AFTER MEAL EPIGRAMS
NEW COLLECTION ON “ WOMAN.” LORD DEWAR’S LATEST. (United Press Association.) (By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) LONDON, October 23. Lord Dewar, who is famous for his after-meal epigrams, has coined a new collection on “ woman.” Toasting the ladies at the Poultry Club’s banquet, he said: “ The world needs more permanent wives and less permanent waves.” “It is a woman’s duty to provide for the inner man, and the man’s duty is to provide for the outer woman.” “ A man should be judged by his wife’s clothes, which cost more than they did in the Garden of Eden; but aren’t they worth it?” “Brevity is the soul of this frock business.” “Women display more backbone than men.” “ When a man bares his shoulder he catches a cold. When a girl bares her shoulders she catches a husband.” “ Some mothers’ lives are one darned stocking after another.”—United Service.
