MUO BANI We married fellows don't mind in the least all the slighting remarks the bachelors say about us, such as having such a tough time with our mothers-in-law, how the baby keeps us up at night, and the studying time our wives consume by insisting that we mop the floor, etc. We wouldn't exchange our lot for theirs for any- thing. Think of the hardships the poor single fellow has to endure! No home cooking, a noisy dorm in which to do one's studying, and girl- friend troubles all the time. True, there are more responsibilities, but is there anything any better than responsibility to bring out the best in a man? ‘They twain shall be one flesh.’ That's just the way we like it. BAGHELU Marriage is a wonderful institution,’ so they say, but who wants to live in an institution? Futhermore, who wants to be tied down with the heavy cares of life at such a tender age as most of us bachelors are? Of course, there are times when we look with envy upon our married brothers—they do not have to worry about which girl to take to the next artist series, nor do they experience the sinking feeling we get when the florist states his exorbitant price; neither do they have to put up with nightly escapades of a bunch of noisy, irresponsible young swains. Just the same it's a great life if you don't weaken —but we do expect to weaken—when the right girl comes along!
