And this consciousness of the alb
sent lover doesn't wear off gradu-
ally" 1t becomes fercer and more
intense. 1t gives lovers extraordi-
nary experience. 1t drives them to
extraordinary actions. They cross
worlds to look upon each others
faces. They write poems that live
for centuries. They are quite likely
to be looked upon as madmen. And
all because they are in the driving
grasp of love. \
You will see from this that love
isn't pretty plaything, but a dis
turbing, tormenting force. "Inquis-
tive" would scarcely be the tranquil
and contented girl she is if she and
her excellent friend were truly in
love with each other. Some day she
will doubtless find this out for her
self And then perhaps she will
look back almost with envy upon the
present period Of serene companion
ship.
But they are the people who never
concern themselves as to whether
their love is real or merely cheerful
imitation. And it may be that for
them, as for most of US, something
less than the tumultous ecstacy of
real love is as much as can be man
aged.
For that's another test of real love,
by the way. It's not easily managed.
Indeed, unless you are generously
equipped with character and will, it
has most awkward way of manag-
ing you, instead.

Tests Of Real Love
Absence, separation and distance are not words in
the dictionary Of love; space and time
no longer exists for twain.

are not in love. Absence, separation,
distance-these are words that love
doesn't recognize.
The quiet, happy friendship that
"Inquisitive" describes lacks the
touch of magic that would convert
it into love.
For the most prosy, practical"
people in the world acquire a new
facility when they fall in love. They
develop imagination. While love
lasts, they are not only the subjects
of lovers wizardry, but they are
themselves wizards. Space and time.
light and darkness, autumn and
spring, no longer exist for them.
They live within a rainbow-colored
underworld of their own making,
and they don't clearly perceive any
other human beings except the
Chosen One.
The Chosen One, they are, how
ever, wildly conscious of, even if he
or she is a thousand miles away, and
remains there for months or years
at time. That is one of the magic
gifts of love.

By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.

How can one know whether ones
love is real?
What are the tests to which one
should subject oneself?
Being able to display many of the
most celebrated symptoms doesn't
prove by any means that these are
inspired by ones predestined other
self. 1t may be just case of being
lonely, or fattered or being sorry
for somebody. It's highly important
but sometimes far hom easy, to be
able to determine whether ones de-
liciously terrible malady is love or
= near love.
A 1o-year-old girl who wants help
in diagnosing her own case has writ
ten RE an uncommonly sincere and
interesting letter. She asks:
what is love? l know it is a
hard question to answer, but have
never been able to discover it. Some
times l think ! love one young man,
who is travelling salesman, but very
quiet, and after he is away for sever
al weeks, I don't miss him. Then
when he is home I wonder what is
wrong with me for I feel that l can
never let him go away again:
II suppose / am too young to
know what it is. But so many of my
girl friend are getting mawied now,
and there husbands leaving for over
there and how do they know what
love is on short acquaintance? l
have known this man for many years
and he says, too, that when he is
away the first couple weeks he miss
es me terribly. but it wears off grad
ually and then when he is home, he
doesn't see how he could go away
again. Is this the selfish part of
humanity, or is it So with every
one So.
To me it doesn't seem mysteri-
Gus case, that of this extremely nice
young girl and her quiet" lover.
They are more or less alike in tenn
perment. they are the best of friends,
and their friendship isn't marred by
misunderstanding or disagreement.
As to whether this is love or not,
| think Miss "Inquisitive", as she
calls herself, has already applied the
test.
Separation The Test.
There can't be a better test than
separation. And it's a test that the
love of these young people doesn't
stand. With the most friendly and
wholesome frankness they admit j,
to each other.
For a few weeks they are lonely
even painfully so. The pleasant hab-
its of companionship have been
interrupted, familiar friendly pres.
ence is lacking.
But as the days pass the gar
steadily closes. In . month each OIL
them is contented again. They DOM
even pretend to themselves that they
are miserable. They admit wonder.
ingly that at the end of this briei
period they don't suffer at all, ant
they would like to be told why it i.
that they can be so cheerful.
The reason is. of course. that the,

live back of the line under
Hun rule" wrote Miss Mona Cowell,
in describing the pitiful plight of
French repatries with whom she is
working in lie Puy, in the Haute
Loire district of France.
"The repatries are truly pathetic,
only allowed 80 kelos of baggage.
There are all sorts, poor, educated,
some almost hopeless, huddled to-
gether in a string of third-class car
riages. These are the people who
have lived for four years back OF

not say enough in praise of the Red
Cross and told tales of what we had
done for them before we got into
the war. Then of course it was
stopped and their lot was tragic
Now Germany sends back to
France all the old, the sick, and the
children, and they are placed, not
where they may want to go, but
where the government wants to
send them. Some places like Es-
paly prepare clean quarters and
have them all ready and furnished
to receive them.
Sunday we were awfully thrilled
because we heard that the kaiser
was suing for peace. Of course i,
did not turn out so, but it was Won

the refugee work saying that
one part of the convoy was going
to Yssingeaux and that no prepare

there. Unless we gave supplies, at
least 200 would be without stick

thing ready to be loaded into a
canton in the morning.

Oh for a Book!
20 for a book and a shady
nookH
You recollect the rhymes.
Written how many years ago
In placid happier times!
Today no shady hooks are ours,
With half the world at strife,
And dark ambition laying waste
The pleasant things of life;
But still the cry for books Is
heard,
For solace of the magic word.
20 for a book" the cry goes
forth,
20 for a book to read;
To soothe US in our WEAKNESS "
The laggard hours to speedp
From countless hospitals it
comes,
Where stricken soldiers lie,
Who gave their youth, who gave
their strength,
Lest Liberty should die.
How smallA favor to implore:
The books we've finished with
no more!
A book can have a thousand
lives,
With each new reader. one:
A book should have a thousand
lives
Before its course is run.
And we few kinder things can
do
Our gratitude to show,
Than give the freedom of our
shelves
To those that need it so.
Nor let them ask without avail
