SUMMERS THE TIME
FOR MAKING LOVE

this bitter disappointment can be
brought home to the man experiencing
1t. He takes 4 girl to a dance, for in
stance, ad0res her all evening, comes
upon her, f1eecy wrapped, a little
weary, unWOntedly gentle and tender,
awaiting his escort home when the fes-
t1VltieS are over and it is time to say
good night. The little hand he touches,
by rhaps-trembles a lit
tie, it may be: perhaps it is not drawn
too hastily away The mans heart
beats faster. 1t sings as he thinks Of
all that he will tell this sweet creature
going home.
No Romantic Walks.
But-the cold weather illustrates
him. The girl shivers, folds her wraps
more closely about her. becomes less
and less possible for love making
purposes with the first breath of the
icy outer world. If they are driving
she huddles up in her corner of the
carriage and tries to feel warmer.
Perhaps, if she be a girl of uncertain
temper. she even insinuates, dalicately,
that he really ought to have ordered
better weather.
If they are walking she may be a
trif1e less chilly-in two senses, but
it's equally impossible for the man to
make love.
Lets run" she may suggest, pres
emily, and after that-Well, a girl may
look fairly adorable with checks flush
ed by exercise and eyes alight with
laughter, but she isn't in the mood to
make love to. Besides, they get home
shortly, and Of course no farewells are
prolonged in cold weather. STREET cars,
trains, public conveyanCes of any kind,
are worst of all often. They're nearly
always cold and clammy; the man has
no chance at al.
No Holding Hands.
Skating is no better They float over
the ice, glittering, fairyEike, sparkling,
hand in hand, and together; the moon
light and starlight enchant them; they.
are filled with the beauty Of the night.
The man is filled with most tender
feelings also, but they're not the least
use to him. Going home, they seem
much alone, near in heart and soul
and spirit. Her hands are nearly al
ways cold at this juncture, and per-
haps she slips one into his big pocket.
After much hesitation and faltering,
timidly he ventures to slip his own
in also, to-but once more the anti
Cupid demon of cold weather steps for
ward and spoils it all
i'Br-r-!" says the girl suddenly
snatching away her hand and begin
ming to trot on in front of him. My
feet are just freezing! IL we don't get
along little faster I shall die"
Doesn't Thaw Till Spring.
Or it may be that the man is chilly
creature, physically, whose soul freezes
up in the autumn and doesn't thaw out
until spring. There are men who dis
like and suffer from cold weather 50 in
tensely that they're never really them
selves, let alone at their best, until the
ice breaks, and whose mildest cold
weather expression is q gPowl. Let
such a one beware of any attempt at
midwinter lovemaking. Not every girl
is sufficiently psychic to comprehend
his cold weather crossness, nor sufIi-
GENTLY in love to forget that winter
comes around annually with just the
same regularity as spring. This I'M
fortunate fellows hands are SO cold
always that he wouldn't sense it if y
girl did slip her hand through his arm
