LOVE IN THE 'EIGHTIES
Mrs. George Black, Member for the Yukon in the Canadian Parliament, has written an autobiography titled "My Seventy Years," and published by Thomas Nelson. One of her tales casts an interesting light on the love psychology of the 80's, It is worth quoting: "My maiden Aunt Sarah and I were sleeping in a bedroom opening on to the verandah of our summer cottage. "We were dilahennl by this conversation: ‘Darling, let me bite you, ‘Oh, no, you mustn't.’ ‘But darling, do let me bite you.’ ‘Oh, no, I just couldn't’ ‘But I won't hurt you a bitI just want to bite you.’ "By this time we were thoroughly awake — and knew the voices. Aunt Sarah could stand it no longer. "Sitting bolt upright in bed, she called out: "‘Ethel, for heaven’s sake let him bite you, and be done with it "»
