Love at First Viewed Scientifically By Experts at the Game Love Is a Disease,’ Says!

What puzzied me was just what Sir James expected the sanitary inspectors to do about all this—unless he hoped they might act as Cupid's postmen be- tween the Clara Vere de Veres and the foolish yeomen. However, sald inspec tors being in London, and not to be in- terviewed, I concluded to submit Sir James's romantic theorles to another soclal philosopher, Andre Tridon, the Futurist lecturer and writer. “Love is a " quoth M, Tridon, Dlandly. “Being a disease, it is bound to run its course.
