Show e . Courtship, Hearts cannot tlways be taken by storm. , Wooing may be too hasty and precipitate as well as too slow. A man who offers himself to a woman before he has made Bure of her affections is very liable to receive "no" for an answer, when, with a little delay and assiduity combined, he might have made it "yes." There is an instinctive pride in woman which makes her rebel against the idea of being too quickly and too easily wen. She naturally thinks he must hold her love cheap who supposes it may be bad by a comparative stranger for the mere asking. Even in the case of mutual love at first sight she does not willingly forego the pleasures of the delightful period of courtship. The wild bird wooes his mate with long and mellifluous melliflu-ous song, and woman feels it her right to exact homage before marriage. New York Ledger. |
