As long as you think it all right for a girl to go on wild parties, and drink out of mems flasks, and skylark with the boys, and say and do risky things, you don't love her, even if you do like her tremendously and find her a good pal, and think that matrimony wouldn't be such a pill with a good sport wife like that.

Another test of real love is a mans attitude toward a girl. Men have two standards of conduct for women-a very liberal one for the women they care nothing about, and a very rigid one for the women they love.

Even men themselves appear to be unable to determine whether they are in love for keeps, or just pro tenn, as is witnessed by the fact that thousands of men diagnose their sentimental symptoms wrongly, and even to go to the extent of applying the drastic rem edy of marriage to what they believe to be lovesickness, only to find out that what they thought to be an un- dying affection was merely what our Christian Science friends call "an error of mortal mind," and that they did not have it after all.
 Whether there is no acid test that a man can apply to his emotions to find out whether they are real, genuine, blown-in-the-bottle kind of love that will keep uncorked for years, or whether it is only the made-overnight stuff that will grow flat and stale, and become unpalatable in a day, I do not know. But, at any rate, man is wise to try to get a line of 'his own heart before he takes the journey to the altar with any lady, for divorces are messy things and alimony is hard money to pay. And nothing gets more on your nerves than having to live with a life partner for whom you have lost your taste.

Therefore, if a girl is just a play fellow, if he thinks of her only in terms of gay parties, and believes that they are predestined mates because they are such good dance partners, he does we'll to distrust his affection for her, no matter how much she may fascinate him. That sort of love doesn't last You either have to settle down, or set tie up, when you get married. And those who have to settle up pay a price that bankrupts them.

Speaking by and large, and not by card, I should say that the first sign of real love that man can detect in his system is the desire to work for some girl. If she speeds him up, he is in love with her. If she slows him down, he is not. If she makes him roll up his sleeves and set his teeth and go at his job with more energy and pep than he ever did before; if, when he thinks of her at night, he gets up and sets his alarm clock for ten minutes earlier, then it is love

As long as a man shudders at the thought of high cost of living, and gets cold feet every time he passes a mil linery store, he is safe. But when he begins to figure out that two can live as cheaply as one, and every time he sees a display of bungalow aprons he wants to go in and buy the whole lot, he had better watch his step, for he is on his way to the marriage license bureau,
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-07-18

Then there is the settling down test. True love rejuvernates the old, but it ages the young. The minute a man really falls in love he wants to quit playing and begin the serious business of life. He feels suddenly old and sober and responsible. A fireside looks bet ter to him than a cabaret, and a quiet talk than jazzing.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-07-18

For when man really loves wo- man he doesn't take it out in incoming around and writing sonnets to her eye brows. He gets out and hustles so as to bring that vine-wreathed cottage nearer, and work isn't drudgery any more. It is the magic pathway that leads to Her, and he is trying to find a short cut to it.
