It cannot be that the women who will bear
the men who will do all these things are to be
JUDGED AS THE BACHELORS VIEW THEM.
The bachelor sees as through a glass, darkly. Being, for the time,
incapable of the passion of love, having failed to exercise it when it
came upon him, he thus rails at woman. If you are young enough, watch
the events of the next thirty years, and see how they will give the lie
to such a tirade as this, from
THE SAME BACHELOR
I quoted at the start: "Not one-half of our marriages have unbiased love
as a foundation on both sides. (The love is usually on the man's side.)
A woman marries for money, position, spite, pride, contrariness, fear of
being an old maid, or for a home which she thinks will afford her more
pleasure than the one she leaves. Love is the last thing to enter her
head, and never her heart. Men of real sound judgment in business throw
this judgment entirely aside when they come to select a wife. A man
might better remain single than marry with the chances nine out of ten
in favor of his making a mistake for life."
SEE HOW LITTLE KNOWLEDGE
of anybody's good points this gentleman displays.
