Here's another married man that's
been holdln' hands with some dame,
and when the date rolls around for
their wedding it turns out he's got
a wife he's had for 25 years.
His wife thinks the "bride-to-be"
must have known about her, as she
. wrote to her husband every day
when he and this girl were at the
same summer camp, because she
says she put her name "Mrs. So and
So" up in the corner of every letter 1
As if any married man who want
ed to pass himself off as single to a
girl couldn't explain away a little
thing like that 1
It'm pretty tough to get a line on
these fast men workers when you,
meet them. The ".Mrs." on a
woman's name always is a clue, or
she wears a wedding ring, but how
are you going to tag one of these
careless male birds that is heavily
wed, but has single ideas?
They won't wear wedding rings!
There ought-a be some kind of
clue in the introduction such as
"ThlB is Mr.-and-Jones," the "and"
meaning that there is a Mrs. He
ought-a be made to have that on his
cards; it would save such a lot of
trouble for trusting young ladies
who are inclined to take a little at
tention seriously!
Of course, to anyone that is wise,
a married man can't fool 'era long: ,
There la an over enthusiasm and old
tricks that give the house-broke and
a bit henpecked male away right at
the start. Some time his very seem
ing singleness makes one suspicious,
because, so far as I can see, the sin
gle' guys generally would have you
think they are tied so that you won't
try to land them.
There are enough weak-minded
girls around the world who are only
too willing to entertain some other
woman's husband, so why in the
world Is any married man so yellow
as to win a real girl who wouldn't
consider him for a minute if ehe
dreamed that he were married 1
But it's being done!
Why don't some of these reform
ers lay off wine or cigarettes and
the foreign missions and start In on
the married men?. They're the real
men-ace !
The savages have better ideas
than we have about these things.
Why not adopt their methods of
sticking a bone hairpin through the
nose of married folks so they will
have to give the singles a chance.
Leap Tear is here, girls !
I may have my faults, but they're
not married men 1
