LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT.

LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT.
The easiest way to fall in love is to
fall in love at first sight.
1t is the natural way; it is the most
beautiful way; it is the way Dante set
about it, And what was good enough
for Dante ought to be good enough for
you. says a writer in the Bystander.
Look how many people do it!
Look at the number of young men who
tlocls to the theater- and fall in love i'm
mejiutcly with Maudc. or Birdie. on
Elalmette
Directly that girl show, her twinklng
feet in the back row of the chorus, Au-
Ignstus' heart goes pitapat, and he knows
thai he has found his doom he cali, il
his tate. And when her ruby lips open
and show her pearly teeth he begins to
wonder how his father will take the news.
He searches down Rhc programme in
order to identify her But She is only
one though the most beautifully Of the
ten Gibson girls. or one though the most
lelcgdnt. of the twelve daughters of the
Duchess of Marylebone. They all have
beautiful names, Trixia and Babs and
| Camille. but he knows nstnctiveiy that.
when he does learn it, his little girls will
be the sweetest of them all.
| This is a case of love at first sight.
Her face, her sparkling eyes. her
peaches and cream complexion are burnt
into his brain. In the watches of the
night he will see naught but her. lie
| goes down to the stage door to see her
come forth.
First come the orchestra, then the
scene shutters, then the actors, and then
the women. Chattering and laughing
they come, and he looks under each hat
| for that never to-be forgotten face. The
stream of women thins. and at last he
sees from the pavement the stage-door
! keeper close his rabbit hutch; the lights
are put out. the stage door closes, and
the weary old man, mutterino to him
self crawls off toward the running
footman"
Then it is that Augustus realizes that
he does not know his loye-at first sight
by sight.
This is a terrible awakening
And yet even the sanest man who
falls in love at first sight does not show
very much more intelligence than is eX-
hibited by Augustus.
You may be introduced TO the Lady
Angela McQuisker at the dear Ouch
ess'. You being, let us assume. a peer
of the realm, are in position to marry
the lady. You. therefore. are perfectly
justified in telling your love
You know nothing about her. except
( that she j. beautiful OF her intellect,
L.
mere fact that it should beat for you
will prove. at any rate, that she is not
a girl of sound Judgment. THAT is. il
viii prove it to any one else, but it won't
prove it to you.j
If you heard that a girl had fallen in
love at her first meeting with your bosom
/ friend. Lord Robert with your highly
esteemed executor. Mr.. Lumley Fresh
/ field. would you not consider that hers
was rash and probably ill.omened act?
4 Why, it took you years before you
/ found out that YOU could coniide your
/ innermost thoughts to Lord Robert! You
made diligent inquiries before appoint
ing Mr.. Lumlcy Freshfeld to the proud
position OF your executor. And vet n
mere girl. with nc knowledge Of the
world, decides on the spur Of the moment
+ to spend the rest Of her natural life with
one Of these two gentlemen, Absurd.
/ OF course. YOU will justify your love
ia first sight by using the word in
stinct."
The miracle Of love is upon you. and
what should have been the work If, at
the very least. couple OF dances and
q theater party has in your case been
accomplished in a lightning fash.
! You think it would be almost ireiI
gious in you to seek the advice Of amy
one on the suitability of your pro-peo
tive bride.
And you are quite right. because D.,
man whose advice is worth taking VIII
ever believe that YOU viii take it,
+ So there is no bother ard no fuss: H1
weighing of character; no consideration

/ That Is tie secret Of love al first sight
! 1t Is the easiest way Of falling IN love
/ Also. it il the cheapest.
/ In addition. it is the most disastrous.
