of the unit, its complexion, It's value, de-
termines what will be the quality, CON-
plexion and the value of the sum total
that the units sum up into. We must
get as closely as possible to fundamental
facts and not let ourselves be deceived
by the casual aspect OF things.
The principle We are contending for
here admits of a variety OF applications.
We call ourselves an intelligent and re-
fined community. We think 80 because
our associations happen TO be with I'm
telligent and refined people. Being such
ourselves our fellowships are naturally
with those OF the same order. As perhaps
our understanding of the community does
not extend beyond the close circle OF our
intimates. we generaliEe, and predict OF
! those whom we know nothing about the
same qualities that we find in those we
are acquainted with. and the consequence
is that the general public wears to our
regard the aspect OF culture and elegance.
Unfortunately there Is no such thing a.
a general condition of refinement. The
only refinement there Is is what IL en-
bodied in a certain number Of refined in.

The Light that Defies

Ey BEATRICE FAIRFAX.

No great victory has ever been won
without enthusiasm. The defenders OF a
citadel need only determination and stub.
bornness to enable them to hold their
position. But TO take the offensive and TO
storm any fortress needs the white heat
of supreme enthusiasm.
Tho force OF enthusiastic nope and en-
thusiastic endeavor has saved many n
/ lost cause. Depression sinks away before
the force OF bright eyed desire to be up
and doing. How many OF us enthuse
quickly about each now opportunity that
touches our horizon. But tho cold winds
OF waiting may chill our first ardor and
the frost OF no results may even destroy
t. But II II only counterfeit enthusiasm
that 10 easily perlshes. The genuine
feeling endures in the face OF hardship
and the slow accomplishment and con-
quers by force Of Eestfui determination

Youth, In it's first flush OF proud con-
sciousness, IL likely 20 think II can con-
quer the world. But the enthusiasm that

which endures 70 the very end Of life's
disappointments and transcends them ALL

we rarely find the greatest oharacteris-

we do not encounter or hear OF selfish

suited directly from inherited wealth.

The Lore Time of Life
How Science Interprets the whims
of Cupid and What Facts Show

( when most men begin to go back to a
second emotional childhood, the love line
of man curves down instead OF up
ward.
Girls are sentimental from the cradle
up, but 1t is a surface sentimentality.
and there Is, in reality, no other living
creature that is so hard and selfish as
soft and innocent looking little maiden
of Is From Is TO % the only person a
girl really loves is herself. All others.
male and female, occupy a place in her
affections that is nicely adjusted to
what they do for her and how much
they add to her pleasures. She calls this
love when 1t is applied TO a person of
the masculine persuasion. but it isn't real
love any more than the ball room is real
life
1t is during this time that girl not
infrequently deceives herself and mar
ries man under the impression she Is
in 'ove with him, when it's just because
she liked the way he combed his hair or
turkey trotted or the good times he gave
her How ephemeral is this early love
Is shown by the way It vanishes after
marriage, when the little bride finds
AaSo W ldCt WIFI the stern
reality OF matrimony Nine-tenths of the
divorce cases are after-claps of youthful
marriages.
From % to 20 women begin to think
more seriously about love- but they also
begin to be critical They put their door
on the latch for Cupid. but they are
looking out of the window to see IL he
wears good coat, and drives up In a
taxi instead OF coming wandering in on
foot and without a rag to his back. In
word, they want to love and marry.
but they prefer to fall in love with an
eligible party.
This may be called the rational age Of
love. There are not many thrills 10 n
but It is an eminently sane and safe af-
fection, and comfortable TO live with
because the woman who Is only mod
erately in love neither asks too much
or her husband In the way OF affection
nor bestows too much upon him.
From 30 to IS is the panic time of n
woman's life when she percelyes that all
OF her friends are married. or have
espoused careers, and that debutantes
are beginning TO look uDon her I'm the
light of the ancient mariner. and that
the last call for the dining car Is ring
ing for her. Then It is that a woman
marries any man that asks her; without
reference to her own heart, and repents
Il ever after.
The fatal age OF love for woman comes
at 20. and this is true no matter whether
she is single or married. Then n ia
that all the pleasures and amusements
with which a woman has diverted herself
pail upon her, and life grows suddenly
stale and flat. She Is obsessed by lone
illness by heart hunger and she thirsts
for affection
IL is the last tropical flare I'D OF IN.
summer OF life for woman before the
cold winter Of age sets in. and under It's
influence she does strange and unexpected
things. 1t is the woman Of 40 who mar
rles boy young enough to be her son.
; or elopes with her chauffeur, or gets
entangled in some aisgraceful intrigue.
And it's LIES little irony that at the
time woman loves most herself she Is
least capable Of inspiring love in man.
