Are You

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

ET 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 tactical errors, one or two of which may, however, be pretty serious.

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- tal to attraction, and tears 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.

I do not recommend entire abstinence from weeping, which may, under certain conditions, be a good dramatic device: but my counsel for general pur poses is to keep gaiety and good nature in evidence as often as you possibly can. It's nearly always worth the effort,
