New-York tribune., 1919-05-21

Dear Sir: AS per request | have analyZed the
story in the Satevepost of May 10, entitled
ROMANCE. and herewith submit report.
The story is short, comprising only
columns, including illustration 1t Is about
simple minded youth in love with matter
of-fact girl, the apparent theme being that in
every love affair, however prosac 1t may seem
to the outsider land even to the girl), the lover
finds Romance
annex the two lists of words A and B, from
which l deduce the following:
The author, shown by his preferences In
vocabulary (A). which is far from the ordinary
requisites of love story is pugnacous in dis
position. and has suffered much. He is probably
Irishnan. He is Jealous OF all rivals and
easily aroused to anger. He is. however, some
what ashamed of such fits of temper.
lie is, as shown in B, nethodica fond of
figures and is probably bookkeeper banker,
and is exceedingly prompt in his appointments
and in paying his debts He is apt, in the
middle of conversation, TO pull out foun-
tain pen and figure out costs on the back of
old envelope. lie is wrong.
Yours truly
