And here is our family all in a row.

Their eyes meet, their hands meet,
Their lips meet, their lawyers meet.

***

Ann: Why don’t you marry, Jane?
Jane: I will only marry a man who knows life and has learned its sorrows.

Necessity is a hard nurse, but she raises strong children.
To be born with a silver spoon in one’s mouth.

1. Read the following passage and answer the questions after it:

Here are brief descriptions of the men of the first three months of the year.

The January Men do most things rather slowly. So if your man is one of these, do not expect a lightning courtship or a very speedy marryiage - though if born before December 28th he will do a little faster. Let him do all the wooing himself, for he likes to be the leader and to make up his own mind.

Don’t look for him to be a picturesque wooer. He won’t often call you pet names or tell you he loves you. But to the right girl he shows a deep devotion, expressed in deeds of kindness rather than in words.

He is very ambitious. Nothing and nobody must stand in the way of his career. Take a real interest in his work if you want to win and keep him.

The girls who are happiest with January men are those born under the zodiac signs of Taurus, Virgo and his own sign of Capricorn.

The February Men are those with birthdays between January 21st and February 20th. You are quite likely to meet this man in a club or institution, for he is interested in all such things and will like you to be.

He is rather pessimistic. But he is fascinating, companionable, trustworthy and a very good father. Except financial ups and downs you may marry him, for his fortunes vary a good deal. The girl who weds him should preferably be born in his own sign or in those of Gemini or Libra.

The March Man makes an almost ideal lover, for he is romantic, deeply affectionate, unselfish and very generous. If he loves a girl he will adapt to her opinions, spend his last penny on her and do everything in the world to show his devotion. At the same time, such a blind love exacts constant attention in return.

He adores travel and often meets his future wife on a journey or staying abroad. He hates long engagements. As he is usually lucky with money when young, the wedding bells are likely to ring soon.

The ideal wife for him is one born under the signs of Cancer or Scorpio, or failing these, in his own sign of Pisces.
