DEFINITION OF LOVE

Do you know what love realiy istf Keith Winter, the celebrated novelist, has added his quota to the delinitions of this elusive will-o '-the-wisp term. The definition reads: "Love is giving, and giving, and giving, and when you feel that you've notinng left to give you've only just begun to love. "Wanting to have someone all to yourself isn't love; that's enjoyment. If the man you love prefers other company, then he must have it, and if you look like a martyr it%isn't love, and if you feel like a martyr it isn't lovg. You've got to give all tke time, but he must uevor know that because it will embarrass liirn and tliere 's no place for embarrassment in love. You've got to appear sellish soniet'imes, just to give him a feeling of equality. You've got to give him an oecasional fight, otherwise he'll iiud you monotonous. You've got to be obstinato sornetimes, so that he can liuve something to kick agaiust. You've got to be just jealous enough to flatter his vanity, but not so jealous that it will irritate him. You've got to, be completely natural, and that meaus that you mustn 't stop acting for a single second, because love isn't na-° tural, and if anyonG tells you it is, don't you believe them." The foregoing paragraph is an example of the interesting reading matter that fills the pages of "The Now Idea," the weekly pape'r for Australian and New Zealand women.
