Considerable sand had been washed
down the gutter and street from the

tried a shovelful in a miners pan
He quickly found colors, and In a
short time any number OF business
men and others were hard at work
with all kinds OF pans and utensils,
washing the dirt in a tiny stream In

WHY DID ADAM LOVE EVE?

Why DO you love that girl instead of other grlo
Why don't you love her sister?
Why does she love you instead of loving your best
friend7 Your best friend is fine fellow. He has as
many good qualities as you have; maybe He is
really worthy of her love than you are But she
loves you and she doesn't love him.
As for her, you feel that she is the pretes the dear
est and the most sensible in the whole world OF
all the girls You know, she would make the most ideal
wife
This is either true or not true
If it is true, why doesn't your friend think the same
you do? How is it possible that he should think some
other girl superior to yours?
Perhaps it's matter Of Judgment. Perhaps it's be-
cause and your girl Tor your wife) wiser than
other people are Can you explain it by saying 'rhey
would feel just the feel if they only knew as
much as we knew about each other
1t isn't the the result of similar tastes. Men who like
music often marry girls who don't know the difference be-
tween bass fiddle and ocarna Girls with domestic
tastes select who haven't spent evening at home
since they put long trousers. Think of the happy
ried couples where the man likes books and the girl
doesn't where she is thrifty and he Inclined to be waste
full where she likes music and he hates it, 1t isn't taste
Is it growth of sentiment, them Does the decide
that this girl would make pretty good wife, and then
teach himself to shut his eyes the charms of every 9TH
woman!
Or is it the result of assocation-tha this particular
man and this particular girl were thrown together and
love just happened9
This is only turn of an old question; not ''What
is Love?" but ''Why is Love-
Why did Adam love Eve? Because there wasn't any
body else around? Was Adam obliged to love somebody
something. and did he take Eve because she all
he could find except the serpent and the apple tree?
Once more why is love?''
We not going to answer this We could answer it,
of course, if necessary People who write editorials
always have to be able to everything If they
not, they lose their jobs.
But should like to have you it.
You love somebody What makes you?
Have you got any business loving if you don't know
why9

and politics for little while. Get out your intellectual
probe and go down into your heart and if You can
