‘Do yon love a beau¬ 
tiful woman?’' 
Are You in Love? 
W HAT a silly question! Of course 
you are. Everybody is. With men 
it’s a fad. With women it’s a regular 
life job. Falling in love is the oldest of 
the recognized indoor sports. How old is 
it? Well, a wise old Buddhist who sat all 
day with his legs and fingers crossed— 
said that it was older than the hills— 
older than man. He said that the big 
lizards used to feel it—also the sponges 
and the little invertebrate worms. 
And the greatest love of all is the love 
of SELF. This is a truly wonderful love, 
because it never wavers, never changes, 
never dies. And then, look how cheap it 
is! If you happen to love a beautiful lady, it immediately 
runs into theatre tickets, taxis, bon-bons, suppers, night-letters, 
gardenias. But if you love no one but yourself you are sav¬ 
ing money, every day—every hour. 
Whom Do You Love ? 
"D ATHER a hard question to answer, 
that. Hard because folks love so 
many different kinds of people and 
things. But most people (no matter how 
mean and selfish and nasty they are) 
love some one. Some men love a blond 
and blushing debutante with long, curly 
locks. Some women love a pale musi¬ 
cian, with a porcelain brow and a black 
tawny mane. Some folks—nearly all of 
us, in fact—love a smiling old lady, with 
white hair, a wrinkled forehead and a pair 
of funny gold spectacles. Some love a 'A little dark girl at school” 
wild boy at college; some love a dark little girl at boarding 
school—while some misguided people spend all the wealth and 
bounty of their love on a mere motor-car, a stuffy club, a 
picture gallery, an inbred dog, a gloomy library, or a sillly 
bag of golf clubs. 
A Potion for Love 
T HE sordid part of love lies in the way 
that folks try to bribe it. They know 
that men and women are human—that their 
love can be bought—or commanded—with 
gifts. Now here is the greatest wonder of 
all — a thing more miraculous than love 
itself. It is that there is one thing that will 
pry love out of anybody. A sort of uni¬ 
versal, modern love potion. It is really 
twelve things in one. It should be ad¬ 
ministered along about the first of every 
month. It works just as well with young 
“It works well with girls as with mature women; with college 
young girls” boys as with grown up married men. It 
works with debutantes, artists, writers, old ladies (with those 
gold spectacles, through which there gleams that saintly look 
so peculiar to mothers), motor cranks, dog fanciers, book¬ 
worms, plethoric club-men, futurist picture buyers, and even 
with the most hopeless golf perverts. But (and here is another 
miracle), it also works with the vast and swarming army of 
people who love nobody but themselves. Indeed, it teaches 
them to love new gods, to be untrue to themselves; to love 
gods that are really worth loving. 
Are You a Lover? 
I F you are, and if you aren’t ashamed of it, why don’t you get 
into step with this spirit; remove two of your favorite dol¬ 
lars from your little roll, and give the object of your affec- 
tions (even if it’s yourself) this modern love potion. Send / 
along those two miserable dollars of yours to 443 Fourth ^ 
Avenue, New York, and secure Vanity Fair for her, or / 
for him—or for your selfish self—for the rest of 1916. / ^ 
P. S.—For the few benighted souls who may still / C> t 
be lingering in outer darkness, let us say:
