LOVE AND MARRIAGE
ALWAYS A FRUITFUL SUBJECT
FOR DISCUSSION.
II Has Been Said That Almost Any
Woman Can Ensnare the Man She
Chooses II She Uses Power
She Possesses.

She Possesses.
The various methods employed for
the captivating and ultimate perma-
nent capturing of mere mankind have
been a fruitful subject for discussion
this many a day. The seasons new
books are full of 1t. ANY woman can
have any man she likes II she pursues
him vigorously enough, or eludes him
either does" says Doris Edgerton
Jones in Time o. Day. There are two
ways for a woman to get what she
wants. Either chase 1t for all she is
worth or run from 1t in the same
manner. 1t depends on the man.
Most decidedly it depends on the
man, says Ellen Adair. The average
man detests being openly and obvi-
ously run after. For assuredly 1t
brings upon his head the ridicule OF
his fellow men and the scorn of his
feminine acquaintances. The whole
point Is in the manner of the running
after. and in the varying degrees of
diplomacy which accompany the pur-
suit. Once let man see that he is
being boldly chased-then farewell,
farewell to rosy hopes Of matrimony.
According to Thackeray, any wom-
an with fair opportunities and not
actually hump can marry whom she
pleases-but he adds that 1t is mercy
that the little dears are like the
beasts of the field and do not know
their own power! The articles used
by the weaker sex for the capturing Of
the male creature fall desperately
wide of the mark through their own
ignorance of the nature of the species.
It Is pathetic to note the misplaced
energy which is doomed to meet with
no reward.
Faint, Yet Pursuing" is their
leave to follow to the bitter end, alone
and unattached. And all because a
lack of diplomacy is there. These
women cannot and will not understand
the masculine mind and the masculine
point of view-and until they do so
they need never hope to be successful
in the great adventure.

| venture. It is at the same time the
most entertaining and most satisfying
thing in the world. To quote recent
novel. Love is good for anyone. It's
the most educating thing in the world
| II could, should insist on everyone
falling in love at least three times un
der thirty. We should have n lot OF
less stupidity and mistakes in the
world. Why, you learn diplomacy, tact
sympathy, how to be really happy
for the time. anyway.
Just the being with someone whom
you love and know loves you, gives 9
feeling of rest and comfort"
The writer's of these pleasing pieces
OF information ignore the reverse side
of the picture and pass over all the
chances that the man or woman In
love takes.
One writer declares: ITO meet you
true mate-that is luck; to recognize
him when you meet him-that is in
spiration; to be able to win him wher
you've recognized him-that is art
and to keep him when you've won hin
some people say that's miracle"
Il would appear, then, that accord
ing to the opinion of the last-named
the matter of love is fraught will
strange difficulties and obstacles.
Be that as it may, there's nothinl
half so sweet in life as loves younl
dream. And though 1t may only las
a short time, on the other hand 1t ma!
endure as long as life lasts-and any
how, the game is more than worth tn
proverbial candle.-Philadelphia Eve
