one she wants may not come
along the very day she leaves
business school. She may have

It is true that some people
say they have never fallen in
love. This, however, is not be-
cause they did not want to, but
because the proverbial right
man" or woman" as the case
may be, did not happen along.
That the call of love is al
most inevitable is proved by the
fact that even those who pass
middle life without. falling in
love often do so-and hard
when they least expect it. In
deed, one catches love-that is,
love is reused within one
much as one catches the
measles. Ask the individual who
is ill with measles, or the one
who Is sick with love, how 1t all
happened, and the chances are
neither will be able to give a
satisfactory answer.
It will be noted that in the
last sentence I used the word
"sick" in connection with love.
But is not that exactly what
love is-a kind Of mental ILL
ness?
Nor does love affect only the
mind particularly the emo
tional part of it. It can &C.
tually affect the body! There
are scores of cases of love-
sickness in which one finds poor
appetite, loss of weight, Sleep
lessness, palpitation of the
heart, restlessness, nervousness,
muscular twitchings, inability to
concentrate, headaches, dizzi-
ness and a host of other symp-
toms. In my own experience
I know of at least two persons
who developed fever!
Those who became afflicted
with love-sickness may have
either a marked or a mild case
of it. Usually they recover.
Nevertheless, a few never do,
and the pains of heart-hunger
which follow as an aftermath in
such cases are among the most
distressing that human flesh is
heir to.
The trouble with love as
rule is the fact that it is too
highly romanticized. Romantic
love is always colored by over
idealism, hope and beauty. In
itself that should not be a fault.
It is a fault, however, when it
is overdone. Then love becomes
too enticing, too dreamy, too un-
real, too ensnaring.
The way to avoid love-Sick-
ness that may prove serious is
not to avoid the possibilities Of
falling in love, but rather to
add some reason and good old
fashioned horse sense to the ex-
perience.
For sooner or later common
sense will come to the rescue
anyway. Than. If the love has

CHAPTER XVI


All the rest Of the night
Shsrlie and her father sat in
the little living room of the
flat while Edna and the doctor
worked over Dodie behind the
closed door Of the bedroom.
The dawn was pink in the
sky above the houSetops across
the street when they finally
emerged. The doctor shook
hands with Mr.. Dunn, drank a
cup of hot coffee, said that
sometimes sleeping powders
had extraordinary effects on
people, and went away.
It was Edna who explained
the whole episode to Sharlie's
father. "And now," she said,
when she had finished, 'let's
forget it! Dodie's acted like
q fool lately, in a good many
ways, but I think she's come
to her senses now"
It'd like to see her." Mr..
Dunn interrupted, and went on
tiptoe to the door of the room
where his wife lay half-asleep.
Presently the two girls could
hear them talking together in
low tones.
When he came back into
the living room Edna went on
with what she had started to
say. "Eldon, let me talk to
you," she said in her quiet
way. You're coming back
here now, of course, aren't
you? And so am I. .Dodie's
had her taste of freedom, and
now she's ready to take us all
back. That's why she took all
those powders. To frighten us
and get us home"
There was anger in her
voice.
"She's. been acting like a
spoiled child ever since I can
remember-and we've all been
letting her get away with it,"
she went on. But now think
it's time she realized that she's
not the important person in
the family any longer"
Mr.. Dunn threw her mildly
startled look, as if he couldn't
imagine anyone being more i'm
portant than Dodie anywhere.
"Sharlie'S future is all ahead
Of her, and it seems to me that
all Of us ought to be thinking
about it-especially her
mother" Edna brought one
Of her capable-looking hands
down flat on the table as
she spoke, for emphasis.
For Sharlie's Sake
''Why-her mother thinks
about Sharlie," Mr.. Dunn an
swered meekly. Almost al
ways, when he said anything,
he seemed to be apologizing
for daring to speak. "She looks
after her. She kept her here
when we separated"
"Only because you told her
that she had to-" Edna told
him flatly. "She's never really
looked after Sharlie. And when
the two Of them were alone
here, she was always telling
Sharlie to stay away from

invite her to some of our

The only way to meet any
one formally, my dear boy, is to
get someone who is acquainted
with you both to introduce you
properly. And I hope you will
forgive me for saying that it
strikes me a good deal like lock-
ing the stable door after the
horse has gone, to insist on a
formal introduction after you

your advice. We are both very
fond of each other, and feel
sure this is not a case Of

your going about together, II
