If you are to believe certain scient-
ists and philosophers who have re-
cently been say-
ing things here
and in Europe,
love — romantic
love as we know
It—Is not to last;
Is doomed to pass
with other things
that are giving
way to the
changes of an In-
ventive age, writes
Anna Steese Rich-
ardson. In the
New York Sunday
World.
Today Is the
age of startling
changes, stupend-
ous progress, almost cyclonic sacrifice
of old Ideas to the new. Traditions,
customs, habits and creeds perish
overnight. Yet even from this social
chaos a few forces may emerge al-
most primeval. Will love be such a
force? Or shall the twentieth century
maiden yet taste the bitter truth of
the cynic's claim that love-making
will soon b“ classed amo^g the dead
arts?
Love! It has made humanity happy
and miserable since ever the world
was born. Kingdoms have been cut
tn twain or lost for It. Heroes have
gained Immortality In Us name, and
have passed Into oblivion that they
might first taste Its bitter sweet fruits.
Alen have been hanged for it and
women have smilingly died for It.
Armies have been slaughtered that a
king might hold the woman he loved
In his arms once more, and modern
fortunes have been wrecked for the
kiss of a woman. Artists, novelists
and dramatists have won fame by pic-
turing love as the world would have
1L
And yet there are modern philoso-
phers, modern scientists, modern so-
ciologists who will tell you that love
is an evanescent thing for which the
higher Intelligence demands a sub-
stantial. real, vital substitute.
Some of the new creeds or beliefs
which are attracting thinking people
and reducing attendance at those
churches whose denomlnationalism
stands for a material mankind, mate-
rially fallen and materially redeemed;
those so-called creeds which may be
loosely grouped as new thought move-
ments, preach an Impersonal love, an
all enveloping intellectual love, which
knows no sex and does not concern
Itself at all with the future of the
human race.
“Love," writes Prof. W. J. McGee,
the famous anthropologist, “is merely
a disorder of the mind."
And for every disorder, pyhyslcal or
mental, science is confident of Its abil-
ity to find the proper remedy. There-
fore In time It will wipe out this par-
ticular mental malady.
Haeckal’s Idea of Love.
"I-ove,” says Ernst Haeckel, the
i German scientist, “Is merely the at
traction of billions of atoms, elec-
trically charged in your system, cor-
responding to the same number of the
same sort of atoms In a person of the
opposite sex.”
Any girl kissed for the first time by
i man who knows how It should be
lone will admit the atomic theory;
'or, small though the atoms may be,
■he sees them, every one, electricity
md all. Yet science will aoon be
»b!o to calculate the exact number of
billions necessary to creats the Im-
pulse of love and, by carefully re-
ducing the number thereof, will elim-
inate love and ltk troublesome train of
Incidents from the path of progressive
men and women.
Take the girls of yesterday, today,
tomorrow. What relation have they
borne, do they bear and will they bear
to love?
Your great-grandmother as a girl
went to the village school for a few
months In each year. The three R'fc.
a smattering of French, a few lessors
In dancing—and her education
"finished.” The rest of her girlb
was Bpent at home, preparing for
what? The coming of love. And If
he loitered by the way. she became an
object of pity. Rather than occupy
that position she sometimes did not
wait tor hts coming, but snatched the
first counterfeit that came her way.
You went to school nine months in
the year and the three R's formed the
least important part of your cur-
riculum. You were taught that It was
well to let love loiter as he would—
and be economically Independent
while you were waiting. So you
taught school, or did dressmaking for
your neighbors, or secured a position
as village postmistress, which pro-
fessions were considered as quite com-
patible with matrimony later ou.
But. oh. your daughter! She goes
to school nine months In the year,
takes a summer course for her vaca-
tion. carries a latch-key, Is keen for
athletic sports, knows what her prep-
aration for business or a profession
will yield five years from now, and
tells you that, men are deteriorating.
Possibilities of the Future.
Will she In time prefer an apart-
ment hotel for bachelor mala.. to the
family roof tree? Will she preach com-
munity living to overworked relatives
ho are merely married? Will she go
to a church where the doctrine is
preached that when men and women
shall have reached that mental and
spiritual plane where thought destroys
sex, there will be no giving or taking
in marriage?
When love knocks at her door will
she open just a few Inches and study
his make-up. from arrow tips to pin
feathers, very carefully?
"Do you earn at least twice as much
as I do?” she may ask. “Would you
expect me to do my own housework,
or would we take a suite In a hotel?
May I continue in my career, or must
I merge my individuality in yours?
Will you .nake any objection to my
marching In a suffragist parade?"
How do you think love will feel
after a catechism like that?
Pretty much like taking a sneak
back to the days when clinging vines
wore muslin frocks and pink ribbons!
Your great-grandmother had 13 or
14 ..hildren. Your grandmother had
nine. You had four. Your daughter
may have one, or none at all. The
modern woman counts the cost of
each child and checks It against the
earnings of her husband. Your grand-
mother said: "The Lord wilt pro-
vide."
Beckonings of Hope.
And yet—there is hope—for love
and for your sons and for your daugh-
ters. Moreover, said hope Is born of
no less hard and prosaic a source than
the United States census.
Of the children that, enter the low-
est classes In public and private
schools each year, roundly placed at
15,000,000. only 100.000 will go to col-
leges or universities, and of this num-
ber not more than one-third are girls.
In other words, whf!* the pre«-c* fe-
male population of the United States
Is close to 40,000.000. only about 33,000
of theip will enjoy the higher educa-
tion which Jeers at love. And out of
| those same 40,000.000 women less
j than 6,000.000 will be self-supporting
and In a position to look too critically
I at the garb which love assumes.
Going more minutely Into the ques-
tion, you will find that while ten or
j fifteen years ago. when the higher ed-
ucation of women was a fad. new sud
I therefore fascinating, class reunions
and reports of class secretaries went
to prove that college graduates mar-
ried very late In life and that the av-
erage In a class was 50 per cent, mar-
ried and 50 per cent single a few
years subsequent to their graduation.
Today that average Is considerably
towered—In favor of marriage, and U
is considered good form to be engaged
though still in college. .
Man may Invent a flying machine
which will send the now popular and
ubiquitous automobile to the junk
heap. Physicians and gurgeons may
eliminate certain diseases and substl-
tue good feelings for the Monday
morning grouch. Inventors may util-
ize electricity In such practical fashioa
that all other motive forces will be
discarded and forgotten. Tablets of
rich nutritive qualities and rare flavor
may eventually solve the servant girl
problem. But what can take the place
of love, the real, all-wool-and-a-yard-
wide brand of love, the sort our grand-
mothers used to make?
And what sensation created by the
cunnlngest Inventor of them all can
replace the ecstatic effects of one soli-
tary, prolonged kiss of the good old
common or garden variety that Cupid
planted in the Garden of Eden and
which has been yielding magnificent
crops ever since?
Nature's Balances.
And If the much-educated girl hesi
tates to yield to the importunities of
love and delays marriage until she
reaches thirty, this condition Is more
than balanced by the early marriages
among self-supporting girls. In manu-
facturing centers girls marry young,
because they go to work young. If
the fad ot the American girl today Is
a taste of Independence or a career,
It does not seem to lake her very
long to exhaust the pleasurable sen-
sation. The mill girl goes to work
early and marries early. The collegd
girl becomes independent later and
marries later. That Is the only dif-
ference between the two types. Both
marry almost as soon as they've
learned that Independence, like the
post card task oi “being good," is
such a lonely job!
“Lovesickness,” as a disease, makes
trouble for physicians. They consider
It seriously in conventions assembled
and Dr. A. R. Hagle, a Chicago phy-
sician. says that It can be cured only
through mental suggestion. Now you
do not see physicians discussing dis-
eases which do not exist and there-
fore do not represent fees, do you?
And it there Is such a thing as love-
sickness In quantities large enough to
cause medical discussion, what a lot
of love must be lying around loose!
Science recognizes the presence of
love in our midst and spends thou-
sands trying to Invent love tests, de-
spite the fact that matrimony is the
only sure fire test.
Dr. Lightner Wltmer, chief of the
department of psychology in the Uni-
versity of Pennsylvania, can tell you
whether you love May Brown or Susie
Smith by registering your heart beats
and your thought waves and your red
corpuscle action when the name of
the right girl is mentioned.
Unfailing Register.
This machine is called the phthys-
mograph and It Is attached to your
heart when the test is demanded. An-
other machine which scientists con-
sider quite as reliable Is attached to
you. wrist and is called the sphygmo-
gvaph. Neither machine has yet found
its way to the Monday morning ber-
gain sales, however.
Moreover, though a machine may be
much more reliable than a gypsy for-
tune teller or tea cup grounds, or the
number of apple seeds you find In a
„ore, *he average man or woman pre- j
fer experiment In love’s old-fash-
ioned way and take a chance. Seeing
your love registered in a jiggly line
may be accurate, but .t is sort of— !
well—er—unsatisfying, as compared
with analyzing your own feeling Ip a t
cozy sitting room with the electrolier
properly shaded.
An advertising agent who knows
commercial conditions thoroughly ;
places the amount of money paid an- j
nually In Greater New York to seers,
gypsies, fortune tellers, palmists, |
clairvoyants and “psychics” at 31,000,-
000. This represents a quarter of a
dollar for every Inhabitant of the
great city. If you make the rounds :
of the leading purveyors of future ,
events you will learn that 95 per cent,
of the Inquiries hurled at them deal
with love!
"Does he love me?"
'Can I win her?”
"Will she some back to me?”
And this in the money-mad city of
the Union!
Never mind how copper and cotton
are going. Why worry about the tar-
iff? But. oh. you seeress In dingy
magenta gown and sequined shawl— |
"Does he love me?”
It’s the same old question handed
down from mother to daughter since
the world was as young and fresh and j
green and sweet as love Itself, And ,
women—to say nothing of men—will ■
always ask for love, though science
fall and the wo.'Ui be made again!
