Excerpt from The Line's Busy It's funny, Myrtle, when you come to think of it - though I ain't referring to George how extravagant some men are when they're after a girl. Why, every time you turn around, it's a box of candy, and they wouldn't leave you carry it for fear you'd get callouses on your hands. And after they marry you - and this goes for a lot of 'em - they bring you candy about as often as Christmas comes around, and let you do light exercises with the dishes and scrubbing brush from morning till night. It's getting harder every day to pick out the right kind of man, and you can read all this Advice to Lovers in the newspapers and know as much as you did before you started. Mebbe I'm wrong, but I always had a hunch that the boy who looks before he spends and is saving up for a building lot is about the right thing when it comes to Safety First. That's some motto for an automobile or a woman - both being expensive. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
