The men are not what she dreamed them to be, there never was such a person as Prince Charming; and the women embrace her--if she is pretty and graceful--with arms bristling with needles of envy and malice; and the rosal tint that she saw in the approach is nothing more or less than jaundice; and, one day disheartened and bewildered, she learns that the world is only a jumble of futile, ill-made things.

This was a strange world to her, and if her youth rosal-tinted it with romance, what right had he to disillusion her?
