Every seventh woman in Germany is doomed to be ; an old maid. There simply are not i men enough to go around and. to ; !!!ake the situation worse, most of i the emigrants who are seeking for tunes in foreign lands are men of , marriageable age. Hence the appeals in newspaper advertisements for husbands and the alluring offers of women with furnished nouses and established businesses for spouses. All in all there are 15,000,000 more women than men in Europe, but the Shortage of males is greater in Ger many than in any other country. In Austria and Hungary every fifth woman is doomed to single blessed ness.
