Beware of Cousins.

Cousins are not as simple as they
seem. The very fact of being a cousin,
is complicated. The laissezfaire of
cousinship is both eluding and
eluding-cousins will be cousins.
even if you did not choose them
They can borrow money from you,
visit you without being asked,
tell people they belong to your fam
lily, contest your will, even fall in love
with you-and cousin once removed
is twice as apt to. Never completely
trust a cousin-never depend on his
not doing any of these things. New
er take him for granted. The "cous-
inly kiss" may or may not mean what
It means. And cousins always do kiss
its part of being cousins.-Atlantic.
