ON MODERN LOVE

Had always thought - especially
before coming to Detrolt-that love
should be mutually given. enjoyed
and appreciated by its partners.
That IL was a mutual attraction be-
tween two people who were eager,
anxious and willing to give all OF
themselves for the pure Joy OF max
ing each other happy.
That from this love would be
born all those things which add
richness. beauty and happiness to
ones life.
However. The modern version Of
love seems 10 be based - by the
MCMAHON the fairness Of the man s
purse And by the man, on the
weakness OF the woman 10 expert
ence new thrills.
Modern lovers, especially women,
have saying: Romance without
finance is nuisance.
Time was tsges ago) when the
process OF love was simpler than
today. When a young woman at
tracted to young man dreamed OF
becoming wife, helpmate to the
man and mother OF his children.
The man dreamed OF becoming
husband, protector OF her security
and fsther OF her children Each
gave the best of themselves in order
to stimulate the other to an appre-
citation OF the better things OF life.
But no more. Today, there can
| be no love-or so it seems-unless
there is a spoken or implied none
tary transaction in the offing. What
pity!
No longer. does mans wish to
love and be loved by his hearts

cherish her above all others suffice
to win the heart OF his lady love.
She is much more concerned
about his paydays and how free
hearted he is with his coin.
No longer does a woman's desire
