dreamy eyed persons still talk about

Is determined by quite a different per-

She is his fate" because she has
resolved to marry him. What he wishes
is matter of little moment. He must
change his wishes and she sees to it
that he does.
A woman fails in love first because
she has keener perceptions than mans.

want and know it sooner than a man
does
