Nobody knows how long martial law

Attitude Is Typical
Their attitude is typical of that Of the

still unsettled and business was pretty
bad generally. but the authorities were
confident that the worst was over.

That is, when the overideal-

to the conclusion that all the
other fine qualities that the
fallen hero may actually possess
are as nothing as well.
The beloved object. therefore,
does not receive credit for even

Women probably tend to, glo-
rify more than men and espe-
cially is this true during the
romantic time of courtship. For
every woman likes to flater
herself that her man-the man
she has chosen-is different
from all others. Whereas other
males may flirt q bit or actu-
ally philander, whereas others
may grow cold in affection,
surely the man whom she
picked is ideal.
Then after the honeymoon
stage is over such a woman
comes face to face with stern
reality and her disillusionment
becomes as exaggerated as was
her original idealiSm. She finds
that her husband is human
after all-not q god nor a half
god. And then she concludes at
once that happiness in this
world can never be hers.

It Is one thing to trust and
love a person, to think he is
above the average, but 1t is quite
another to overdo that attitude.
Decentralization is bound to
come to grief sooner or later.
And the reason is not far to
seek.
We all are human. We all
have faults. We are prone to
make mistakes. disappoint our
friends or somehow create doubt
in the minds of those who care
for us.
When we do commit error,
when we fall off the pedestal
that adoring or beloved persons
have placed us on, there is a
cruel and harsh awakening, and
such awakenings usually hurt!
This business of glorifying
others almost to the point of alb

foundation.

could possibly be more wonder

The habit of placing a halo of

It would not really matter so
much were it not for the fact
that such DECENTRALIZATION is

grief.
