CHAPTER I
" All ! drink if you -will to tbe Kandsome
man.
Or the proud attlete undaunted.
And toast him, too, the husband true,
AAHiose faith has long been vaunted.
And drink to the strong and handsome
man.
But lift your glasses higher
WTien the toasts ring out, in a merry
shout.
For the man that men admire."
— James Clarence Haevet.
Being a bachelor is easy. Staying a
bachelor — ah! there's the hitch! But
that's another story. Yes, it's easy to
be a bachelor, but to be a thorough-
bred, unless it is inbred and the single
man is " to the manner born," is more
difficult. It requires unlimited time,
patience and education as well as a
store of myriad bits of information
on a multitude of subjects.

A BACHELOR'S CUPBOARD
On Being a Bachelor
The " correct " bachelor must not only know howj
but he must know why. He must be a woman's man
and a man's man, an all-round " good fellow." He
must " fit " everywhere and adapt himself to all sorts
of society under all sorts of circumstances. Good
breeding and kindliness of heart are the essentials.
These, above everything, he must have ; and given them,
the other attributes may be easily acquired by study
and observation.
Any man may be a bachelor — most men are at some
time in their lives. The day of the " dude " has passed
and the weakling is relegated to his rightful sphere in
short order. But to the bachelor the world looks for
its enjoyment and inspiration and gayety. Upon him,
as a matter of course, fall many burdens. These, if he
knows how to bear them, are speedily transformed into
blessings and counted as privileges.
Have not some of the world's greatest men enjoyed
lives of single-blessedness? Have not some of its
greatest bon-vivants, epicures, artists, musicians, and
writers led the solitary life from preference rather than
necessity ?
