XXV LOVE AND MOTHER LOVE                                         241
            Sex cravings and motherhood cravings.
        Pregnancy means health. Fear of pregnancy.
        When mother love is lacking.
        Frigid wives. Mother and father love.
        Mothers adore their sons. Fathers partial
        to daughters. The flapper and her
        mother.

   XXVI SHOULD WINTER MATE WITH SPRING?                              251
            Two disinterested brides. The case of
        Wagner. A parent fixation. Physical
        incompatibility. The plight of two neurotics.
        What will people say? Having
        her fixation-fling. Physical results. The
        fate of the younger mate. King David.

  XXVII NEGATIVE LOVE                                                263
            A "clean" life. Utterances and conduct.
        Oracles and prophecies. Can we
        save our vital force. Sublimation. The
        sexless. Ideal love. Protective measures.
        Lovers of the absolute. A troublesome
        patient. Higher aspirations.

 XXVIII THE NEW WOMAN AND LOVE                                       275
            George Bernard Shaw's view. The rebellion
        against nature. Woman in commercial
        life. Was it a sacrifice? The
        pursuit. The passing of respectable prostitution.
        The abettor of ethical sins.
        Health versus sickness. The passing of
        the flirt and of the doll. Modesty, old
        and new. The unadapted woman. The
        proud husband.

   XXIX BIRTH CONTROL                                                291
            What we expect of the modern woman.
        The only solution. The human milch
        cow. The nightmare of abortion. The
        plight of the neurotic woman. The child
        of the neurotic woman. Birth control
        and indulgence. A great love is a holy
        thing. The passing of the double standard.

    XXX THE PASSING OF THE HUSBAND WORSHIP                           303
            Is man's vitality declining? Undue
        pessimism. The wise husband. Is the
        male indispensable? Loeb's experiments.
        Twins to order. The mother is the
        race. Matriarchal communities. Modern
        woman is conceited. The terrors of the
        climacteric. Masculine man is in no danger
        of passing away.

   XXXI PERFECT MATRIMONIAL ADJUSTMENTS                              315
            Marriage a compromise. Attractiveness
        an asset. Forty and hideous. Athletic
        movie idols. The foe of married
        happiness. Friendship may survive love.
        Separate vacations for the married. The
        play function of love. Psychoanalysis
        to the rescue. Wounded egotism. Democracy
        in the home.
