How Is all this wailing to be

Whenever a woman thinks that life
is defrauding her Of the wonderful
love Of which she is worthy, 1t is time
for her TO ask herself what she herself
means by love and what she demands
of love.
II she is being cheated, IL is often
because in her great eagerness TO
grasp at any love. she has not stopped
to distinguish between dross and gold:

BY WINNIE WILCOX.

Is It chance or is it a law Of COM
pensation, that the choicest word in
the language should be the most
abused?
Love is the word. To It cling the
most sacred. the most olevating, the
most inspirational and the sweetest Of
human experience; hut TO Il cling also
the greatest OF life's tragedies. its
coarsest comedy. and its worst vul-
garity.
ct love you" sings the mother to
81 love yon," whispers the girl to
the man she adores.
But the same words are used by the
girl who marries an old man for his
money, and by the man who pays
where no love Is.
Everybody uses the word every day
-carelessly sincerely. or cynically.
according TO his own mood or TO SUIT
his own gain. For the flatterer and
the egoist the sensualist and the
idealist have but this one word for
emotions and desires as far apart as
heaven and hell.
Most Of the miseries OF woman
come to her through love.
Lately she has taken to crying
them aloud--in The playhouses, in
newspapers and magazines, in the
factory and in the college, in the
