A sharp, witty collection of aphorisms about love, society, and daily life.
Readable humor that reveals the quirks of urban life with a light touch. This book gathers the epigrams of Eve, a brilliant voice that skewers manners and mores with charm and sly humor. Through compact, memorable lines, Sophie Irene Loeb explores love, marriage, ambition, and the social world of her time. The result is inviting, playful reading that prizes wit over sermon.

To Humanity do I dedicate this book. For, from Humanity I took it. If I have not taken it rightly or justly, pray, gentle human, it is for you to take it, As You Like It or As You Find I t. It is for you to remember that which may seem Wise and forget that which may seem Otherwise. If you are a good player on the checker-board of life you will readily recognise Some People, What Is a Friend, A Fool, and perchance you may thereby win Love, Marriage, Money the Humanisms of existence. And if you are of the same opinion Before and After reading these pages, you have but lost your time; and the best player in the whole game of life is he who knows how to be a good loser. THE AUTHOR, AD aughter of Eve.
