| few thousand endearing expressions
| that lovers have at the end of their tongues.
| There Is something In the term that goes
straight to the female heart-when it is said
by the right person-and nothing can ever
displace it. Moreover, the word is intrin-

used in conveying assurances OF affection.

| know what word to employ to best please
his aff1anced, let him try sweetheart"
