She made up her mind at last, however, to get married, and accepted the 101st offer. The yeung man was killed in an accident, however, before the wedding. The next offer was accepted, but the lover was drafted into the army. Two others were accepted in turn and met a like fate. The next two on the list were in turn drowned before they could be married.
