     A CHARCOAL-BURNER carried on his trade in his own house. One  day  he
met a friend, a Fuller, and entreated him  to  come  and  live  with  him,
saying  that  they  should  be  far  better  neighbors  and   that   their
housekeeping  expenses  would  be  lessened.  The  Fuller  replied,   "The
arrangement is impossible as far as I am concerned, for whatever I  should
whiten, you would immediately blacken again with your charcoal."
     Like will draw like.
