rather early to have any anXieties on that

liehtful Bachelors enough to insure IL
partner for the dan ceS-
The rule of supply and demand works
Just as unfailingly in this as in any other
condition in life, and the plain facts in
the case are that there are not enough
men 10 20 around and some sweet, dear
girls are bound TO be left quietly at home,
While their luckiPr sisters are dancing at
the smartest function of the season.
The Bachelors are a number OF well
known society men who, together, give
