When vowed to be bsohe Tor all my
days (oath solemnly registered at twenty
two, with a cigar ia. my mouth and bun
die Of love letters in my drawer)-I con-
sidered that only two species Of, love ever
existed---one for oue's-self and the other
for'women ten years older than one s. self.
But since then have. taken counsel
and slloted Twenty onespeeies Of affection
to mankind.

There Is what may be called the Spring
Lovel .'.s
That Of boys Of sixteen Cor girls of
fourteen, encountered at Boarding School
Exhibitions, and all misty in clouds of
book muslin, blue sashes, and familiar
compositions.

impels them to Iatherly interest, aud the

But there is one species Of Love which
always delights mc 10 contemplate.
Itis that cultivated by some middle
ugcd women for men twenty years older
than themselves.
These good souls take pride in tho idea
that thefo Is no nonsense about such at
taohments, and the worst thing that can
be said about them is that there isn't.

man.like pride which young brides exhibit
in rarading their new husbands about
