FALLING IN LOVE.
The Sarest Guide for the Ultimate Happis
ness of Races and Individuals.

ness OF Races anu Inultltuaiss
Short men as a rule prefer tall wom-
en-, while tall men admire little
women. Dark pairs by preference
with fla ir; the commonplace often runs
after the original. People have long
noticed that this attraction towards
one's opposite tends to keep true the
standard of the race; they have not,
perhaps, so generally observed that it
also indicates roughly the existence in
either individual of a desire for its
own natural complement. 1t is diIli-
cult here to give definite examples, but
everybody knows how, in the subtle
psychology of falling in love, there are
involved innumerable minor elements,
physical and mental, which strike us
exactly because of their absolute adapta-
ton to form with ourselves an adequate
union. OF course, we do not definitely
seek out and discover such qualities;
instinct works far more intuitively
than that; but we find at last, by subse-
quent observation. how true and how
Trustworthy were its immediate indica-
tions That is 20 say, those men do so
who were wise enough or fortunate
enough to follow the earliest prompt-
ings of their own hearts, and not to be
ashamed of that divinest and deepest
Of human institutions, love at first
sight.
1 do not doubt that, as the world
goes on, deeper sense of moral re-
sponsibility in the matter OF marriage
will grow up among us. But it will
not take the false direction of ignoring
these, our profoundcst and holiest in
stincts. Marriage for money may 90;
marriage for rank may go; marriage
for position may go; but marriage for
love, / be c6eve and trust will last for
