SECRETS OF
HEALTH
by DR.. Brice Belden

WoMAN's love Is anything but
w selfish. The more II is linked
to devotion and sacrifice the
greater does such love rebound to-
her feeling of well-being.
We note this altruistic tendency
Of woman's love in young female
children. liz the little girl is
compelled through circumstance
to nurse and take care Of her
brothers and sisters, she forsakes
her dolls and playmates quite
willingly and Is happy in sacri.
ficing herself for their good.
Man can, and often does. think
of his love life as something
quite distinct and apart from
himself. He may think of it in
the same way that he regards
his ambition or his work. He
is happier when his love is re-
quilted, but he can be happy with.
out love.
A woman never can. That is,
her love need not necessarily flow
toward a member of the opposite
sex. Many women do without
love TO a man-eXcepting that
for father, brother or a male
relative--but they cannot then
well do without an outpouring of
affection toward some other non.
human object. even If it be a
pet animal, or music, art, religion
or a cause of some kind to
which thev submerge themselves
with whole-hearted fervor.
1t is well-known that women
who experience unhappiness in
love for the opposite sex often
take up charity work or profes-
sional nursing of the sick. The
woman finds such substitution
possible because her love consists
in protecting the object she loves
and in guarding it with jealous
care. For the man the outstand.
ing characteristics of her love
were self-effacement and devotion.
For her new work identical feel.
ing-tones are essential.
A man, on the other hand, does
not try to find a substitute for
his love desires when his quest
for love has proved a failure.
What he is apt to do Is indulge in
riotous living or console himself
with hard work or change of
scene. In other words, he at
once attempts to forget. to wipe
tho love experience out of his
mind, 10 stifle it, while the woman
merely transfers the love urge
from one object to another.
When woman is in love, all
her highest and finest qualities
come to the fore.
Woman is most moral when I'm
love, most intelligent. most mod.
est most beautiful.
Likewise, when in love and
here again man is differentiated
love absorhs all her thoughts and
attention every single hour of the
day.
A woman really needs to love
more than she needs being loved,
while man is principally con-
cerned with bestowing love and
may find being loved an inter-
ference at times with his other
masculine activities.
This tremendous compelling force
to be loved often leads woman
to make useless sacrifices. She
seems to believe that if she proves
her love through deeds of deVo
ton and thougnrfulness she will
thereby elicit more love and that
1t will be directed TO herself.
