In Love With Love.

In the first place, children of that age
don't know their own minds. They arc
ID love with love, and think they are in
love with the boy or girl who at that
moment pleases them best In six
weeks, still in love with love, this
mushroom offspring of a romantic brain
il attached to some other person. In
deed, given opportunity and environ
men the object of ones undying love
when one is sixteen changes as rapidly
as the scene in a moving picture.
This love is serious while it lasts. 1t
takes time, is waste of emotion and is
fostered and encouraged when ones
judgment is hasty and immature
Therein the danger lies
Youth always swings too far. both
ways. One is uncontrollably happy, or
| dangerously depressed Love. never an
offspring of reason, behaves as if of in
sane parentage when those under its
sway are under sixteen
Time that should be spent In making
d valuable storehouse of The brain is
/ devoted to making that valuable part
/ of the anatomy lumber room filled
with useless odds and ends OF romance
| When one is sixteen, the brain is
strong and active and impressionabe
and lessons are easiest to master and
easiest to retain. 1t is a harvest time
and it is more than misfortune-it is
tragedy-if girls and boys at this pc
riod of their lives moon around like
half sick calves and think, sing ant
prate of love that will not live Longer
! than tomorrow.
