we are unable to see that these new

Not very long ago q man attracted
more attention than he was entitled to
by announcing that after living with
that she was not his real affinity. He
learned this by meeting another wom-
an who took his fancy. But was he
right the second timer Not At ali; his
affinity was not his soulmate any more
than his wife was, and he found an
other affinity. We forget whether he
is still consorting with her or with
third affinity. Evidently the soul-mut-
ing is NO more successful than regu-
lar marriage. and q man can no more
trust his recognition of his affinity
than no can depend ON his ordinary
affections.
