OF course, love can't he entirely
explained. 1t strikes in the most
unexpected places, and often with
out rhyme or reason. Some people
say you shouldn't try to explain
it. But / don't believe that. /
think it increases love to study
the, girl of your heart and pick
out those precious qualities which
make you love her. I think 1t adds
to the lovers true appreciation OF
his wife or sweetheart.
But there's still another side to
love. A mans love for a woman
does not depend entirely on the
woman 1t depends a great deal on
the man himself.
A certain woman will satisfy the
inner love-cravings of certain men.

life he has led.
Browning an Artist
/ cannot believe that there has
ever been a happier union OF two
persons than that of Peaches and
myself. Peaches. of all the girls in
the world, has the exact combina-
ton of qualities that | desire What
are those qualities?
To tell that will have to tell
not only about Peaches. but ! must
try to psychoanalyze myself In
the first place, and I say It
modestly. am an artist in life.
AS a boy. / was something OF
an artist with pencil too. re-
member one drawing / made which
turned out to be prophetic. 1T IS
reproduced with tOday's installment,
So YOU can Judge for yourself
whether it is pathetic as well.l
This drawing represents number
of animals standing on top Of each
other. Already, you see, my sub.
conscious mind was dreaming OF
tall slkyscrapers. The basis of this
slim display Of animals is a
giraffe. and the whole structure
rests on his four feet.
Later. when I went into the real
estate business. carried this Wis
ion in my mind. bought a small
plot of land and proposed to build
a slxyscraper for myself Engineers
told me It could not be done. The
plot was entirely too small.
Went to Night School
But. I said to myself, j erected
whole menagerie on four feet,
why couldn't / build Skyscraper
on just a few more feet? l got
the best builders in the country.
/ told them my ideas. They said
they'd try. And they did it.
That was my first real achieve
ment, and for it had shaved
hard. Il started on my own as a
real estate dealer when / was 16.
My father was wealthy. He was a
member of the firm of Browning,
King and Company, the president
of the East and West Railroad OF
Alabama and director Of several
banks. But ] was determined to
make my own way.
After working hard all day /
would go to night school, then
come home to dream of the day
when / would be rich and have a
beautiful wife upon whom to lavish
my wealth. / toiled necessarily

It was then that / became what

fantastic things which emphasized
the color and overtones of life.
Browning Does Charleston
I gave vent to my natural but
Iong-suppressed taste for gayety.
learned to dance and ever since
1 have kept. up with the very latest
steps. I'm proud of my ability as
a Charlestoner. Hey. Hey!
/ surrounded myself with all sorts
Of luxuries I wore colorful ties
with handkarcihefs to match, and
even a purple brocaded vest shot
through with real silver. Why
not? There's too much drabness
in our everyday life. Why not
brighten things up, bit and make
the world a more cheerful place
to live in?
My chief hobby was giving sur.
prise amusement to others. Some
times when / went to a dance /
would take along a big silver low
ing cup. At the height of the
festivities would announce a
prize competition for the cup.
Sometimes 1 would present special
bouquets to each girl. Don't you
think it's a lot Of fun to be able
to do little things like that?
1 also had many private philan-
thropies. /. was especially interested
in aiding unfortunate children.
But always there was the surprise
element in my gifts.
True LOve--Happiness
Wouldn't you do things like that
II you were very rich, particularly
IL you'd never had much fun be-
fore in your life?
l realize now that true love-happi-
ness has come into my life, that
I was restlessly chasing rainbows,
looking for a little bit OF joy after
many weary years. My love for
Peaches had changed that to a
large extent. 1t has Gained my
restless cropping. and mellowed my
fantastic tastes into a rich, full
joy of living. Don't misunder-
stand me. / am still as clipper
and cheerful as cricket. Peaches
keeps me so.
That's one reason love her.
Nothing seems to disturb her
whole hearted gayety. Her youth
full heart is always overlooking
