the charm is dispelled. He becomes
but an ordinary man. Human interest
is greater in the anticipation than liz

pended. 1t is a fundamental law OF
nature that a thing is valuable in pro-
portion as IL is useful. A married man
is useful to but one, or at most hall a
dozen; it depends upon the force Of his
personality. A bachelors sphere OF
usefulness, on the other hand, is with
out limit. He is useful to the whole
wide world.
