An advice classic from 1913 that explains to young women everything they need to know about men - in a cheeky, irreverent, devil-may-care style. The book is 120 pages of wry and pithy sayings by a woman who understands men. Each page will make women smile and fill men with chagrin. This is the way the game was played 100 years ago, ladies - with perhaps more success than any have had recently. Read The Sayings of Mrs. Solomon and learn the ancient wisdom about husbands, flirts, damsels, bachelors, and sirens - and how the seven-hundredth wife triumphs over them all.

The Sayings of Mrs. Solomon GREETING

Hearken, my Daughter, and give ear unto my wisdom, that thou mayest understand man-his goings and his comings, his stayings out and his return in the morning, his words of honey and his ways of guile.

Beloved, question me not, whence I have learned of man, his secrets. Have I not known one man well? And verily, a woman need know but one man, in order to understand all men; whereas a man may know all women and understand not one of them.

For men are of but one pattern, whereof thou needest but to discover the secret combination; but women are as the Yale lock-no two of them are alike.

Lo! What a paradox is man-even a puzzle which worketh backward!

He mistaketh a sweet scent for a sweet disposition, and a subtile sachet for a subtile mind.

He voweth, "I admire a discreet woman!"-and inviteth the froward blonde of the chorus to supper.

12 He muttereth unto his wife, "Lo! I will go unto the corner for a cigar"-and behold, he wandereth unto many corners and returneth by a circular route.

He kisseth the woman whom he loveth not, and avoideth her whom he loveth, lest his heart become entangled. Yea, he seeketh always the wrong woman that he may forget his heart's desire.

Yet, whichever he weddeth, he regretteth it all the days of his life.

SELAH.

Hayley was betrayed by those who should have loved her most. To save their precious adopted daughter from a punishment she deserved, her own parents sent Hayley straight into a living hell—an infamous prison where survival demanded cruelty, and weakness meant death. Four years later, the girl who had entered those iron gates no longer existed. She emerged with a single, unbreakable rule carved into her soul: Every betrayal would be repaid tenfold. The day she walked free, the world trembled. A convoy of luxury cars lined the road. A legion of loyal followers awaited her triumphant return. Her father tried to buy her silence with money. But money had long lost its power over her. Her adopted sister hid behind sweet words and false kindness. But empty smiles no longer fooled her. Everything that had once been stolen would be reclaimed—piece by piece. When her parents attempted to tie themselves to the city's most feared man by offering their adopted daughter, Hayley's lips curved into a cold smirk. "Not on my watch." Backed by a legendary hacker, shadowy allies, and an entire prison willing to burn the world for her, Hayley dismantled her enemies with terrifying precision. Then the tyrant noticed her. "You're interesting," he said. "Be my woman, and the city is yours." Hayley raised an eyebrow, unimpressed. "You want to own me? Survive me first." High society became their battlefield. Power collided with desire. Ambition clashed with obsession. In this ruthless game of dominance and temptation, only one would kneel first. The girl once abandoned in hell rose from its ashes, crowned by fire and vengeance—And in the end, even the most feared ruler in the city would bow, offering his empire to the woman who had conquered both hell… and him.
