in the October Woman's Home Com
ion in which he talks about how meu
feel when they're engaged or married.

beings instead of divine goddesses.

scientific, and inevitably it must bring
disillusion, which leans cOmplica-
tons. The d%isillusiOn is precipitated
by the universal instinct to Overesti-

underestimate that which one has got,
