Now out of their wisdom, they'll counsel apace, but if you'll just sit with a smile on your face, you can do what you mean to whatever they say, if you'll let them imagine they've got their own way. They are pleasant and tactless and troublesome things, but useful companions whatever life brings. Be tender and tactful, amusing 'and then you can do whatever you like with men, Now Bert, you are sittinghere before us as others have done be- fore, and we know you are wish- ing you could! beat it out that door. But before you go my boy I want to make you feel at ease. So listen to my words of wisdom please. Getting married my boy is a 'wonderful joy, but its not just for laughter you make her your wife, It's for all sorts of weather for all sorts of strife, for winter, for summer, in fact it's for life. It's for sunshine and rain, for pleasure and pain. It's not just a promise tolove .now and then, but a pledge to stay faith- ful and fond of her when she burns the biscuits now and then. Now that you have found the wo- man to cherish all your life, We are quite sure she'll prove to be a true and loving wife. May we all wish you both health, wealth and happiness.
