BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX.

The universal longing for love is re-
sponsible for more misfit matrimonial
mates than anything else in this love-Ht
old world.
A man loves love A woman is the
embodiment of that sentiment to him,
and. loving love and wanting it, he thinks
he loves the first woman who attracts
him.
A woman knows that when love comes
to her some man will bring the message,
and she mistakes every advance courier
on the road for her prince, often, in the
exuberance Of her longing and the natural
exaggeration OF youth. giving that long
ing for love TO two men at once.
When the confusion is confined to one
object. tragedy threatens, but when
man or woman loves" two at the same
time, II is cupids comedy. No one can
marry two persons at once, but one may
marry one and find out too late that
love for love and love for individual are
as far apart as the east and west coasts
OF the sea.
II one were to tell the writer OF the
following letter that she Is playing the
star part in cupid's comedy. she would
grow indignant. She has given that
which she mistakes for love 70 two men
at once, Those who have known this
divine passion knows that she doesn't
know what love means.

The Longing for Love

No other is soft I'm the rythm;
Unless you can feel, when left by one,
That all men else go with him;
Unless you can know, when appraised by
his breath,
That your beauty itself wants proving
Unless you can swear. For life, for
DEATH"
Oh. fear to call it loving.
That is loving-a love for the indi-
vidual that will survive sorrow, and suf-
fering, and penury. and abuse, and indif-
ference, and pain, and even time. 1t Is
not love for love. a sentiment that is
satisfied with every new object upon
which 1t can fasten. 1t is not n feeling
that knows a moments hesitation or
doubt
one never loves two. II is too engross-
ing, too painful, too Joyous, too all-satis-
flying and too complete, to love more
than one. There never was, there never
is, there never will be a love for two.
