Nor are you in love as long as you have to justify your love and give a reason for it. If you have to say I love John because he is so intelligent or Tom because he is a £0-Better or Sam because he i8 kind to his mother, what you have is only synthetic love. When you are really in love with a man, you love him because you love him and without any reference whatever to what he is or is not. It is just be- cause he is he and you are that way about him. Then consider whether you have hallucinations or not. If you think some snub-nosed, carroty-haired youth is handsomer than Gre- gory Peck and you live in terror of the movies snatching him away to Hollywood or if you think some ordinary youth without two ideas to bless himself with an oracle upon whose words you hang and whose opinion you quote, /then you may be sure that he is it so for as you are concerned.

Next, pay careful attention to your reaction to his society. Do you get fed up on him when he hangs around a lot or do you never get enough of his company? A great poet declared once that the test of love was whether you could muse all day on an absent face that had fixed you. That's hooey. Anybody can long for an absent face. The trick is to stand the one that you have gazed upon 365 days a year and still like it. _ Next, consider whether you are in love with the boy or the good times he gives you. Is he all mixed. up in your mind with flowers and candy and night clubs and automobiles and do you think of life with him as a prolonged party? Would he look list as good to you if he were poor and shabby and didn't have the money even to take you to the movies often, and if being married to him meant hard work and pinching the pennies and wondering where the rent money was coming from? ‘ And, finally. note whether you want to mother a boy or not. All true feminine love is half-maternal.

It is a brave story of the everyday all season living, inter- woven skillfully with the ways of the sea as it washes that bold coast —of winds and tides, of ships and buoys,\ of cairn and tempest, of sun and fog . . . and the light they keep to help pilot the sailor to some safe haven. “My ship sails farther from the shore each day The hills I know grow fainter to my 939.
