Lovers abound this season, and the very air is heavy with the scent of orange blossoms and wedding cake, saysa disappointed writer. EOwever, while the sound of wedding bells still fills the air and the lists of approaching marriages and announce- ments-of engagements are as full, if not fuller, than ever, one cannot help a feeling of disappointment, a sense of ltnsthat is scarcely definable, in the emtemplation of up-to-date lovers. ' LildeMiss Squeers, we, the onlookers, are palpitating with romance. and we doour best to cast about these young folks the glamour that clings, as we all like$mimagine, to love’ s young dream. But it is of. little or no avail We get ianghed at for our pains, we are polite- 11.1.0111 1n the inelega'nt; diction of the fly that that sort of thing 15 all “Tom- my rot.” In short, the fond lover and , the happy maid of to-day, to again em- ploygaghnaee of the moment, are “not takmg any ” sentiment. Perhaps the knight of this end of the cantury regards his lady as the em- Sodimcnt of all that' Is beautiful, noble and pure; maybe she in turn sees in him the reflection of chivalry and bravery- and devotion; but if so, they adopts novel'way Of expressing them- seices andrevealingtheir .fond super- stitizon. to the onlooker. , One naturally expects them to-be a trifle foolish, but 1Sireggznre no such thmg; What is more, they are at pains to make this fact quite clear to all whom it may concern. Nething, judging from her manner randmonversation, is so distasteful to meandernmaid just promoted to the dignity Ofafiancee as to have it, sup- posed that she and Jack are desperate- ly in love with each other, and Jack, taking his one from his fayre ladye, only, gives indication of his aflection by being. if possible, a little less courteous to her than he was when they biked and danced and skated together as mere acquaintances. Courtesy, it is ancient history to tell, is quite out of date; with it has gone sweet sentiment almost as a matter of-wcourse. Straws, it is said, will show which my the wind is blowing, and if we review the songs and stories of the day, do we not find that it is no longer the. "Thou of my thou” passionate dream of the love song that is in rogue, but the semi-cynical ballads of popular comic operasthat find favor? Again, to take the love scenes in novels of to-day and compare them with those in the old stories is but to arrive at the further conclusion tnat 301mg people of the present time no }longer idealize each other or indulge in the sweet fondness of their p1ede- eessors. Still deeper does the conviction grow when we study the modern engaged couples 1n01e closely. My little lady has ve1 y determined views and appar- ently thinks it quite beneath her digni- 3y to display any pride in her lover. SirKnight thinks nothing of greeting her-with the remark that she is “a bit if color” tonight, while the whole tone of theirconversation with each other seems to be tinged with the same 1113110111 tesy and. inuitfe1ence to all that once was held to be the ver essence of Love s 101111;; d1 eam As the time of the wedding approach- asthe commercial spirit of the age as; 'serts itself in both. They are animated with but one desire—to make as big a Show of the wedding as is posible and, at all hazards, to be "turned OH” with a. sufficiently loud blast of trumpets. Doubtless these young folks perfectly understand each other and are quite content ‘tO wash out all the pretty sen- timenIt and reduce all the delirium of 111.31.213.13 passion to the most practical teI ms. But, all the same, we cannot but feel sorry that it is so, and 1eo11 et the romance that is dead. aw Dawn“ .21 E1... ’ H.
