THOUGHTS FOR THE TIMES
A.ukkioan Simii.ks. An ardent selector of similes has spent about a year gathering a few which he considers rather neat: Mean as the man who gave a homing pigeon for a birthday present.— Anon. Divided against itself like muttonchop whiskers.—Arthur Baer. Life is playing a violin solo in public and learning the instrument as one goes along.—Arnold Bennett. A flapper-is like a bungalow, painted in front, shingled in the rear, and nothing in the attic.—Richard Henderson. She has a mind like a framed sentiment to set above an office desk.— Fannie Hurst. Bores are like dentists’ drills.—Adieus Huxley. Lonely as a. revivalists’ notion of Heaven.—H. Bedford .Tones. About as welcome as a creaking floor is to a burglar.-—George Broadhurst.
