Jack Says She Did It, but She Insists That Jack Did All the Lovye-Making. Y Dear Jack—Your letter came like a cold M shock this morning. It was quite revivi- fying! Adam never showed more in- genuity in laying all the sins of the world on Eve than you have displayed in transferring all your little pet misde- meanors to my shoulders, You accuse me first of having “iet” you make love to me. Of course! The woman is always to blame. She should wear a foot- Dall mask if she doesn't wish to be kissed and blacken her teeth if she doesn’t want to bea “temptation,” and call in the minions of the law when she sees an attack of sentimentality coming over a man. Mere indifference and indignation and discouragement are nothing but “lures,” which she employs to incite him. Refusing to kiss him is like putting the jam where the small boy can reach it and ordering him not to touch it. Keep the jam locked out of sight—or it's your fault if he steals it. And yet having “let” you slip out of the straight and narrow path and zig-zag all over the downward one, you blame me for being “sorry” about it and tcriting you a regretful letter an hour after the tragedy—and the kiss. You can't see why 1 “allowed” you to make love lo me if I knew I should “wish I never had.” Go to, my dear boy! Didn't you declare that it required one cocktail and a highball to help you swallow that letter and two more highballs to help you forget it? And yet, when you drank all By Helen Rowland.

Tam sorry my letter affected you “like ice water on the heart. And I DO agree with you that a man's love “needs a stimulus.” In these days the love germ is so weak that nothing but constant stimulation will keep it alive, dt requires all the energies of all the shopkeepers to make women &@ mulatingly beautiful and all the time a woman can give to keep herself stimulatingly clever and stimulatingly groomed and atimulatingly joyous and stimulatingly mysterious. And yet the very best stimulant in all the world for ANY man’s love is plain, undiluted ice water, There is nothing like refrigerating a grand passion for keeping it fresh and beautiful. You can’t freeze out the fire of love, but you can ertinguish it in half a minute with a good heavy blanket of reciprocation. So, after all, my poor little letter should have been as good as a dose of bromo-seltzer for your emotions. T hate to break our engagement for the opera on Friday night, but I'm afraid to keep it! SUPPOSE thc. under the stimulating influence of Lohengrin you should have another attack of mental aberration and want to make love to ne again. And SUPPOSE that I should be weak enough to “let” you, 1 would have no possible way to keep you from saying foolish things and even kissing me! My dear Jack, since I seem to be responsible for your hope of heaven, 1 am going to do my DUTY and keep you as far away as possible from all “temptations” like ME, patience “net morning” a A The Jollys’ Bull Pup @ ww w By fH.
