NEW YoRK, Oct. 25.-Marriage, love, i'm
proved underwear, and meteors are what
people talk about. If talking OF love make.
love, there will be about 500, 900 lovers IL
New York city and a proper number OF
marriages, SO that next year will really be
the time to have the census taken. / have
given my opinion on marriage but lately
have been exploiting myself on the subject
of love.
A MAN ASIA, "wHAT IS Lover
The man at whom hurled my opinions be-
ing extremely cynical Said lie, "Whst is
lovei 1t is a selfish desire on the part Of
one person to monopolize all the time, at
tention and charms of another. It is spoken
of as being everlasting, and yet men jest
about their summer and winter girls, and
think presidential election, a rise or fall
IN stocks, more interesting than any love
that was ever dreamed OF. Some fool Of a
man commits suicide-says he does 1t for
love. Some fool of woman runs in debt
buying new frocks spends her time before
the looking -glass, aud all because she
wishes to make a man love her. Bother
love-" said he; give me comradeship. l
want to feel thst can be pleasant with a
woman, that we can trot around together,
that we can enjoy the same things, discuss
the same questions, without all this fol-de-
rol nonsense called love. As for the love
described by erotic poets, you ought to drop
the and ic Off the ad jective, and you
would have the proper name for it"
AND PRETTY "BAD" TELLS HIM.
"Ho, hol" said I, ''my master; so you
want oompauionship, do you, and you
think love of little worthi o, what fools
these men be, especially these intellectual,
nineteenth century meni My dear sir. there
never lived man in this world who didn't
want a woman to love him. He talks
about comradeship and affection. What
he wants is love and devotion. He thinks
that everything else in life-protoplasms
and meteors, and all the rest of the non
sense-should come before love- Where
in the world have his eyes beenl
1t is true that crimes have been
committed for love, but oh, so many good
things have been done for its sake There
have been self-denial and unselfishness
There have been the giving up of great
hopes, and, sometimes, the absolute killing
OF ones hearts desires for the sake of dear
love. The world could no more 10 on with
out love than it could without sunshine.
You can talk about patriotism, you can rest
on your mentality, but you viii never find
that either of these will give you the same
pleasure, nor anywhere near it, that comes
when you have got your arm around a
small woman and you look down into eyes
that turn TO you with devotion"
''IT is woMAN7s WHOLE EXISTENCE"
As for the love written about by the ladies
who like very intense color on their books,
have nothing to say; it is much more
written about than lived, and though many
sins have been committed in the name of
love, there have been a lot more of good
deeds done; and on the great recording book
the good will blot out the bad. A woman
as naturally needs love as she does bread
and butter, and when she don't get it her
life is q barren one, without any of the
sweet flowers or rich fruit with which il
should be garnished. Sentimental Perhaps
so. But | have great number of noble
predecessors, and l put myself down as be-
lieving In love first, foremost and always
and though don't like a gerret. because
I'm not strong enough to climb many stairs.
still, I'd rather be there and have the love
than reside in the finest second-story front,
with real lace curtains and indifference.
Men like to say that when poverty comes
love disappears; now every man who says
that knows that he ia a downright fbber.
WOMEN HAVE STUCK BY MEN
Through the direst sort of poverty, have
tried to make things better, and have usu-
ally succeeded. II you will Just remember
you never heard of man striving to make
both ends meet-its always a woman. NV
gentle friends If you can get the love of a
good woman, you have got the best thing in
life, and from king on his throne to the
peasant working in the field there is moth
ing surpasses it, and the beautiful part Of
it all is that king and peasant alike may
have it and be happy.
THE REFORMED UNDERoLoTHEs QUESTION.
Ny cynic found himself little upset after
this TRADE, and so he thought he would do
as men always do when they are worsted-
!; e.. change the subject by asking me, after
the form of an interviewer, what thought
of the common sense under wear? / said I
didn't think 1t was worthy of consideration,
and that fully understood the feelings of
the old lady who came to town and was
entertained by her daughter by being taken
to hear woman lecture on reformed under
clothes in the afternoon and to Bob Inger-
soil at night. When they got home the
daughter said, well, mother, what do you
think of It'll" Good gracious me-" an
swered the old lady, "what is the world
coming too No hell, DO chemise." That's
the way feel on the reformed underclothes
question. i may mention. though, that the
period when the chemise first made its ap-
pearance was about the most immoral
known, and so rare were the full length
chemise that people had Sits cut in their
beautiful skirts, just on the hips, and the
chemise was dragged through to show that
1t extended below the waist: and that Is
what the artistic pulling through of silk or
satin had its origin in.
sUsPENDERs OF EMERALDs AND DIAMONDS.
The last thing in the jewelry line Is most
marvellous. 1t consists of pair of white
silk suspenders to hold up the stockings. the
clasps being emerald hearts with diamonds
upon them. | gazed at them with great
admiration, but doubt very much if they
have sale. However, as the race of fools
Is not dying out, it is possible that they NAV
have an admirer with purse very full OF
gold.

Very smart luncheons this winter will be.
II the London vogue is followed, all white
