one another,
In the same way, men with greenish grey or hazel eyes tend to marry women with eyes of like colour.
The average height of a 'man he gave as from 67in, to 68in, that of a woman as 62fin., and he contended that the average tall man has a tall wife, and the short man a short wife.
"One could hardly imagine a man choosing a wife by measuring her from forefinger to forefinger," said the professor; yet his dia- grams demonstrated that as the span of one increased so did that of the other.

I agree with you, and I suppose everybody will agree with you, that an excessively developed intellect always weakens the im mediate emotion. Still more, it often nibbles the very instinct of life. And, do you know, it is bad if there is no balance in man, if he is inwardly so distorted that he painfully yearns something-years because his mind has begun an intense struggle with his emotion?

A man, to be popular, has to give a good deal of the time that should be devoted to his business, or to his family, to others who neither ask nor care whether he has the time or the money necessary for convivial intercourse w them. He has also to belong to a number o Clubs, principally devoted to sports and amuse- ments, which cuts another big slice out of his working hours, and out of his earnings, and very often indeed it takes away the whole of them; and the more proficient he is in some [406
