WHO HAVE POSED
FOR SOME OF THESE PORTRAITS
Don’t be ashamed to let us know
Why you tried matrimony,
For others brave the under-tow
For reasons quite as funny;
We give these little facts away,
Perhaps it is a treason,
Don’t marry in an off-hand way,
Be sure “there’s a reason!”

STUNG!
He was a gentle and sensitive chap,
He married the forceful Miss Howe,
He wanted her sympathy, did the poor yap—
He has everyone’s sympathy now!

SHE KEPT HER WORD.
Maud hung onto straps in the Subway and “L,”
No man ever said “Take my seat!”
She swore that she’d marry the first one who did—
The next day her husband did meet!

SKIDDOO!
When your wife jams her hat on and packs up her bag
And says “I shall go back to mother!”
If you sniff she will say, “Just for that I will stay!”
One excuse is as good as another.

SHE LOOKED SO DOCILE!
John Quincy tho’ kindly and gentle, declared:
“The man must be master, by gum!”
But his outlook on life, is just what his dear wife
Lets him peer at from under her thumb!

NOT A QUITTER.
Wilhemina’s bridegroom failed to show up at the church
So she yanked the driver off the wedding hack,
And married him in lieu of John, who’d left her in the lurch
For she would NOT send the wedding presents back.

EVER KNOW IT TO FAIL?
“I never could marry that kind of a man!”
Said Miss Sue of a fellow named Sid—
So of course the gods heard her and laughed when they saw,
’Twas exactly the kind that she did!

HOW WAS SHE TO KNOW?
The reason sweet Alice got married to-day—
Sweet Alice, so prettily blushing,
She hadn’t the faintest idea that the gent
Had another wife over in Flushing.
