it is fallow ground for the germs of
other feelings.
When a man and woman enjoy
each others society, respect each
others opinions, are satisfied with
the stimulation which being to-
gether brings they have no more
than splendid friendship. They
are in the state Of liking each other
And that state may remain static
for years or forever. But it is full of
potentialities. 1t has kinetic energy.
Love worth having must be based
on liking. Emotion worth possess
ing must have the background of
respectful friendship. The fusing of
flesh where there is no call of spirit
is debasing and can't last.
Love is friendship. That means
love is congenially and respect and
interest and liking and regard and
courtesy and kindness.
But love is friendship-plus.
The affection deepens beyond
liking to desire. The congeniality
grows to a feeling of interests
shared, and multiplied a thousand
fold in value because shared. The
respects deepens to reverence. The
courtesy to tenderness. And the
kindness to 4 protective passion
that would suffer rather than give
suffering.
Love is the beautiful trinity of
spirit and mind and body. And
never-unless the heart, hold all
three and reverences all three feel
ings-haS true love come to abide.

TALKS BY
BEATRICE FAIRFAX

am going about with young
man and all our recent talks have
! been on the one subject, What is
love" My idea is that il a man and
woman go about with each other
fand feel happy when together, and
| take pride in each others company,
and then on leaving one another are
anxiously waiting the next meeting.
then they are in love. My friend,
| however, insists that love is surely
of another nature"
This letter in to-day's mail ex-
presses a question 1 am asked over
and over every day and every week
and every year. Why not? This is
one of life's biggest problems. It's
one of the things hardest to answer,
most difficult to measure and define,
and yet it is the great crux of much
of human happiness.
Love which is genuine and true is
| the feeling that can be trusted to
| illumine all, of life. Romance is the
great dream of the human soul. We
all long not only for romance but
for the Great Romance-the ro-
nance and mystery clad joy that
comes from the One Great Love. We
reach for it and miss it. We are
given it by the kindly fates and de-
stroy it. We have it, perhaps, and
never know it.
And one of our biggest human
problems lies in the question, What
is love?" and it's corollary, How
are We going to know it when we
have it?"
There are a great many people to
whom love is nothing more than
physical attraction-the magnetic
leaping of some force from eye to
eye-the biological pull between
man and woman.
Love to others is a sublimated
friendship of the mind.
Some fancy that love is tenderness
and devotion.
Real love, however lis all of these
and more.
Life isn't built on floor plan of
water-tight compartments.
You can't shut off friendship
from love and liking from loving.
There aren't walls between the var
ious human emotions.
Do you remember the childish
game of "cancelling names?" We
used to tell fortunes by bracketing
our name with that of the boy we
liked, and after striking out the
letters they had in common we said
ritual or revelation over the let
ters that remained. AS I remem-
ber, it went: Friendship, hatred,
love, indifference, marriage"
What a silly game it seems! Yet
how much joy we got out of a
kindly verdict that said Reginald
loved us and we were his friend. OF
course as we grow up, all of us dis
card the absurd game. But we
carry on with us into life, the alb
surd attitude that divides off states
of feeling from each other and
doesn't see how all feeling merges
into what has gone before and what
comes after.
There isn't wall between friend
ship and love. Some one has wisely
said that friendship is love without
flowers and VEIL.
That's true.
A deep, splendid satisfying
friendship between man and woman
is perfectly possible. 1t may remain
friendship and nothing more to the
end of time. But it holds the germ
of other feelings. Or perhaps we
might more conservatively say that

"Thats about the last thing you
thought I'd do, wasn't it?" asked
Val, after telling me that she
wanted Jim to try to reach Lane
by long distance.
Then she collapsed. She went off
into a long faint, which was almost
a coma and didn't come out OF IL
until long after Jim and Pat had
carried her up to the guest room,
and Jeanie and Bertha and l had
undressed her and had laid her 1n
the big four-poster.
The doctor said it was shock,
wrote prescriptions galore, ordered
an ice bag and digatalis for her
heart and left orders with the nurse
that no one disturb his patient. But
scarcely were we through the
breakfast which had been so long
delayed as to become breakfast

information that Mrs. Cosby insisted
on seeing me.

I replied, trembling with fear of the
effect my words might have.

me inscrutably. HE was gone when
we got to them down there by the
river. He. died in Evelyn Mason's
arms. He was speaking to her
when he died. 1 wonder-I wonder
what he told her?"
Her voice trailed off, and my as

of his going-as if a pet poodle had
gone. You don't seem to care.
Sheldon's dead. 1 thought when
Envy took him home that he'd come
out of his swoon and the doctors
could bring him back. But he's
dead"
HE died in her arms" repeated
Val. HE died speaking to Envy
Mason. I've had plenty of time to
get used to that idea. What's
death? Nothing. It's living that's
hard sometimes. Living when
fled, always wanting to conquer
and to go on-on to what you
haven't got. But what's the use
you wouldn't understand"
"I don't" I replied, but wouldn't
you be happier if you eXplained?"
II wonder what Envy Mason's
going to do?" replied Val, ignoring
what I'd said. II wonder"
She stared at me for a moment as

Then she laughed oddly.

to-day you think-no, on the whole
1 won't say what you think. But
you're wrong. You're always wrong

utter the word. you're getting
yourself wrought up to a fever.
You mustn't see jim"
"Send him, please" said Val, and
so saying she turned in the big bed
so that onl va shaking shoulder was
revealed to me.
You must be quiet" protested.
I'll come back and let you know
as soon as Jim reaches Lane"
There was a knock at the door
just then and Jim's voice sounded
through the panels:
May 1 come in? I've a message" :"
Let him in," said Val in a voice
that seemed to hold either stifled
laughter or muffled tears. Il won't
vamp him."
Then she pulled back the covers
and revealed a face distorted by
pain, with burnt-out embers for
eyes and ashes for lips.
"Jim's safe with me-" she NUT
tered. Anyone would be. I'll
never play with fire again so long
as l live. But l must talk to a
mana man like Jim-before I see
Lane. Oh, Anne, if you want to

out what she means to do. She
hated me enough before. l wonder
if she'll make dead man pay for
that? Now let Jim come in, please.

Advice to the Lovelorn
TELL HIM THE TRUTH
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

have been going out with a young
man for few months. He is very
ginning to realize that 1 do not love
him. 1 do not know how I can show
him that I do not care for him, as l
gave him encouragement. Please ad-
wise me what course to pursue.
Tell the young man the truth. That
is the only fair and honest thing to
do. Pursue this course in fairness to
yourself and to the young man you
want to spare as much as possible.
Don't keep him dangling until you
find some one you like better. telling
yourself all the while that you do this
to save him. A quick, honest pain is
endurable. Treachery isn't.

WHY THE HIGH SCHOOL?

Education consists essentially of two elements,
a trained mind and an accumulation of ideas. Our
public schools from the first grades through the
high school should be designed chiefly to train the
mind, and while college work does this also, the
accumulation of ideas becomes important
work in a collegiate course. In our age Of books,
periodicals and newspapers, ideas crowd in on us
from all sides, but all of this is of no avail unless
our minds are capable of dgesting them and giving
proper weight and value to the information that
comes to hand 1t requires systematic mental drill
to enable one to think logically, clearly and ably.

THE EDGE BILL.

What is known the Edge bill to facilitate the
foreign trade Of the United States has passed both
houses of Congress and has gone to the President
for his signature This measure by an amend
ment of the Federal Reserve act, provides for the
incorporation of concerns to finance the export
business of the United States so that IMPOVERISHED
foreign customers may buy American goods and
the American producer or exporter can get actual
cash in payment for his commodities. Such cor
poration will be under the supervision of the Fed
eral Reserve Board, but there will be neither gov
ernn,ent participation nor underwriting nor guar
antee.
The object of this measure is commendable and
its limitations safe. 1t permits private parties
to organize corporations to loan funds to foreign in
stitutons customers for the purpose of purchas-
ing American goods on long time credit. 1t is not
compulsory but permissive. 1t aims to extend the
American banking system under the control of the
Federal Reserve Bank to all parts of the world
provided private parties are willing to organize a
banking corporation and extend credit to foreign
customers. The measure will permit discounting
of drafts and bills of ladng on long time credit,
giving foreign purchasers long period in which
to pay their bills and at the same time permit
American producers to obtain prompt credit for
such bills. This machinery will carry foreign pur-
cLasers without cripping American producers, it
is expected.-New York Herald.

Support Catholic Pres.
BISHOP McNIcHOLAS PLEADS
FOR THE CATHOLIC PRESS

Msgr. McNicholas, the new Bishop
of Duluth, in the first circular ad.
dressed to his clergy, says:
1T is a matter of regret that the
catholic press is not better supported,
and that Catholics of the United States
are not more interested, generally, in
the events of the Catholic world"
He ascribes this deplorable state of
affairs to the desire for the sensational
developed by the secular press, and
suggests as an antidote the placing of
Catholic papers in the higher grades
OF the parochial and in all classes of
the high schools. His idea is that
every teacher should devise some plan
OF eliciting interest in these papers,
either by asking for summary of
their contents once week or once q
month or by requiring an occasional
composition based on articles appear.
