HOW TO KEEP LOVE
BY DOROTHY DIX
The Worlds Highest Paid Woman

able commodity in the world? Why do
husbands and wives so soon fall out
Of love with each other?
when the average couple get mar
ried they are almost idiotically senti.
mental, yet In a few years-often in
q few months-they seem to cease to
cere for each other. They are bored,
indifferent, antagonistic, fighting like
kilkenny cats instead Of billing and
cooling like turtle doves as they did
on the hinder side Of the altar. Yet,
20 far as the outsider can see, there
IS no reason for the change in tenn
perature Of their affection. Both hus-
band and wife are just what they
were before marriage so far as per-
sonal charm goes; both are good, re-
spectacle people anxious to do their
duty.
what has killed their affection so
soon? And is there any known pre-
seryatiye In which romantic love may
be canned so that II will keep fresh
and sweet after the honeymoon"
Certainly, dear correspondent, there
Is a way TO keep love. Put 1t up In
incense. That is guaranteed recipe
that never fails.
Would you keep the fires Of al
lection forever alight in the breast
of husband or wife? Feed the flames
continually with words Of devote and
adulation.
Would you have your own love last
as long as life itself? Be sure the
voice that murmurs words OF praise
and affection in your ears VIII thrill
you as long as you have sense 10

Like . Foolish Youth =,
The trouble with most men and
women, when they realize that they
have won another's heart and have
been married for love, is that they,
are like q foolish youth who has come
into q fortune. They think that the
wealth Of affection that has been be-
slowed upon them is inexhaustible,
and they draw upon II and draw upon
II, and waste It with q prodigal hand
until by and by they suddenly dis.
cover that it il all used up and gone
and there Is no more love left.
II has not occurred to them in the
dayf of plenty to hoard their treas
IRE, much less to add 70 It. Yet II
a no more necessary to lay up some
money for the proyerbial rainy day
Of ones finances than II Is to lay up
love against the rainy day Of ones
physical and mental needs-the days
when ones youth has waned. and
ones charm Is lost, and one grows
dull and tedious in conversation.
Never was there q more mischiey-
Gus idea than that we all start out
An matrimony with fixed capital OF
love that can not be subtracted from
or increased. In nothing can you so
easily 90 broke as in affection, and
no stock can be more readily inflated
than Heart Preferred. In reality It
rests with each OF us whether we
bull or bear our own particular love
market, and whether we become mil
Iionares or bankrupts In affection.
Cupid Works on Credit
Cupid does business largerly on
credit, and Il Is no trick at all for
HIM to borrow enough romantic cap
Ital to start q young couple out In an
engagement. II is only after marriage |
that the question of how to make
Np the deficit resulting from the wear
and tear OF every day life and keep
he capital stock at par, becomes q
vital matter.
The only way It can be done is by
adding continually 10 the yisahle sup
NV of love IN the firm, and the mar !
vel Is that so few people do this.
No one expects 3 bridal trousseau
Is supply one with clothes for life
time. or wedding breakfast to suf-
flee for food for thirty or forty years,
hut the great mass Of mankind never
seem to dream that the vows of devo-
