DP_ FHAXK CRAKE HAYS
Selective Affection Is Boot
The old dispute between true love
and any other kind of love dates back
as far as Wagner's operas, and far-'
ther.
Lord Lytton said something some,
where to the effeot that If a man truly
loves a woman aU other women are
slightly distasteful to him.
There are two kinds of love In the
world?selective affection and the oth
er kind.
They can.be distinguished as much
as anything else, by their associates.
Selective affection Is the companion
of all the virtues. It goes with honesty,
honor, loyalty, and every commend
able characteristic.
That affection that is felt for just
anybody la a law breaker. It makes
nothing but trouble.
Of course the greater Includes the
leaa, and selective affection may in
clude all manner of desire.
But there Is something character
istic (if true love' that Is essentially
different from any old sort of love
It Is true love, that Inspires and
actuates the greatest achievements,
not miscellaneous attractions.
The human race has experimented
a good many hundred years with va
rious kinds of affinities, and iMs se
lective affinity that has stood the test.
It is that which every young man
or woman feels with the advent of
the right mate. There Is something
about It that excludes 'all other af
fections.
It is not enough to ask yourself
whether you are affectionate or not.
It Is also necessary to Inquire of your
self whether this affection Is con.
lined to one person. It is not any
sort of love that is the basis of the
right marriage, but It is loyal love,
and the more loyal one la. the great
er his love becomes.
There is the same difference be
tween true love and other kinds of
love that there is between a tower
and weeds. One Is a cultivated plant,
and it is that for which the garden
was made. Hie other is an interloper
and does nothing but drain our re
source*. jf >
One is an Inspiration constantly,
but the other does nothing but leave
ns bankrupt of desire.

rHE TUESDAY AFTEBNOOJf BOOK
CLUB
With most pleasant memories of our
meeting with Mrs. Scoggln In our
thoughts the Tuesday Afternoon Book
Club was glad to meet again on Sep
tember 28th, at 3:30 p. m.. This time
our hostess was Mrs. R. C. Beck,
whose bright and genial manner
makes It always a -delight to be her
guest
The program for the hour was full
of interest, and one to inspire a rery
pardonable pride in what some of our
American women had accomplished
In the world of art
First was a sketch of Rosa Bon
beur by Mrs. M. 8. Clifton, which was
charming. The wonderful portrayal of
nature in Bonheur*s art challenges
the admiration of eVeryone, and its
revelation of her real love of animals
makes its own appeal.
A reading by Mrs. Mills of Sallie
Farhmqfn's art was most throughly
enjoyed. A paper on Women Sculp
tors of America by Mrs. Scoggln was
full of information, and gave unquali
fied pleasure to alt
The musical feature of the program
was delightful. We are familiar with
Miss Rosalind's skill as a pianist, but
this time her rendition of Ballade No.
2, Liszt, was especially beautiful.
Our enjoyment of Miss Gilbert's
violin was a new delight, and for theI
two numbers. "From de Can-brake," >
Gardner, and "Pleadings," by Jefferson '
Walters, we give our appreciative1
thanks.
Mrs. Beck's delicious refreshments
gave a touch of material enjoyment'
to the hour, which all most heartily
approved, and we adjourned to meet
with Mrs. S. P. Boddie October 12th
