" Alh! drink if you will to the handsome man, Or the proud athlete undaunted. And toast him, too, the husband true, Whose faith has long been vaunted. And drink to the strong and handsome man. But lift your glasses higher When the toasts ring out, in a merry shout, For the man that men admire."

- James Clarence Harvey.

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 thoroughbred, 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.
