Filtration: The Vacation Spirit
of Love!
That's all it is. And that's why
the thermometer affects it so no
toriously.
Cupid sheds his responsibilities
with the summer rise in temper
ature. He goes on with his old
game, but he plays so carelessly
that he even conceals its goal His
sport in winter leads definitely to-
ward matrimony. But in the dog
days-WHITHER?
This question should worry the
vacation crowd. Only it doesn't,
always; or when 1t does. 1t wor-
ries only one party to a filtration;
and one isn't enough for we'd
ding march.
Now the essence of ROMANCE
is that love shall never end. The
essence of FLIRTATION is that
loves end is plain from the begin
ming. And the essence of truth Is
that the mercury has only to
jump up ten degrees to turn the
FIRST into the SECOND!
As heat changes ice to water;
ard as a little more heat vapor-
ICES water and dissipates it in
cloud, so does hot weather cause
all ideals of the permanence of
sentiment to vanish in thin
dream-clouds of Irritation.
Thus all summer love-making
becomes transient pastime.
Easter and June weddings follow
Cupid's winter season by the
thousand, but only by the hum
dred can be numbered the brides
who choose autumn leaves to
shape their wedding bells.
OF course flirtations go on
through all the year, but every
girl knows that the winter variety
MAY lead SOMEWHERE Just az
every man knows that the sum-
mer brand leads NOWHERE!
There are little girls who fancy
that their speciality in precious
love. the like of which, they are
sure, has never before existed,
Except in the movies), is sure to
draw a stable diamond in its first
summer season.

A Sensible and Hopeful
Outlook.

Dear Miss Grey: In every
paper and magazine we read
about the present style of
woman's dress-either for,
or against. Some rave and
think our country will be
ruined by the immodest dress
of its women. / don't think
so. l take particular pains
to notice on the down town
streets and the cars, and for
every ONE. woman who Is
dressed immodestly there are
about TWENTY-FIVE who
are dressed neatly and in
conspicuously.
The world has always been
raving at woman's dress,
and while she does many
foolish things in the name of
fashion, she is always, I'M
consciously, trying to i'm
prove. Do you not think /
am correct? MRS. M.
A. 1 agree with you. What
pity the men who rave do N,
notice the sensible girls NOR
They would not be so apt to 81
The others il they did, and n
iesk would not be piled with lie
.ers asking where to meet a SCI
'ible, self-respectiDg girl. III
,ity is full Of them.

But the experienced know that
there is no call for diamonds I'm
the souvenir shops of summer re-
sorts. Trust the thermometer to
put an end to any serious purpose
in man!
Meanwhile nobody doubts that
love is the most serious business
of everybody's life. But is there
not a vacatit n time In every well
ordered business?
So why regret when Cupid goes
mentioning?
We are all supposed to come
back to our homes and business
much benefited by vacation EX-
PERIENCES, travel and sport.
We play our tennis, golf or ball,
paddle a canoe or dive from a
spring board. and expect to turn
1t all to the good.
And We treat our favorite
game, the universal game of
FLIRTING just the same way.
And the honest among us boast
that summer sentiment also has
its profit.
Ambition thrives upon a smile
though 1t be fleeing! And there
is inspiration even In a sigh!
But naturally some humans get
nothing at all out of a filtration.
We flirt differently because
high temperature effects us in diff
ferent ways. Some lose because
they find only calm and cynical
pleasure in pretending what they
do not feel.
Some gain because they fool
themselves into q temporary en-
thusiasm over their own sincerity.
This is as wholesome as the ire
mepdous perspiration which fol-
lows a race. And after vacation
comes the good plunge into the
cold bath OF common sense!
But sometimes the heat makes
people quite crazy. Such take
the weather much too seriously.
They cannot distinguish between
filtration and real romance. They
head straight for the marriage IL

MRS. MARTHA RUPP.


Oh, what q bust-up in the
Rupp family!
Suffrage did it. $50 Rupp
says.)
Suffrage had nothing to do
with it. $50 Mrs. Rupp alleges.)
1t was like this.
Mrs. Rupp was making a
speech about suffrage at the cor
ner of Pitkin and Pennsylvania
avs, New York city. She had a
big crowd around, she was going
strong. and the cause was getting
swell boost.
Right to the front of the
throng, a small, mussy-looking
man pushed his way. He brand
ished his right arm at the orator,
and he yelled at her:
'Hey! Come home and cook
my supper! Hey! How about put
tin the kids to bed?"
1t was Rupp, Husband Rupp,
trying to spoil Wife Rupp's
speech.
And he did 1t. She climbed
down off her soap box and
started for home.
Rupp trailed after her. So did
mob Of urchins, who yelled
ieeringly at Mrs. Rupp. Mrs.
Rupp stood it for a few blocks.
Then she called cop.
ARREST this man. He is an
noying me-" she demanded.
do you know him?" queried
the cop.
Sure l do. He's my husband"
So Rupp went to Jail, and in
the morning he came up before
Magistrate Mcguire, who told
him he could obtain a suspended
sentence only by promising never
to repeat the offense.
Never again. your honor!"
Rupp vowed.

A. As you have never had any
trouble with the method you have
so far used I see no reason why
YOU should change at some foolish
girls suggestion. As to losing
out, your neighborhoOd isn't the
whole world, and should the girls
of 1t be as foolish as the one who

Select them for friends and let
the Others alone.
Dear Miss Grey: After hav-
ing a dispute with a friend
We write to you to settle the
question, which is this:
What is the proper thing to

young lady? We have heard
SO many different remarks
made that we cannot decide.

to set remarks to make on stated
