spiritual attraction, in like measure.
These thirds may be just as large
as you are capable Of making them.
I am not contending that the
physical attraction will wear off, but
in case it does, there must be other
Interests to fall back on. If two
persons have the same interests, the

is educating himself. He is aiming
at q niche in life that education
will enable him to have. The fact
that he is working his way through
college is an evidence of how badly
he wants it. If you wish to hold
