She is mostly the one who goes from girlhood to womanhood unwed- ded, until she wakes up and offers less anxiety for the time to come when the right one will put in an appearance. =l More than one of the fair sex has lost in the winning onf a good husband by being too romantic, too positive that they were really in love before the
 wooing had capped the climax. Many have proven that one too many bursts of sentiment have become disenchant- ling; expectations have vanished and the one-tine admirers existence has passed away.
