When woman burns her finger she
cries little oyer it, and keeps the burn in
good condition to show her husband when
he comes home, and get SYM athy. A man
ia the same condition will stick his digit in

at the boy and forget all about IT. Que is
the effect Of love; the other of business.

Back ef the sound hreods the silence. back of

Back of the hand that receives thrill the sens
