LITTLE BRAIN WAVES.

It takes a good many crumbs of comfort to make a square meal. The self-made man is always ready to respond to calls for the author. The right way to talk is to close your mouth before you have said too much.

The man who is a failure at inventing excuses has no business to get married.

There is only one woman in a man's life who really counts; all the otherß aro just painted shadows. If all girls were pennilesß, and all men earned not more than thirty shillings a week, there would be mote real love affairs.

In nearly every marriage on earth one of the parties get 3 a lift and the other a fall —love, money, and social standing on both sides are extremely rare.

Some business men who find themselves at the top of the tree in finances discover when too late that they are at the bottom in manner?.

Some people's careers are like rockets—a mighty roar, a pathway of fire, a burst of brilliant stars, and then down they go, empty husks into the darkness.

It should be a point of honour with every man to write a decently phrased love-letter. You never know when they will become public property. Most women learn love by lightning, and it's agony to have to wait while men slowly arrive at it by the light of the sun, moon, and stars. Will nothing ever teach them to hurry?

Women are so careless; they will leave a perfectly good husband about anywhere, and then, expect to come back at the pnd of the summer and find him exactly where they left him.

A woman had better marry the man she loves and nobody else, because nobody else is a bit of good. You may marry a man with half a dozen motor cars, but you may not enjoy one of them if he is with you, whereas you get some fun out of a drive in a donkey cart if there's a good fellow sitting on the boarM beside you.
