Many a man and woman, too

will find more who "have nothing to

walks of life than elsewhere, good,
honest folk who have met with a
measure of success, a taste of re-
verses, and quite a few unrealized
dreams. Probably IL is because of
the dreams that they feel SO thank
less.
They hope for too much. Their
air castles were too magnificent, too

they hoped for much, gained little.
