THE CHINA MAIL.

It has frequently been asserted that life is what one makes it, but to a vast number of people Bfe is a grey routine, made up of monotonous days filled with monetonous tasks, which have to be carried out that the worker may keep alive. And keeping alive is not. life.

But every normal being is born with the capacity for romance, The child satisfies this natural craving by games-of "make-believe," and the big folk pander to what they know the child wants by means of fairy tales. As childhood passes we cannot leave fairyland behind entirely, and we still blindly grope for a land of make believe in a mundane world where competition to live seeks to swamp

the dreamer.

It is because of this blind groping and longing for romance that crowds of women flock to witness weddings. Many of them cry at these functions, as they would weep at a funeral, but they enjoy their tears. Such tears give an acute joy because they stir up the monotony.

Most women thrive on new sensa- tions, and it is the search for sensa- tions which draws them to the ske of the boxing ring, lures them to the courts when' murderers are being tried for their lives, makes them wade through reports of seamy divorce cases, and coaxes them into picture palaces when great dramas showing.
