The Fairy Tales For the Fair By Helen Rowland. * Ly NCE upon a time there was a young man who O did not have “a bright idea for a play.” Neither did he think that he “could have written for the magazines if he had only tried.” His sole ambition was to write a BOOK on LOVE. “But,” he observed, “before I can tell othere ali about it I must have some experience in the matter myself.” (Which was rather remarkable for @ young man.) | So he started out in quest of “experience,” and, like all the rest of the| trouble hunters, he found it, | He fell in love, in turn, with a widow, a school teacher, a chorus girl, a sufragette, a butterfly, a genius, a fool, a flirt and a bromide. But too many “flames” dry up the well-spring of the emotions, and by the time he had gone down the list he was so excruciatingly bored with life | in general and with love and women in particular, that he had lost all his! enthusiasm for writing a book, Besides, he had by no means solved his problem. “For I perceive,” he remarked, “that the question is not so much ‘WHAT is iove? as ‘WHICH is love?! And how am 1 to decide which IS the reat thing since I always have the same exalied thrilling emotion at the de- gianing of every love affair and the same tired feeling at ite end? Every new brand and every new girl appears to be the real thing, but out, like the hotel soup, to be the same old ‘stock,’ with @ diferent tur fe rhaps,” he added thoughtfully, “I ought to marry, since that is the only cne of the fifty-seven varieties that I haven't tried.” s » picked out a Bromide who scemed the nearest thing to a soul maic, a kitten, an angel and a cook combined and married her, | Put after a year of placid monotony he found that he was no nearer his 405..0i0n “Tush! he said cynically, “there is no such thing as love!" Just then Fate, in one of those absurd tricky moods of hers, painlessly rencicd the Bromide to a better world and brought him face to face with the IDEAL WOMAN. Por the first time in his life the young man KNEW that he had found the cfernal fre and was under the spell of the real thing. it was like walking in meadows of asphodel by moonlight. But when his friends inquired when he would start his book on love he laughed at them. “Never!” he answer “For I could never describe tt. The subject is too vast for me, Besides, I would as soon think of analyzing it ae of dis- secting a beautiful flower in order to find its perfume.” MORAL: An ounce of imagination is worth a pound of eaperience to any cuthor, wan ever.
