the affair is so great that had the villain

Familiarity breeds peauty, Tao.

After you come TO know people very In.
timately, you do not know whether they
are pretty or not. Their ways make an
Impression on you, but not their noses
and ears, their eyes and mouths. In time
the soul expresses itself TO you, and Il is
that which you see.
A man who has been married twenty
years scarcely knows what his wife looks
like. He may declare that he does, and
toll you that she is a bewitching little
blonde, with soft blue eyes, long after she
Is fat and red and 40; because the Image
OF his early love is in his heart, and he
doesn't see her as she is to-day, but as she
was when he courtsd her.
Or,being an indifferent husband, he may
not know she IS the fine woman that other
people think her. You haze known men
who have married the plainest women
and think them beauties; and You know
beauties who are quite thrown away on
men who value wife for her success as
a cook.
