My readers are a varied lot;
Their tastes do not agree.
A squib that tickles A is not
At all the thing for B.
What's sense to J, is folderol
To K, but pleases Q.
So, when I come to fill the Col,
I know just what to do.

It is refreshing to find in the society columns an account of a quiet
wedding. The conventional screams of a groom are rather trying.

A man will sit around smoking all day and his wife will remark: "My
dear, aren't you smoking too much?" The doctor cuts him down to three
cigars a day, and his wife remarks: "My dear, aren't you smoking too
much?" Finally he chops off to a single after-dinner smoke, and when he
lights up his wife remarks: "John, you do nothing but smoke all day
long." Women are singularly observant.
