 Mabel came into my office the other day wearing an expression so down her last friend. And when I laugh she cried out desperately:
 i've lost something worse-my faith in myself
 My dear! This Is serious," I said Lets see what we can do to get it back"
 eve can't" she mourned, I'm a fckle, high strung, cheaply emotional girl, and that's all there is to it.'
 "Oh. no, there's more," insisted "rve known you for two years, and I've found you a fine, steady girl with deep feelings and strong control over them"-
 But that's just what I've lost" she interrupted. I'm cheap that's what I am."
 Then the story came out. Mabel ii appears, has found her true love. He's fine young fellow, who is mak- ing his way in the world, and making it fast. But for the next year he can and so he and Mabel decided not to
  on working, each at his own profes- sion, and to wait until things were in a more propitious state for foundin g the new firm.
 And Mabel, loving him with all her heart, finds that out of the exuberance of her feelings she is likely to smile at this man and to pat that one on the shoulder when he does something she likes.
 Now Tommy is not only reserved, but a bit inclined to jealousy. And when Mabel goes about bubbling and effervescing she knows that she is hurting the one who is dearer to her than all the rest of the world But she Is so happy that she cannot help expressing some of her feelings. And meaning nothing more than good will to all men. she puts into words and looks and deeds some of her deep con- tent with life. Her emotionalisn runs away with her. And she feels as if she were belittiing her love.
 I'd agree with her if she flirted with this man and that-led each man she met on to a show of interest in her or tried to fan the flame of Tomny's devotion by proving to him that her charm is felt by others than himself. But she doesn't.
 Mabel merely lets off steam!
 She cannot express openly and sim ply all she feels for her own boy. So she is tender to old women and gen tie to babies and generous to her girl perhaps little too frankly friendly for good taste with the men who cross her path. But her love for Tommy is simply flooding over everywhere-and the minute Ma bel realized that she didn't lint her to her dealings with men she felt better about it.
 Tommy hasn't been heard from Let's hope he isn't like the girl who to me that the man she adores is too polite to her friends After all, the big love between two is sacred It doesn't want to subject it. self to gossip and conjecture. And when it cannot be announced to the world it doesn't want to hint of itself in public tenderness.
 So the next time the one you loves takes you 10 a party and isn't so de- voted to you that the whole world can guess your secret, just bear with him or her. All he feels for you-and for your sake must not make too obvious may express itself in what you can call philandering or flirting if you are not broadminded and understanding. And if you want to you can build quarrel with your sweetheart cut of nofhtng.
