SOME EPIGRAMS
(United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright).
(Received this day at 11.25. a.m.) LONDON, Oct. 23.
Lord Dewar, who is famous for after meal epigrams has coined' a new collection on “Man’s Anthem, Woman.” Toasting ladies at a poultry club banquet he said: “The world needs more permanent wives, and less permanent waves. It is woman’s duty to provide for the inner man and man’s duty is to provide for the outer woman.
“Man should be judged by his wife’s clothes, which cost more than the Garden of Eden, but aren’t they worth it?
“Brevity is the soul of this frock business. Women display more hackhone than men. When a man hares his shoulders he catches cold. When h girl hares her shoulders she catches a husband.
‘Some mothers lives are one darned stocking after another.”
