And he avoids her snare as he would the plague. “Great Scott!” exclaimed the Bachelor in protest. “What hunted animal ever walked knowingly and deliberately into a trap? Besides, there is something a lot more companionable about a busy business girl, who has something to think of between 8.80 and 6.30 o’clock every day, except ‘What HE said, and WHY he said it, and IF he meant it,’ than there ia about sentimental little ‘home-maker,’ who has nothing to do but ‘muse all day on an absent face,’ and is ready to bait you with a lot of subtle references the next time you meet to something you'd forgotten ever happened. One feels so much safer to whisper tender nothings to a girl who will forget them by morning than to one whose mind is like a patent non-refillable bottl smiled the Widow sympathetically. “Every day is ANOTHER day to a busy business woman, and every flirtation merely another sentimental experiment—just as they are to a man,” and the Widow Jaughed softly, “that’s what makes her so dangerous!” “Dangerous!” The Bachelor jumped. “I thought you said she waa SAFE!" @ ; All Over but Setting the Date.

But the girl who stays at home and waits for Prince Charming to come riding by will find that he'll ride RIGHT BY at a canter.
