What people call love is a disappointing thing, says Dorothy. Her key to happiness is friendship, which is beautiful and more satisfying. Dorothy Mackaili is one of the best-known and bestliked people in Hollywood. She loves friends, but she wants none of them to fall in love with her. WHAT LOVE MEANS TO ME as told by DOROTHY MACKAI LL to WALTER RAMSEY 1 THOUGHT I was in love . . . many tinies. I have been married once. So-called love has never left me where it found me — it leaves me sad, and a bit disappointed. Is it any wonder that I look upon it as I do? But I am presuming to criticize something that has always been universally thought to be the greatest of all emotions, and that is one thing I could never do but for one reason : I believe I can criticize constructively. In other words I can offer a remedy for those who have suffered at the hands of this thing called love. The answer is: Stick to friendship! |F COURSE I realize that such a bald statement requires a bit of amplification, and I shall attempt to give it to you. And if you have ever known love only to lose it, you will understand. If you have never known love, remember what I have said — it will stand you in good stead the rest of your life. At the beginning of my romantic experience I went blithely about meeting every new man I could, as very young girls do, hoping to find The Man somewhere among the lot. Some of them told me they were in love with me, and I thought I was in love with one or two of them. 48
