.Girls complain that men do not
marry. Tho complaint is thread
bare; it was the per grievance of
the mothers and the grandmothers
of the present generation, yet a
comfortable proportion of the fair
complainants became mothers of
families when their turn came.
There are few girls in American
society who cannot marry if they
choose. Only they must not reckon
on starling in life where their
mothers lett off.
