One hates to think of romance,

It has certainly never been the
intention of this pillar (a syno-
nym for “column” I picked up
the other day) to dash people’s
hopes—and right before Christ-
mas, too.
But I feel it my duty to pass
along the bad news with the
good. And sisters, this is indeed
bad news.
To wit: bachelors are becom-
ing as scarce as 50-cent blue-
plate specials.
The United States Census Bu-
reau, which isn’t much influenced
by whimsy and straws in the
wind, indicates that finding a
husband is currently a girl’s hard-
est job.
In 1940, the bureau reports
rather starkly, one man out of
three who was between the ages
of 20 and 45 was eligible for an
charm and personality have im-
proved so that more of us are ir-
resistable.
Maybe it means that a lot of
gentlemen had their ladies all
picked when a small war inter-
vened. Or maybe it means that
today’s perfumes accomplish the
miracles attributed to them.
But how about the legion of
ladies who’d like to be wed? With
only a handful of bachelors
around, some of the sisters are
going to be left with futures filled
with the traditional cats, canaries
and good works.
This is a grim enough prospect.
