STlje Sails PLHEET. SUNDAY MORNING, APRIL, 14, ISrS. Falling in Love. An Analysis the Beglnnin and afflicts tfae Tender Passion. From the Saturday Review.

Among the events which people seem agreed in regsrdjn as hopelessly rnyate rious, falling in love holds a eonsoicaous place. When a young woman passes into this condition of mind, her most intimate friends do not venture to explain the occurrence. Brothers and sisters view with speechless wonder the new phenomenon. Even parents and married friends are considered rash if they attempt to take a vnatter of fact view of the case. Personal appearance does not appear to assist oue in understanding the mysteries of this process.

Married sisters and annts habitually look at the event as having a inscrutable character. Of course, there is a difference in the wonder of the personal relatives and friends, correaiKinaing with the diner ence of iheir experience. The married friend sees nctbiug in the mere fact of falling in love, viewed in the abstract the is only at the particular direction of the fill in the present instance. Tbat is. to say, she is at a losi to account ier her friend's particular selection.

Younger and unmarried friends strain, especially junior sisters, regard the whole event with a mixture of corioeity, awe and tender emotion. Very likely they themselves have acq aire i a kind of reflected sentiment toward the hero of he hour, and thus they are able imaginatively to view the situation with some amount of intelligent sympathy. The most perfect form of amazement. however, is exhibited by the unmarried male portion of be nappy person's circle of friends. Married men may, in view of such ocourrence, be more attected with cynical amusement than with wonder but the untried bachelor feels himself completely staggered by the spectacle.

Unlike hia young sisters, he is not accustomed to an imaginative construc tion of the occurrence, and when the mischievous Cupid wills that his brother or chum snail undergo this mental metamorphosis, he lapses into impotent bewilderment. Tfle sight of his former companion at the club or the theatre precipitated into a condition of servile devotion to what appears to htm an ordinary pretty woman fills him with blank astonishment. If he is of a reverent orn of mind, he may possibly experience a thrill of awe in presence of a secret which, he has not yet beenpar mitted to fathom. More probably, hair. ever, he will regard the event as ro sultof a temporary mental 8ibrratioE.

Only in this way will he be, jie to fit it into his conception order of the world. While the experience of falling in love is thus Regarded with wonder ab extra, it i apt to excite a scarcely less degree "of this emotion in those who are its conscious subjects. The practical young man who has just passed through this novel mental condition probably reviews the process with considerable astonishment, lie quite at a loss to understand how it happened. He feels himself entangled in the soft silken meshes, yet he cannot explain to himself how he came into the situation. If he theorizes about the matter at all.

he will probably hold that he was coerced by some supernatural force, or, to express it in his own plain English, that he couldn't help it." Very different is the feeling entertained on the occasion by the sentimental young woman. All her as4v fMininif onH Kcatkita hava YiAna.i'arl VB41J au.aAAAJ 11 MM UJV her to veil the experience of failing in love in an impenetrable obscurity. 8he has for years looked to this hour as the culminating paint in her existencs. A sense of the mystery pervading this subject has gi ven perhaps a certain timidity to her bearing. And when the dimly anticipated occurrence actually takes place, she is placed iu an almo3t overwhelming sense of its profound A consciousness of being the subject of something like a supernatural influence gives her a new sense of dignity.

She feels herself raised by an immeasurable interval above the crawd of common place mortals. The feeling of having been called to undergo so rare and strange an experience is apt prompt inconvenient demands upon others. The favored person naturally thinks that the attainment of so mysterious a knowledge entitles her to anew kind of respect with its accompanying servicas. It i carious to note the difference in the pertinacity of this feeling of mystery in the case of the two persons concerned. While the young man usually finds it easy after a time to look back on the occurrence in a very prosaic manner as the result of an action which is chiefly dis tinguished trom others oy its special ae of the young woman continues to cherish an unassailable belief in its inscrutible and supernatural character.

ven after years of neglect and harsh treatment might have shown her that there was anything but divine wisdom controlling her choice, she cIidst to the idea that some beautufel and hcentinnuence really superintended the process. Though the process of filling in love is thus veiled in a mist of romance, more especially by the female mind, traces of a more matter of fact conception of the subject are not wanting. Even the most enthusiastic believer in the sacred charm which encircles this Bestion of human life is apt to betray at times a certain amount of ordinary common sense in relation to it. Thus, the ardent young lady in her teens who ro nances on this theme shows clearly enough that she id familiar with some of the natural conditions of the experience. She Knows, for example, that there are certain circum stances peculiarly favorable to failing in love; ana tne teeiing ot aire with wuich she customarily regards the possibility of her own case grows into a visible Hat ter of excitement when she is packing up for her annual visit to town during the season, or lor ner summer trip to the sea side.

So, too, she is able to pea ft; with cocsiaeraDie minuteness uetorehaid as to the qualifications of the particular person who is to be the instrumeat of brinpmg about the miraealotn event in ner own case. Alter it nas taken place and she begins to reflect upon its Chirac ter, her attention can hardly fail to arretted bv bow of the natural intlu ences which have oo operatea bring aDotit me strange issue, llenca it happens that married women com vmonly preserve, thoir fith in the supermundane nrnre of this exoe 'rience more through coascion resolve than tbrouzh complete laaennbilit.v to its natural aspects. Ia the views of thi subject entertained by the oMwr sex coalmen 661353 Klleotion pJayea a more prominent part. Even the eomsTfuaj indolent wav of account iar for ihd Dhe nomenon which is resorted to by those who refer it to a temporal mental criza indicates an approach to the ejieatmc point of view. The matter of fact method of looking at the subjBctis psr haps needlessly emphasized by thoie who are able to regard themselvsa ai secure from the contingency.

Elderly spinsters and batchelors proverbially rvuiaawo xancies oi xo verj. To them the mystery of being in love resolves itself into a mixture of youthful conceit and folly. Yonng people, according to these sentimental observers, yuunge into this condition partly because it Is a pretty allusion to fancy oneself suddenly elevated into a region of pojwca! dignity and bliss; partly be avtse the allusion enables its objects to reelect obvious social duties and otlend Vi a vw aha iiii ia iai 1 it fVwJ Though, illa tTfPfold wy of looking at tne process of falling in love is reflected in the more thoughtful discussions of the subject in literature. We do not refer to the quasi moral observations with which the popular novelist is accustomed to intersperse his description of love affairs. The rhapsodical outbursts on the eternal mystery of love, and the dry, cynical observations on its evanescent and illusory nature, to which one is accustomed in the pages of the modern novel, do no doubt illustrate tbe double point in view yet ttey can hardly lay claim to the title of serious reflection.

Much more remarkable is the appearance of these conflicting views in what may by courtesy be called scientific literature. Science is commonly supposed to render things simple by showing them to be natural. Yet writers row and then venture to specu 1 ite about the every day event of falling in love, as though it presented some peculiar and impenetrable mystery. Thus the tLeorv of the sexual emotion put forth by Schopsnhauer and his follower, HartnmBBn, raises it out of the category of. ordinary events.

According to these teachers it is no effect of natural causes, but a direct interference with the order of phenomenal nature and the mysterious revelation of a supernatural principle. Tho mental experience of Jailing in lsve appears to them to resemble the kind of mental transformation known among certain religions Fects as amtden conversion, in so far as it is one of the very last events to be dealt with by the scientific method. One peculiarity of the case is that there takes part in the process a deeply rooted inbtmct which seems to lie outside our consciousness, and to exercise on it something analogous to a coercive influence. Another difficulty in the way of conceiving this experience as a natural one arises from the great variety of individual taste in such matters. It is often quite impossible for the most intimate friend and closest observer to specify all the influences which have combined to bring about this state of mind in any given instance.

Yet this does not hinder us from supposing that the process is always at bottom a perfectly natural one. One circumstance of the case which seems to be commonly overlooked is the special predisposition to the amatory sentiment which shows itself in certain stages of development and in certain transient moods. It is not too much to say, perhaps, that most people fall in love at a given time because of special conditions of the moment. If A bad not presented himself or herself as an object for the impulse, or would probably have sufficed. This way of locking at the matter will no doubt appear shocking to the romantic mind, yet the idea seems to have a firm Bubstratum of fact.

It would ba interesJlDa to know what part the. process of falling in love is deetjnd to play in the future history of XPfenkind. A review of the past, de velopment of the custom, from primitive times to' our own enlightened age, suggests the reflection that it has tended to oecome a Biower ana more cuus jiuuo operation. It is not many people who now tumble suddenly and recklessly into this condition of mind. Culture seems to have the effect of transforming the process of falling into one of sliding.

To refer again to a somewnac analogous experier.ee, culture seems to make less frequent both sudden forjes of falling in love and. sudden conversions. And this change is plainly dua in a large measure to a growth of volitional force. All falling in love is, of course, the direct effect of an involantary and emotional impulse vet a negative ast of will may, perhaps, be to be involved in the non repressioa of impulse. As people advance in intellect and character the ascend ency ox tne will increases, ana tne amatory sentiment is only allowed to at tacn ire ell to an object very siowiyanu after the fullest critical investigation.

It is not necessary to adopt the ultra prosaic supposition that sexual selection will ever become a purely voluntary action. It is said that more and mora persons now marry for definite objects, such as wealth, social position, or domestic adornments; yet the normal mode of selection is still held to inelude the plav of an instinctive emotion as well. What the higher culture seems 1 9 do, over and above strengthening the controlling power of will, is to make this emotion more reflective and salf con scious. PeoDle learn to understand more clearlv their own feel i ner and tastes, and to know beeter beforehand what kind of object is likely to salijly them. The emotional impulse now shows itself as a conscious wish to possess un object of a certain t'efinite character, fctill the actual cor centiaii of a strong affection is a procea tbat sees outside the will, though the will may be said to approve of it in a new scnee when its result is recognized as agreeing with a pre existing wish and desire.

We hardly think, then, that there in ground for the cynical prediction that falling in love is rapidly becoming an obsolete custom. The experience will probably crow less violent and catastrophic in rs character by being brought into closer relation to the intellectual and volitional parts of the mind. And tbe6ame influences which bring about this eflect will.no doubt tend to tone down people's rapturous faith in the occult ana transcendent nature of the The Vacant Stall. On a recent Friaay morning the atten tion of the stroller through the French Market was arrested by lie unusual ap pearance ol one of its many stalls. copied bv a poor woman who eells vege tables, ami flanked on either side by stalls of flower dealers, oa the day iu nneBtion ibis stall was vacant.

Oare lnlly 6wept and cleaned, its narrow corn nays contained oiiiv a wnie eartueu candle stick, wherein stood a lighted candle, while abave it from a pillar in the market hunt; a rosstte of white crape. Icqniry reveaAea the fact that tbo woman had lost her little child, and according 10 the custom of the market, had placed tliebe emblems of mourning upon tier stall. It wss indeed a touching sight. The rooe stall, in its dress of woe, quiet and still au id tee busy, bu uoff throng.sug vested the vacancy in he heart of that humble rco'her, weighed down with her heavy sorrow, unknown, to the restless world around her. The and bright flowers on the adjoining stills seened a ti ibute to the little one, and the pasfcing breeze wafted their pertum aionnd where it had so of ten baa its tottering footsteps.

Fitting picture of life. But a few days ago ana that mother's darling rejoiced her heart as it prattled at her knee while sl. tended her stand. To day its voiceishusiied in death, its infant eyes closed to tbe bright flowers and cay san bLice. that mother's smiles.

Bat around tbat now balloei spot the ccaself 53 course of life runs ou as yes UrrJav it ran, and as it will raa tinor row. In a few 6hort honrs this paasine, chancing multiiuae will have gone, ti: sun will Lave set noon another day. the candle on the stall will have burnt out in thfc socket and given place to the Btais of heaven the noise and clatter of the market house will have baan hutLed, and the only sound around will be the plashing of the broad Missis iiopi against the bank as ifc whirls and rushes on to the Gulf. Then will that somw nnrsing mother find solace in sleep, and in her dreams hear again the voice of her little darling and watch again its unsteady footsteps and, when her dreams are ended, she perhaps will long for that sleep which, waking it to immortality, will restore to her her heart's treasure in that blessed abode where the sunshine never pales and the flowers never fade.
