There ate maz; people who-believe a thing true ra:her than take the trouble to preve it false. When a man discovers he is ro long- er pleasing to women he is apt to in- dulge in mcral platitudes. In a rain storm a woman would much rather get her stockings wet all the way up than the narrowest hem of her skirt.
