Decided Lov Has Preltiest Living Poet (Lord Tennyson's Niece) e Isn’t a Cheat? Once Said: “No Thrills In It» But Now, Seven Years Later, Miss F. Tennyson Jesse Writes Ooprright, 1921, by the Pregs Publishing “And I have known Again I should forget. . . That I ached with it yeste! Fomantic love is a cheat, a conspiracy, a Harsh, elderly, masculine misozy- fists have sald that sort of thing bout love. But I don't belleve more than one pretty young woman, in ail New York, ever eaid it, When Blender little Miss Jesse, with her blue eyes, golden hair and apple-blos Bom complexion, visited us just be- fore the war, it was not her famous mncle, or her one-act horror play, ©The Black Mask,” or her whimsical first novel, “The Milky Way," which made her something of a sensation; % was, on the contrary, her exceed- ingly unorthodox viewpoint on love @nd matrimony. This is how she expressed it to me even years ago, for The Evening World—this gir! whose new book f verse is called “The Happy Bride,” and contains such appeals to the fender passion as “Lover's Cry": “This business of being in love is conducted like that of the man who put a placard on his stable which _Tead: ‘Pay tuppence, come in and see @ horse with his head where his tai! \ought to be.’ Each person who en- fered saw a horse with his tail tied to the manger, and was so cross at having lost tuppence that wouldn't enlighten anybody in the crowd. He wanted to see them de- ceived as he been, So persons cheated by the popular idea of love want to pass on the cheat, and no- body exposes it. “All the grownup men and women have united in extolling love be- fdween man and woman as the most wonderful happening in life. The Poets and novelists have been espe- cially active in strengthening the net of the conspiracy. It has tight- ened around the young of either fex. Some ‘have cheated’ thema- selves and believed in their im- aginary thrills. No one has been brave enough to come out and say: “We are deceiving each other; there @re no thrills!’ This is how his . had a girl feels, accord- fing to Miss Jesse of seven years ago when, for the first time, she lets man kiss her: “The blank disappointment of that moment! I had tilted my head back @nd shut my eyes as one had’ al- ways imagined lovers did to get the full glory of a kiss, and I prepared to feel the world go round. I felt othing at all, absolutely nothing. Wo sensation thrilled through me. I was only aware, the next moment, of an awful sensation of something Shattered forever; even with the Hiss I tasted regret. And under all that, more insistent still, was a litte woice saying, ‘If only it had been worth it! If only it had been worth tt!

When once you came, that in the day And while I held you through the night, Forget just in the nearness of you all my sorrow, rday, and will to-morrow.” Does that stanza from the just published “Lover's Cry,” of Miss F. fennyson Jesse, niece of that most popular singer of love songs Bord Tennyson—and herself perhaps the prettiest young woman now writ- fg poetry, prove that she no longer believes the strange gospel she reached in New York just seven years ago this month: namely, that Ifred, thing devoid of rapture and of thrills?
