1910 vintage Romance postcard. "There's many a slip 'twixt the cup and the lips" is an English proverb. It implies that even when a good outcome or conclusion seems certain, things can still go wrong. This card promises nothing goes wrong when True Love reigns. Inscribed:
We have all of us heard full many a time,
Of the slip t'wixt the cup and the lip.
But who ever heard of a cup that could slip,
When held in the grip at the true lovers lip
