is LOVE NECESSARY?

Each on our own strict line we move,
And some find death ere they find love;
So far apart their lives are thrown
From the twin soul that halves their own.
And sometimes, by still harder fate,
Those who could love meet-but too late.
What might have been! True, ali true,
Forget-but why regret? Adieu, Adieu!
Thousands of letters reach me annu-
ally asking me why l have given up
weaving novels for the lesser work of
writing these articles on heart topics
and love, which hold but a small por-
ton of the great worlds absorbing in
terest. To such / make answer: 1t
was the original intention to write but
a short series of these articles, chang
ing to a range of other subjects, but
upon their appearance in print so
great was the avalanche of letters
which poured in upon me from all
parts of the world asking advice up
on some vital question concerning love,
found 1 had unwittingly touched a
hidden spring to which some member
in every home, in every cline the
world over, eagerly responded. | found
myself drawn into q whirlpool from
which l could not extricate myself.
Now we reach the crucial point: Is
love the dominating influence of life or
can the absence of it bring discomfort,
even unhappiness? l am particularly
qualified to pass upon that question
for the reason of the insight which
has been affOSded me into this most
profound of all human studies.
Frankly, 1, too, at the beginning was
firm In the belief that articles written
on love might be construed as mushy
and of interest to only certain class.
That was a grave mistake. l found 1t
TO be the worlds most powerful factor,
dominating all other interests and in
fiuences. 1t came alike to the rich and
the poor. The rich encountered Few
