This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1922 edition. Excerpt: ...a onesided affair." "Love is pretty much a one-sided affair. One person always loves more than the other. Women always do. No man ever loves a woman as much as she loves him. I've seen too many women giving up everything for men who didn't care a rap for them. I suppose that's natural too.
