Globe Lights and Abridged Wit on Money and Marriage
A fragmentary conservatory of quips contrasts mortality with fortune. It notes that the average man vies with the rich, a bride’s aisle walk may be the devil’s doing, and women’s refusals often outpace their promises. Men who brag retract their boasts, and those demanding sympathy rarely find gain. The piece closes with a cynical take on people who air their troubles rather than seek popularity.
