1--WE pictured the man that I'll marry"
she said.
When reaching her seventeenth year:
"There's only one kind that / ever will
wed,
And he must a hero appear.
This man must be able and handsome
Apollo, and Mrs all in one
And if l can't captivate such as I crave.
Why then. l assert, I'll have none"
"All men have their faults" she was
heard to exclaim.
When reaching her twenty fifth year.
"Of course l am looking for merit and
fame,
But much may be lacking l fear.
I'd like to have dignity, courage and
grace.
A man who is earnest and true,
Who's strong for the battle and swift for
the race
But half of these virtues will do"

For she had decided, it seemed to be
