Whop asked recently why he had so many girls he said: "Oh! all girls talk, as they write, very much alike, but utill there is more variety va-riety in twenty than in one. Besides, I keep a regular set of books at home in which I enter every cent I spend on them, nnd it affords mo considerable amusement. amuse-ment. For instance, I charge cost of theatre tickets, flowers, supper and carriage car-riage hire, and then credit it with the amount of pleasure I hal. as, 'passable time,' 'Enjoyed tho' evening hugely,' etc. The girls who afford me the most enjoyment enjoy-ment receive the greater number of invitations, in-vitations, so I think I may fairly say that I seek relaxation and pleasure in the same wsy that I attend to my business on system."
