To make love is, to the American mind, a mode of imita- tion, We did not perpetrate the blunder, in founding the republic, of slavish I reproduction of the monarchical mod- els of Europe.

The reply to that libel is that the whole art of love is feminized. Our men have blindly inferred that love is what women make it. They have too childishly assumed that whatever a woman says about love must be classed as expert opinion. The truth is, of course, that as itis for the man to make money, i likewise incumbent upon him to make love. The part played by the woman is just now not sufficiently passive. The part played by the man is, therefore, not sufficiently active. He has forfeited his masculine right todomination and to the initiative. The Europeans have not al- lowed themselves to be robbed in this fashion of their supremacy in an art which dates from the creation. The Italian count lives for love. The British aristo- crat languishes for love. The French ad- venturer goes in quest of love. The Amer- ican citizen deems love beneath him. ’ He fears to talk about it. Now, talk- & ing about love is one way to make love. The first step in the direction of reform is acquisition of capacity to talk about love. It should be talked lr of seriously, Neverthe remarkably few Americans who seem able to talk of love seriously, even austerely. That is why we never read of the love af- fairs of our great men.

A Brooklyn man say “When baby was about eleven months old he began to grow thin and pale. This was at first attributed to the heat and the fact that his teeth were coming, but, in reality, the poor little thing was starving, his mother's ilk not being sufficient nourishment. “One day, after he had cried bitterly for an hour, I suggested that my wife try him on Grape-Nuts. She soaked two teaspoonfuls in a saucer with a lit- tle sugar and ate so rav ond, which he likewise finished. «It was not many days before he for- got all about being nursed, and has since lived almost exclusively on Grape- Nuts. To-day the boy is strong and robust and as cute a mischief-maker as a thirteen-monthe-old baby is expected to be. “We have put before him other foods, but he will have none of them, evidently preferring to stick to that which did him so much good—his old friend, Grape-Nuts. “Use this letter any way you wish, for my wife and 1 can never pr: Grape-Nuts enough after the brightness it has brought to our household.’” Grape-Nuts is not made for a baby food, but experience with thousands of babies shows it to be among the best, if not entirely the best, in use. Being a scientific preparation of nature's grains, it is equally effective as a body and brain builder for grown-ups.
