and they would not dream Of saying to

the one relation in the world in which
most men and women feel that they
can dispense with an the amenities of
civilization and in which they have
the courage Of their rndeness. "s

the number of faults they possess nor
how they look to-, others, until they

Your husband feels free to tell You not

like schoolgirl when you are closing
