Don't look cross. / like them

her further? Was she keeping all

versa ton to tease, to punish me, or had
she some Interior motive?
She commenced to talk of other
things and l lost my chance unless

be anxious to hear my report.

which Natalie had greeted my return.

We Women

No Trespassing Allowed

The impression seems to be univer-

in an open fireplace are exclusively the
property rights of man. 1t is very sell
dom that We see a woman in the movies
staring at the roaring flames as she
smokes a cigar or pipe. This is n
picture in which only men are framed.
The movie producers do not even show
us woman smoking cigarette or sip

Neither the theatre nor the novels al
low us to trespass upon the warm, in
innate spaces Of a fireside by ourselves
The only time we ever do appear be-
fore an open fireplace is with the per-
mission of illustrators of magazine
stories; but even they place restrictions
upon us. They will not let us sit down
unless it is in mans lap or on the
arm of morris clair, with man in
it. OF course, the presence of a man in
such surroundings would add to the
mystic joys of the fire and the fascina,
ton of the flames. But what I resent
particularly is the fact that if it were
to enjoy fire we must do it ourselves.
At any rate, we never appear this way
on the screen, the stage or il a novel.

LOVE A CENTURY OLD

Real love, the union of earthly and
divine feelings, is little more than a
century old, according to the declara-
ton of DIR. Emil Lucka, the famous
Austrian poet and philosopher.
To those who have believed that
love existed about as long as the
world itself, this comes as shock.
But the doctor explains his theory by
stating that Oriental love was physical.
Ancient love meant the mastery of man
over woman. Medieval love meant
domination of woman over man. while
modern love knows perfect equipoiss.

yearns toward that as it possible?''
A young woman signing herself J..
n. has just written very appealing
letter which may interest many girls
who are pondering over this same
question. She writes:
Il must make a decision and yet
do not trust my heart to guide
me. / am in love with young man
who can best be described as a sporty
youth. / don't mean that he is wild,
but rather that he only thinks of good
times and does not consider the future.
His trouble seems to be that his
thoughts are all for pleasure and he
does not figure the consequences. l am
not engaged to him yet, but he has
asked me to accept his ring many times.

myself to do this because ] remember

brag about.

settle down to guiet, home life with

devil-may-care attitude on life after he
is married? He says he loves me and
will give up this life when we are
married, butt am afraid to try to re-

you and also to hear what other read

any one. The very word is repulsive
in this day of scofflaw, so let us ask
the question would the young man

psychologist. She must decide whether
he is redblooded, sincere, honest man
