To be "ir. love" is to be in a fever, with moments of actual delirium, and nobody expects a person in such a condition to be capable of making wise decisions or of rational action. Many men and women marry, enjoy life, raise families, consider themselves fortunate and happy people, without having known the agonies and IT delights, the fears and raptures of being "In love." It Is a sickness of spirit that makes everything else In life seem dreamy and far away. A woman determines she will not telephone; she cannot wait to get her hands on a telephone. She determines she will not humiliate herself by writing a letter, even as she is inscribing her passionate words on a page. She will not think about him, but she hopes at every corner to meet him, every man's coat or walk or eyes or smile brings him back to her. She will start a conversation, break it off restlessly, determine to lie down for awhile just to dream of him and spring up instantly like a person blinded by sudden pain, to put on her hat and go forth aimlessly to haunt such places as he frequents. A woman "in love" cannot eat or sleep; she is helpless under the neglect or cruelty of the man for whom she is burning with desire, because he is as much her whole world as is the air she breathes and she can do without the one no better than she can do without the other. Unfortunately, to many of our modern women, who are not bound down by housework, a generally moneyless and helpless condition as their grandmothers were, the experience of being "in love" is one that comes after machild-bearin- rriage. Engagement, marriage, g seem motherhood, and a tame affair beside it Some man, romantic, unknown, ready with subtle flatteries about 80 per cent of being "in love" is mutual flatteries, by the way comes out of the blue, and sensible little Nancy, who up to this point has been everything a sweet good daughter, wife, mother, friend ought to be, is carried off her feet and washed out to sea. Ignores the Consequences. That she Is living on whipped cream and caviar and terrapin and marrons glacees, and that she is goating to have a good tack of nauseau and stomach-ach- e after it, doesn't occur to Nancy. The very fact that this particular fruit is forbidden only adds to its flavor. She knows, looking at similar affairs going on among her friends, that after a few months the glamorous Freddie will seem to her just another shallow, simple, selfish, unreasonable man like so many of the others. But fever is upon her, her whole body thrills and throbs with it, and for a few months of passion she will sacrifice everything she bas built into her life and character. Here is a letter characteristic of many I receive, characteristic of a situation that has meant wreckage for a good many women's lives: "Five years ago," writes Alberta, "I was living the quiet life that millions of American women live in small towns. I have two sons; they were aged five and three. My husband was a devoted but rather home-makin- NO ANSWER The "Alberta" of this letter gave up her husband and children for a man whom she does not now love, but with whom she says she was once "in love." She and "Douglas" found themselves at the mercy of the stormy, unreasonable passions that go with the unhappy state of being "in love." After that Alberta completely lost control of her reasonable self. Douglas could not get a divorce, but they went away together anyway. Then, after a few years, Douglas left her. Now Alberta has learned that her husband has been sent abroad with the medical service. She says she would do anything to regain her lost happiness. You will want to know why Kathleen Norris says she has no answer to this 'POCKET' BIBLE The other day, Mr. Lunsford P. Yandell came to see me in New York. From his brief case, he took three copies of a little book and told me the story of how he came across it. Because of his interest in the book, he located the original publisher and found several people who at one time or another had endorsed it He Is now having it republished, feeling that in the present crisis many people will find it valuable. In a letter to me after his visit, there occurs the following sentence: "Conscientious parents are faced with the problem of giving their children a set of standards for their lives, some theory on which to work, whether it is called religion, or by some other name. The great barrier to arousing a youngster's interest in religion as it is taught in the churches, is the impatience of the child. To young people the Bible is a fearsomely large book." Mr. Yandell found a comment by Mr. Dale Carnegie, which strikes me as particularly interesting: "This little book contains the words of the greatest teacher of human relations the world has ever known. There is an urgent need for such a book, it should have been published centuries ago." Well, here it is. You can carry it in your pocket or in your shopping bag and read it in odd moments. It is the complete sayings of Jesus, taken from the King James' Version, arranged by Arthur Hinds. My generation was accustomed to reading some verses from the Bible morning and evening, or to having them read aloud in the family circle. Most of us had our favorite chapters and verses which we learned by heart and which still remain in our minds, no matter how our own special religious beliefs have developed. This is a good book to have, good company at all times. vl h 3 z no one think that specifications for conserving materials in wartime have put restrictions on attractiveness. On the contrary, the new order of things is ushering in a fashion cycle frought with a newness in chic and charm that is excitingly interesting. Instead of finding them disappointing, you'll find that the new styles have exactly what every woman is looking for neat silhouette and fine basic design, together with innumerable little niceties of detail which are flattering and lovely and expressive of all that is best in costume technique. The manipulation of fabric so as to use less yardage simply fascinates with its artfulness and re- sourcefulness. Materials favored for the new "priority fashions" are those which lend themselves best to a delightfully feminine, draped and moded styling which achieves the utmost in figure flattery. For this purpose rayon crepes are proving ideal for the entire dress or used in combination with satin, faille or velvet The working of two fabrics together is fashion news of outstanding importance for fall In fact, k the new vogue which works black crepe or jersey with satin or faille or touches of black velvet is the fashion high spot of the immediate moment.
