Are You in Love?

Here is the fourth questionnaire, continuing discussion of the Affair in Running Order.

Commentary

To be read when you have studied the questionnaire

LET me earnestly hope

that you are able to put

a firm "No" after each of these very critical ques- tions, especially the first.

My advice to every wo- man, no matter how fas- cinating, how desirable, she may be, is: "Abstain from love affairs which must be kept going by your own initiative." A few litle ad- vances on your part may reasonably be called for by circumstances, but there is something very much amiss if you must habitually seek instead of being sought after.

The rest of this group is con- cerned with lesser Lactical errors, one or two of which may, however, be pretty serious,

It is hard, when the enchant- ment is at its height, to imagine that the lover could ever have a surfeit of you, but the wise woman knows that, if she can- not achieve the elusive happy medium, she will serve love bet-

small" when one's feelings have been hurt is almost equal- ly prevalent. Such inclinations should be strenuously suppress- ed. To gratify them is a folly hard to retrieve.

A tendency to be worried and harassed is likewise detrimen- tears tal to attraction, and should be reserved for very special occasions. At first they; are touching, then they pro- duce embarrassment, eventual- ly they become a mere exaspera- tion.
