Happy Marr riage Reis one Equal Portions of Romance i MAY CHRISTIE’S OBSERVATIONS Seotch Playwright Contends That True Romance Requires a Wee Bit of Pretense on Both Sides;| _. Practice Camouflage Long Enough and You Will BE What You Only PRETENDED to Be. By Marguerite Mooers Marshall Copyright, 1049, by The Press Publishing Co. (The New York Bvening World.) “ VERY lover is a camouflage lover! Bvery girl is a camouflage E sweetheart! All's fair tn love and war, you know, and Nature decided camouflage was fair in love long before man adapted i to his uses in war. There can be no happy romance without camoufiage, and if there were more of it after the weddl day marriage would be a happier state! than tt Is.” ! ‘The expounder of this interesting philosophy—with | which I, for one, heartily agree—ia Miss May Christie. | Miss May Christie is « beautifal young woman and is! the author of “The Camoufigge Lover,” “The Eternal | Eve," “Love's Gamble" and many other serial novels widely read in Great Britain and about to appear in this country. Born in Ching of Gootch parentage, a graduate of the University of E> - MMinburgh, Miss Christie did hor first literary work here a few years ago, . returned to us for a brief visit after achieving success as a Writer of romantic Gction for the Lépdon Daily Mirror and other pub- | would go to the wall speedily without pd ie still in her earty | his expert assistance, and that she is engaged to nothing jess than @ young Napoleon ‘in the city." ° “And are not British girls encounter- ing just now the camoufage hero?” I suggested, “Of course you have plenty Of real—and silent—heroes. But are not the war liars making hay in love?” “They are,” acknowledged Miss Christie, with a twinkle which seemed to me tinged with reminiscence. “The Australian and Canadian young men are especially successful in manipu- lating the hero camouflage. “Another type of camouflage lover who is most amusing is the young man who will appear a bit of a blood, a fascinating Gevil. In the restaurants he is always calling to your attention some resplendertt and notorious actress whom he mentions lightly by her first name, Actually, of course, he makes up the identity on the spot, and his private life is blameless, “There is the camouflage liver of the Continent, the real rake, the Latin who is 80 skilled in the technique of devotion that by word, gesture or manner he can display a finished ad- oration for the young woman his parents have selected for his wife.
