Others centre upon Light, under whose
benign guidance the hero grows in wis

Those who have seen ~The Be
trothal' will remember that the lad
Iyltyl-who typihes Youths sent on
Journey in search of the one true
love Of his life He is warned that
there is in the world one, and only
one true mate for him, and that he
must find her or he will never be truly
happy And be is told that he cannot
make this choice alone; that he can
choose Alright only by the advice of
those mysterious beings who live in
the past and the future, and whose
representative on earth he il; namely.
ms Ancestors and his Children. They
are alive IN him, and they demand a
voice in decision which concerns
them all. But the youthful TvltyI is
amazed to hear that the choice Of his
true mate is so complex a matter. Like
most boys of seventeen, he believes ne
has fallen i'll love quite satisfactorily
already. Indeed, he feels he would he
perfectly content with any ono of the
six maidens who live near him in the
forest. And SO he assemblies all these
pretty girls and takes them all with
him on his journey
The quest leads him to many strange
places, but in the land where his An
cestors abide he learns that none of
these sWeethcarts is his true mate
Aud IN the land where his Children
are waiting to be born he catches lust
one uncertain and fleeing glimpse Of
another maid whom his heart instantly
warns him is the true beloved. How
he comes to find her in reality is the
story of the play and need not be
told here.
1t seems to me that this lovely al
legory of youths search for love is
based on the instructive belief that
exists in all young hearts that there
lis orc, and only one, predestined true
love waiting somewhere in the world
FOR them, and that an important part
eff their business IN this new life is
to find it. The conviction dims with
age. alas! but every man remembers
that at least ono boy possessed il. ana
every woman knows it exists in every

Paris, May 2.-Italian representa-
tives remaining in Paris were circulat-
ing reports today that their peace
delegates will not return to Paris un-
less they are specifically invited by
the other allies.
According to information from au-
thoritative sources it is doubtful that
such an invitation will be extended, al
though some quiet" efforts may be
made to induce the Italians to come
to Paris to participate in signing the
peace treaty with Germany.
The claim is made by Italians here
that the pact of London prevents any
peace being signed without them.
When this theory was advanced dur
ing the conference which preceded
the Italian withdrawal it was pointed
out that the provision of the pact pre-
venting a separate peace could be in
terpreted as recognizabl only so long
as Germany continued a military mem
ace and abrogated that particular Sec
ton of the secret treaty.
