Screenland (May-Oct 1941)

I II am like that. We like to enjoy home." Right or wrong, it was a surprising bit of news concerning herself, but unaware of this, she went on. "But perhaps it is not I right for me to talk so much about love. It's nobody's business when somebody is in Move. And maybe somebody else don't know what to make of it. It's not like two and two make four, but that two make one. You see, love isn't sensible, you can't figger it cut. And you can't put it on ice to keep it fresh, or fix it like an automobile tire if it j blows out. You have to be in love to talk ; ;ibout it from the inside. Me, I'm not in • love now. But one time I am, and I get so j jealous when the man he look at another woman that I want to shoot him. Then I I am afraid I keel the man, so I break our engagement. What you think of that?" I ■ could only think, without saying so, that 1 the man had got a break. "Maybe the Latin man, too, when he is in love, is more jealous than the North American man. I thinkso, perhaps. Anyhow, he talk about it all the time. If the North American man he don't speak about it always he know just as much about love. Never have I seen any man in love who can't say what he wanted to say, except he is stupid. And if a girl -he loves a man she loves him no matter what he say, just so it makes a leetle -ense !" As to the relative sincerity of men and women who are that way, Miranda hesitated to say : "Women in love are more sincere — perhaps. This is so because a woman she always know when it's the real thing. Maybe the man he is never sure. Either he's swept off his feet, or he can't make up his mind. But the woman you can't fool her. She knows. She has to. But men are not more deceitful, if you mean what you call the two-time. If it is real love, then both the man and the woman Flowers do in gardens grow and mighty pretty, we all know — but — who can keep their mind on pansies when Mildred Sellers is around. See "They Dare Not Love." they can't tell something untrue because it isn't in the heart. All the same you have to understand that love means so many things, changes and sacrifices, and if people they know this they don't want to be dishonest with each other. The man and the woman wants to be noble and good together. Their influence on each other is what vou call feefty-fecfty. Sometimes a woman make a man deceitful if she is a tool. But the smart woman knows how to hold her man — unless he is a fool, and then he is not worth keeping. If he is just a leetle foolish, oh well, maybe she kick him under the table when he fl'rts with a girl in a cafe! Of course, if they're married, it's a sure thing. But if they're not married maybe she flirts a leetle, too. These are secrets of women. I don't have to tell them — they know already. Even the Eskimo and the Chinese know, I think, just because they are women. I wouldn't insult your North American women by pretending to geeve them a tip on how to handle men. They are so smart, so chic, how can I tell them ? Maybe they can tell file! Anyhow, I learn something from them. They are perfect — their manner, their poise, their beauty, their intelligence — wonderful ! And, you know, a clever woman, an intelligent woman, can make a man fall in love with her. A stupid woman, N-O-O-O. How to do it — well, this depends on the man. An intelligent woman would know just what to do with him. A foolish one couldn't be taught. That's her hard luck. Because everybody know that love is the greatest thing in the world. Even the popular songs say so. But the happiness love brings can be found only by intelligent and considerate people. Fools don't even know what to look for. so how can they find it?" Stuck for an answer, I offered a cigarette. "Thank you veree much, but I don't smoke," I was surprised to hear. "And," even more surprising, "I don't drink. You know why? You kees a man and you smoke and it spoils the flavor. And if I drink it make me sleepy and I miss all the fun !" At that (it may have been the magic of Miranda working its spell), Cupid packed up his arrows and called it a day. Why Can't ALICE FAYE Find True Love? ONE GIRL who ought to be happy is Alice Faye.
