Iove,s Youno Dream

Next to a requited attachment, one of the most convenient tn igs a young man can carry about with him at the beginning of his career is an unrequit- ed attachment. It makes him feel important and business-like and blase and cynical; and whenever he has a touc.l of liver or suffers from want of exercise, he can mourn over his lost love and be very happy in a tender twilight fashion.-Rudyard Kipling.
