of leadership and better farming
and home-making.
The course this year, July 25-30,

made in order to give the mem
bers opportunity to be in the cap
ital city over Sunday, said L. R.
Harrill, club leader at State Col
lege.
The style show Friday has been
included on the program to give the
girls a chance to show what they
have been doing in clothing pro
jects during the past year and to
learn what their fellow members
in other parts of the State have
accomplished.
The selection Saturday evening
of the State King and Queen of
Health will be one of the high
lights of the short course. Enter
ing the contest will be boys and
girls who won the various district
championships for their superior
physical and health qualifications.
The classes and demonstrations
are held in the mornings, with
sight-seeing tours, rest periods, and
recreation featuring the after. -
noons. The evenings are enlivened
with entertainments, singings,
plays, and other social activities.
A picnic, band concert, commun
ity sing, and the awarding of cer
tificates of merit to deserving club
members will round out Sunday af
ternoon. The vesper services and
candle lighting ceremony Sunday
evening will bring the short course
to a close. '
V. O. Sipe of Catawba county
says he will have 3,000 bushels of
peaches to market from his 40-acro
orchard near the county home.

IS IT "UNTIL DEATH DO
US PART?"
Dear Girls:—
One reason for the many di
vorces in our country is the atti
tude of the people before they are
married.
For instance, I, not so long: ago,
had a very attractive young wo
man working for me. S'he was
pretty and accomplished but was
not what one could call a deep
thinker. She had married when
almost a child and was later on
divorced from the man, who had
proved himself unfaithful on nu
merous occasions.
One day, as she came in the
room, she said in a most casual
voice, "I got married last night."
At first I thought it a joke but
she convinced me it was true.
"Do you love him," I asked, be
cause I had never heard her speak
of the boy with any enthusiasm.
"Oh," she repiled, "I'm not crazy
about him like I was my first hus
band, but we like the same things
and get along pretty well so I
thought we might just as well get
married." She didn't have t 0 add
the unspoken thought which was
in her mind that if they couldn't
get along she could get a divorce as
she did before.
What an attitude to have toward
marriage. When one reads the cere
mony carefully and seriously con
siders the "til death do us part"
and "for richer, for poorer, for bet
ter or worse" passages they are not
inclined to take s 0 sacred a step
in so casual a manner.
Divorces leave their scars and
although in some cases, they are
the lesser of two evils, the victims
lose something by such a process.
If each young man or woman
knew that there was no release
from marriage, once the ceremony
was performed, I believe they
would be more deliberate in their
choice.
Matrimony should not be con
sidered a short adventure which
ends when one party or both tires
of it.
Yours,
LOUISA.

Fads, Fads, Who Follows The
Fads?
Most fads are foolish, mere
passing fashions. The skirts of wo
men jump up and down, accord
ing to the dictates of that tyrant.
Dame Fashion. The Scriptures tell
us that "the body is more than
raiment" but fashion decrees that
raiment is more than the body:
for, when she decrees that the
waists of the women must be small,
even though nature has built her
0 n a generous pattern, she squeezes
herself into an instrument of tor
ture known as a corset and makes
herself appear as slim as possible.
Even at the risk of health or mod
esty many women follow blimMy
the prevailing styles.
For several years the "IV.male of
the species" has been ardently
courting the kisses of old King
Sol. This has developed into such
a mania that girls go out in open
boats on the water without hats,
or sit in the broiling sun at mid-day

until many of them are actually as
dark as mulattoes or Orientals. In
fact it is sometimes difficult to tell
t 0 what race some of them belong.
Brunettes when young often look
'quite well with a light coat of tan,
but blondes never. The Titan type
with fair thin skin and red or gold
en hair, should endeavor to shield
the face from the summer sun. It
brings out a crop of ugly freckles,
and burns her hair until it takes on
dirty slate colored shades. The
blonde has naturally a delicate skin
that wrinkles and crinkles more
quickly than that of the brunette.
There is no uglier type than the
burned, blistered blonde whose
complexion has taken on a weather
beaten, coarsened appearance from
exposure to sun and windr It ages
her -many years. Unfortunately,
once having ruined her cmoplexjon
she can never restore it to its pris
tine beauty. The middle aged wo
man only invites wrinkles and an
appearance of toughness and age,
by acquiring a coat of tan.
