Is close to 10000 900, only about 80, 900
of them will enjoy the higher educa-
ton which jeers at love. And out of
those same 10000, 900 women less
than 100000 will be self-supportfng
and in a position to look too critically
at the garb which love assumes.
Going more infinitely into the ques-
ton, you will find that while ten or
fifteen years ago. when the higher ed
ucatton of women was a fad, new and
therefore fascinating. class reunions
and reports of class secretaries went
to prove that college graduates mar
ried very late in life and that the av-.
erage in class was so per cent mar
ried and so per cent single few
years subsequent to their graduation
Today that average is considerably
lowered-in favor of marriage. and it
is considered good form to be engaged
though still in college.
Man may invent a flying machine
which will send the now popular and
ubiquitous automobile to the junk
heap Physicians and surgeons may

morning crouch. Inventors may util-
ize electricity in such practical fashion
that all other motive forces will be
discarded and forgotten. Tablets of
rich nutritive qualities and rare flavor
may eventually solve the servant girl
problem. But what can take the place
of love. the real, ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
wide brand of love, the sort our grand
mothers used to make?
And what sensation screated by the
cunningest inventor of them all can
replace the ecstatic effects of one soil
tary, prolonged kiss of the good old
common or garden variety that Cupid
planted in the Garden of Eden and
which has been yielding magnificent
crops ever since?
Natures Balances.
And if the much-educated girl hest
tates to yield to the opportunities of
love and delays marriage until she
reaches thirty, this condition is more
than balanced by the early marriages
among self-supporting girls. In manu-
featuring centers girls marry young,
because they go to work young If
the fad of the American girl today is
a taste of independence or a career,
it does not seem to take her very
long to exhaust the pleasurable SEN
sation. The mill girl goes to work
early and marries early. The college
marries later. That is the only diff
ference between the two types. Both
marry almost as soon as they've
learned that independence, like the
| post card task of being good" is
such lonely job!
''Lovesickness," as disease, makes
| trouble for physicians. They consider
it seriously in conventions assembled
and DR.. A r. Hagle, a Chicago ply
stefan, says that it can be cured only
through mental suggestion. Now you
do not see physicians discussing dis
eases which do not exist and there
fore do not represent fees, do you ?
! And if there is such thing as love
sickness in quantities large enough to
cause medical discussion, what a lot
of love must be lying around loose,
Science recognizes the presence of
love in our midst and spends thou
sands trying to invent love tests, de-
spite the fact that matrimony is the
| only sure fire test.
DIR. Lightner Wilmer, chief of the

versity of Pennsylvania can tell you
whether you love May Brown or Susie

and your thought waves and your red

the right girl is mentioned.

This machine is called the phthys-

graph Neither machine has yet found

Moreover, though a machine may be

number of apple seeds you find in a
