POTTED PHILOSOPHY.

Virtue may be it's own reward; that explains its unpopularity. A plain duty, like a plain girl, has few wooers. The only time a woman keeps a secret is when you don't want her to. A man will excuse many faults in the woman who is not his wife TTpon receiving an invitation—- " What shall I wear " says woman. Will there be anything decent to drink " says man. The most superfluous thing (o a woman is another woman. It is trying to see how economical th»»y can be that makes men spend their money so furiously. Other men are generally aware of another's ambition before he is himself. The man who minds his own business is never in an overcrowded profession. An open confession is good for the soul—but for nothing else. Friendship stands many strains but it is safer without trial. It's always better to be " very " than "rather." In the game of life man usually plays the knave and the woman the deuce. It never pays to find yourself where you really want to go. Always keep your face towards the sunshine and the shadows will fall behind you. The woman who can refrain from asking her husband where he has been is a philosopher. Women are jealous creatures; they are even jealous of their own noses—for no woman will allow her nose to shine in society. A woman who marries a poor man for love has seldom any objection to her daughter marrying a rich man for his money. There are but two kinds of men—one talks while the other acts. When love at first sight leads to marriage, second sight is apt to lead to divorce.

A man with money to burn may not like the smell of smoke.
