tracted by a young man, pull yourself together in time and ask yourself, if the affair goes on, would you really like him for a husband? [Illustration: “‘_It is better to marry the life you like, because after a while the man does not matter._’”] Think what it would be to be with him always, at the interminable meals, for years and years, through all the tedious duties which must come with responsibility. Ask yourself if his tastes suit yours, if his bent of mind is the same, if you will be likely to agree upon general points of view. And, if you are obliged honestly to answer these questions in the negative, then have the strength of mind to crush whatever attraction is beginning to spring in your heart. Once it goes on to passion, no reason is of any use, so it is only in the beginning that judgment can be employed. You must remember that like draws like with more or less intensity according to the force of [Illustration: “_Think what it would be to be with him always._”] characters.
