and prove thai interests only moves. If you
have friend who loves YOU who has
studied Your interest and happiness be sure
TO sustain him in adversely. Let him feel
that his former kindness is appreciated, and
that his love was not thrown away. Real
fidelity may be rare. but it exists in the heart.

hearts and countless iavorS, when they have
been brought low by disease or adversely.
