What is love?" she asks.
And expects me to supply a
reliable list of symptoms.
It can't be done. Love isn't
a definite visitation like meas
les, pink-eye or hives. al
though its sufferers often act
as II they had all three. Love
has no set reactions-no regu-
lar program. It varies with
each human being. It takes
its quality and dimensions from
each different. character.
LOVE IS WHAT WE MAKE
TT. ..
For love isn't something
apart from u.s., it isn't some
thing that happens TO us, as
is generally supposed. 1t is
something that happens IN us,
something that we build with
in ourselves, out of our dreams
and. our hungers. Then, when
the time is ripe, hang it on
the other fellowl
That, OF, course. isn't the
way love is supposed to happen.
We have woven so many ro-
mantle theories about love, we
have been so dazed by its
.ecstasies and despairs that we
have entirely obscured the
truth. But the truth is that
love is home brew. We are
not the helpless victims Of a
little pink god. We make our
own love patterns, we select our
own lovers, in the sealed and
secret laboratories of our own
spirits.
We make these patterns and
selections to fit our own needs.
Each heart knows its own.

tion for its loneliness, its van.
ity, its fear, its dream of beau.
~. Out Of that need we build
our picture. Of the Ideal Com
panion. sThen, some day we
find, or think we have found,
the living answer to our dream.
And we promptly proceed to
load our desire and delight on
that other mortal. who prob
ably goes bow-legged under the
strain.
That's how love comes. Not
like an epidemic-or a thunder
bolt over which we have no
control. But as the inevitable
result Of our own hidden pro.
ceSSeS.
And our love, when we finally
give it. will be all of a piece
with the rest Of our natures,
Which means that there are as
many kinds of love as there

Editor, Times:
Despite the hot weather we
have endured these past two
months, I insist that the at
fractions of Washington for
tourists and vacationiStS during
the summer season have never
been properly exploited. and are
not appreciated even by Wash
ingtoniaHlS themselves.
AS a focal point from which
one may make trips into the
surrounding territory-es especial
ly the historic sections Of Vir-
ginia-the Capital has an ap-
peal that cannot be equalled by
any other city in the country.
We can leave outside the reck-
oning the attractions Of the city
itself.
Where else can one find such
romantis section as tidewater
Virginia, including the James
river peninsula, in which James
town. Williamstpwn; and York
town are located, not to men

Argentine Revolution .

The revolution in Argentine,
which is the most highly de-
veloped nation in South Amer.
lea, indicates clearly that the
United States has the only
really stable government in the
Western hemisphere.
A governmental flip-flop Of
the sort which has occurred in
Buenos Aires is unthinkable to
us: If it should happen, it would
mean nothing less than the
smash.up of our constitutional
form Of government. It is al
most impossible for a citizen
Of the United States to realize
that a nation like the Argentine
should be so volatile politically.
Incidentally, the part that the
army played in the Argentine
revolution is significant. 1t
shows us that any move to
give the military any larger
share in our affairs than it
has at present should be Sternly
resisted. JEFFERSONIAN.
