REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

A WOMAN never forgives a man for understanding her. Ananias and Sapphira had probably got used to it with the tax assessor. Love is back of half the fool breaks a man makes, and indigestion is back of the other half. A girl always seems to think the men won't think she has a happy disposition unless she shows all her teeth when she has a photograph taken. A widower is always afraid that if he doesn’t act broken hearted, all the women will talk about him. and if he does, none of them will look at him. When the minister says there will be no marriages in heaven, all the old maids look pleased, because they think they will have the laugh on the other women. A woman never completely loves a man unless he is sometimes brutal to her. Every married man knows a girl that he thinks he might marry if his wife died. Every girl has a belief that she can cure a certain man’s headache by stroking his forehead. When a girl wants to get married she always likes to show a man how well she can hold another woman’s baby. When some women get to heaven the first thing they will ask will be how the rest of the angels have agreed to treat Mary Magdalen.
