All For Love.

» j, We have, since we have been publishing the results of the la wq tannis tournament, been asked; " what is a love game." ln tennis "we briefly state that ifc means where one side has never made a score, so also in a '• love set " it means where nofc a score has baen made in any game in the number fixed foi the set. We come therefore to view this position, that a number of young msn and maidens fancy free are constantly taught that love counts for nothing. This is the outcome of modern society and is far away from the teaching of the old poets, and the experience of the parents of tha children of today. It is true .as Lyttleton has written " The lover ni the husband may be lost " bufc then - " How much the wife is dearer than the bride." Perhaps, and we trust ifc i3, the reason that love has been accepted as typical of no score is thafc " love can hope where reason would despair,'' hy far the prettier way of putting ifc ?or that a man is a " Fool, not to know that love en dures no tie." However Sir Walter Scott says — In peace, Love tunes the shepherd's reed ; In war, he mounts the warrior's steed ; In halls, in gay attire is seen ; In. hamlets, dances on the green. Love rules the court, the camp, the grove ; And men below, and saints abovo ; For love is heaven, and heaven is love. Our advice to che conquerors is not like Punch's to those aboufc to marry *' Don't " bufc jusfc otherwise " and love fch' offender, yefc detest th' offence "for " Let me not to the marriage of true minds „ Admit impediments : love is not love 'Which alters when it alteration finds.;'
