appalling, aad a wife who will see to their

nails look too much on the outside of
things, and Judge people by looks, man

no other love will ever replace 1t. Other
affections may attempt to do so, but

90 the first and last real love. The per
son inspiring such love is often indicat-
ed by a or oss between the lines of heart
and head, the inyariable sign of an in

however, sometimes show irksome in
