There have been many able writ-
ers on the aubject, and nearly all
agree on the iseue, and that is, that
'frown are placed at a decided dis-
advantage in making a choice.
There is just where the writer,
though he may have no great exper-
ience, proposes not to agree, but on
the other hand to argue against the
opinion. Magazines and other per-
iodicale publish ela'oorately written
articles deploring the Alleged fact
that a woman has no voice in the
matter; that, however witch she may
adore a man, she must hold herself
in reserve and patientlyw:tit for
ltbn to pop the question. Perhaps
lie never does it, but white all Alm

waiting, she marriee some man she

the trees and remained in the
