CYNICISM IS POSE ASSUMED
AFTER ONE HAS HAD PAINFUL
ATTACK OF LOVESICKNESS
BY DOROTHY FENIMoRE.

cle The affair is a huge joke. The
cynic before you, who plainly imagines
himself to be his majesty, Is in reality
but royal Jester, whose chief distinc-
ton from others of the motley is that
he wears his cap and bells with a diff
ference.
Confirmed cynicism invariably is a
pose or profession. In the beginning
II undoubtedly was sincere, especially
IT love was its occasion; once it was a
mood of pain, or OF insulted strength,
which sought to give back blow for
blow But afterward-why afterward
1t found its performance took with the
multitude, and, yielding to a human
weakness, it allowed itself to become
a demagogue, pandering to general
prejudice for bitterness.
Few men at heart are thorough
cynics about love and the high estate Of
womanhood. even when, from sheer
perversity or for personal 'agerandize-
ment, they go out of their way to make
the world believe so. In some niche of
their souls there is enshrined a Lady
of Holy Love to whom they bow the
knee.
Occasional cynicism is just a grown
up way of making believe" for the
sake OF an acute sensation. Most
adults are like children in needing
good cry now and then, and in trying to
pry the flood gates open by an ina
gined sorrow. In ten cases out Of
twelve. when you see a woman weep
ing, you may safely take it for grant
cd ho hA Ill
And cynicism is for man what tears
are for woman. Both are means
which nature has provided to satisfy
a crying need
The healthy attitude toward love has,
of course, a grain or two of cynicism
in 1t. Any man who stands firm on
his own feet laughs at the pretty,
plausible lies which sentimental sages
offer to him daintily upon a gilded
salver A fine boys attitude toward
love is similar. He knows that he is
soft when he gets dead stuck on
a girl, and later. if disillusioned, he is
honest enough to confess without put
ting on airs that he is "soured."
This is the attitude of a philosopher
who mentally takes note of a mirrors
silvered back when gazing upon its
shining face. This was the cynicism
of that Maine school boy who, after
reading in the Aeneid of the Cartha
nian queens futile death upon the fu-
neral pyre, wrote on a slip of paper
for the delectation of the girls:
Pass 1t On.
