NO man or woman can appropriate

because they are too much alike. II is so
trightful to be in an atmosphere of family
idiosyncracies; to see all the hereditary un-
comeliness or ipfrmity of body, all the de-
tects of speech, all the failings of temper,
intensified by concentration, so that every
fault of our own finds itself multiplied by
reflection like our images in saloon lined
with mirrors. Nature knows what she is
