FALLING IN LOVE.
Mrs Howe says : Women do not fall in love anymore.’ Ah, well. Perhaps Mrs Howe’s charming and beautiful daughter is a much better authority or that subject than her gifted mother. You see, Mrs Howe, there conies a time when we —when we are apt to—well, the plain fact of the matter is, other people do not grow old at eighteen just because we do at forty-five. There are girls falling in love headlong, every day, in the same old impulsive, romantic, beautiful, unquestioning fashion that used to prevail when t heir mothers’mother wore dimples twenty years old. When the time comes that men and women do not fall in love you may just nickleplate this poor world and sell it for a moon. There will be nobody on it when that time conies. Women don't fail in love any more ? Of course not ; they can’t perform impossibilities, and they cannot fall in love any more than they do, unless the years are made longer.
