A Difference in Pockets.
One of the ways of telling whether a man is a married man or not is to examine his pockets. In the pocket of a bachelor you will find :— Half-a-dozen letters from girls. A tailor's bill. Three or four old checks for theatre seats. Bills for supper. Theatrical-looking photographs. A lot of invitations for dances, dinners, and receptions. A tiny glove scented with violet. But the married man's pocket will contain :—: — An old bill. A couple of unposted letters which were given to him to post a week past. A sample of an impossible shade which he must match. A newspaper clipping telling a sure cure for croup. A shopping list, ranging from a box of blacking to 3yds of lace. Bills. More bills !
