Harry Jones was a prominent member of a fraternal lodge. At the breakfast table he was relating to his wife an incident that occurred at the lodge the previous night. The president of the lodge offered a silk hat to the brother who could stand up and truthfully say that during his married life he had never kissed any woman but his own wife. "And, would you believe it, Helen?--not a one stood up." "Harry," his wife said, "why didn't you stand up?" "Well," he replied, "I was going to, but I know I look like hell in a silk hat."

Most men who run down women are running down one woman only---Remy de Gourmont.
