The Oldest house in the U. S. is

LOVE MAlADY IS
 ONE IF HARDEST
Tragedy Comes Where Af- lection for Another Is Thwarted and Impulse
 Is Thrown Down
PROBLEM IS UNSOLVED

There Is a class of wordly-wise folk who affect to ridicuIe the bangs of hopeless love. It's nothing; it's a youthful malady, they say, and he'll get over it. I had 1t once or twice. Men have died and worms have eaten them, but not for love" l"
 But for all that it remains true that the bitterest of tragedies is where love is thwarted, where the finest, most generous human i'm pulse comes against an impossible barrier.
 It is a picture of the old problem in physics: What would happen if an irresistible force comes in con- tact with an immoyable obstruc- tion?"
 The fact is, too. that the nobler and more honorable the person the more suffering ensues. The purer and more loyal the heart the more agonizing the hear-break.
 Some talk as if lovers were to blame, as if love were a thing to be whistled up or casually dismiss ed at will. They do not know the human heart. Love is something that sweeps down upon us from the blue. We can resist 1t, smother it and flee from it, but we cannot con trol it's coming or going. It re- mains the superhuman fact of our humanity.
 Our civilization, with it's reforms. philosophies and religions. has solved and is solving many ques- tions. but it has not yet touched the most vital problem of society and of the individual. What shall we do with romantic affection7
