Pointed Paragraphs from the Chicago News
A collage of wry aphorisms on marriage, family, faith, and ambition. It blends social quips on mother-in-law usage, Christian plans, laughter, fame, widows seeking wealth, and eccentricities of relatives. The voice skewers pretensions with sharp, ironic observation.
Reflections of a Bachelor from the New York Press
Scandalfies on wings truth crawls on its knees. Nobody ought really to wish for content, for then he will be dead. The only time a man isn t afraid of the cook is when she is his wife. A useful thing about being very rich is you can t be popular, but you can t get into jail if you try. A man has to spend his next Christmas money on the summer vacation and then next Christmas his next summer vacation money on that.
