' H x NOVEMBER 10, K?27 Miss Flo's Corner A Question Box for the Ladies By MISS FLO PLEASE PASS THE WEDDIXG CAKE Dear Miss Flo: I am engaged to be married to a very fine young man. lie is very clever, and has all the fine qualities that are considered most essentia! in matrimony. But here is my trouble. When I ant with him for any length of time he begins to bore me. I don't know whether it is my tault or his but the fact remains that there art times v/hen 1 am frightened to death when I think of marrying him and spending the lest of my life with him. Then, if he is away from ms any length of time I get so lonely foi him I can't wait until he returns Do you think 1. love him? Can you tell me of some method by which 1 might determine my real s-entinients v for him? I don't know whether to J give him up or not. What do you (think??Isabel. I doubt very much that you love the man?although the statement that he possesses all the fine quali y wvo OU visavtiviui (II lil<UH(ii<JlltV would lend me to think that you do. Only peopie in love believe that of their chosen mate. I can't see how you can love a man who bores you. Possibly you admire all the splendid qualities he possesses, but there is a r world of difference between admiration and love?although admiration ?f and liking are fine substitutes for H love. If he bores you, my advice to you is not to marry him. regardless of Inline qualities. Boredom is the curse of matrimony. U is why husbandand wives straj from their fireside \}[. ?to somebody else's. It is impos^ aible to picture a happy fireside with a man ami woman who are so tired of each other that they yawn in each other's faces. The ideal home is the one in which a husband and wife never talk out? or if they do, they find a congeniality of spirit which enables thcin to 1 iy without saying a woi S 7 conient to be in each others company. The first thing a girl should ascertain about a prospective husband is | just how she reacts to an unlimited amount of his society, and just what o/?.t ..r ? .... 4i ??mi w ui ;? II lirr l.'i 1'Ullvci^Uk.lUll IHl'V are able to carry. Ho may be able jj to hold a wonderful line of conversation?with somebody else and so might she, but if they have nothing of interest to any to each other, the natural outcome is boredom. If you find yourself bored with his company before marriage, you should bo warned in time. There are many tests you might apply to ascertain whether or not you really love him. To begin with, if yon think more tenderly of him when he is away than you do when ; he is with you, you do not find hint really sympathetic and congenial when he is with you. If, on the other hand, you believe yourself in love with him when he is with you. and doubt your love when you are away from him,' he has a hysical fascination only. You do not love him with a love that wilt , lnsr What are your reactions to his ; \ conversation? Can you listen forever while he tells you how much he loves you, and how wonderful you are? You aren't bored then, are you, But when he switches the conversation to himself, and tells you how wonderful he Is, are yon bored 2 then? If you are, you merely like 5 him. It takes love?and lots, of it. S. for a woman to want to hear everything a rann thinks aliout himself. Do you worry about him when it B rains?and wonder if he will keep 4, his feet dry? Do you wonder if he fy is working too hard? Then, you love him. In your heart you regard him as your property?and there need be tBS no doubt in your mind about your ? sentiment for him. But the acid test?the test that proves beyond doubt that you have y picked him for a fireside companion for life?is when you prefer spending an evening at home with the man to have him take you out someV\ . whete. Perhaps these pointers may be of >. value to you in reading your own heart. I'd like to have a piece of fe the wedding cake. :i ^--EVANGELIST JIM GREEN QUITS M. E. CHURCH Ashevii'.e, Nov. 3?One of the sensations cf the annual meeting of the -Western North Carolina Methodist conference here today was the withi drawal from the church of Rev. Jim Greene, who has been active in evangelistic work since 1905. In a statement to the press tonight he explained that he holds Methodism in.very high regard and is staunch in his belief of its power for good, but suggested that he withdraw because of opinion as to the administrative policies. Announcement was made of the transfer to the conference of Dr. J. W. Smith from the Baltimore conference and Dr. R. S. Truesdale from the South Carolina conference. Ye Modern Fable "Isn't there some fable about the ass disguising himself with a lion skin?"

As regards business and prosperity, Secretary Mellon says there | is capital, in abundance, for all new ventures worth while, crops are good and automobiles arc expected to set [ new sales records.

You may reply to i questions about the business outlook , as followis: Nothing the matter, it i business does hot become afraid of its own prosperity. , Perry Thomas, ore of the oldest. most trustworthy engineers 011 the . New York Central, was soon to retire?as coon as he had saved a little more money. Bofore the lay came a head-on collision ended his life, and as he lay dying in the- hospital the old engineer, desiring to free everybody else from blame,.told witnesses the accident was his fault. ! He had run by a block signal in the j '<>*> Thi1- reminds the public bow much Thcv should be better paid than they are now. And they might well be retired on full pay. without waiting until age dims their- sight and' dulls their nerves. The public would bo willing to pay for il. At Omaha, Babe Ruth received, , as token of his greatness, an egg laid by Lady Norfolk, champion hen J of the world. It was the 170th egg laid or batted i out by that hen in 170 days Rutli 1 remarked: "A hail's egg fry the J river's brim, a simple hen's egg was | to him. and nothing more." a lid wont | on with his hatting. U would sarj prise the idol of America to know ! that such a hen as Lady Norfolk is i more important in the country than I all its baseball players. Reports from Maine, resolved oat here en the Jlojave Desert, indicate that voters mean to keep the direct primary system for awhile, at least. Professional politicians will not be able to ,'deliver" nominations in prearranged conventions. And poor millionaires, determined to be somebody, will have to buy the direct primary first, and the election afterward. Hard on politicians, who have less to sell, anil on office buyers that must pay high prices for ar. uncertainty. The American Public Health Association, gathered at Cleveland, is told that today's greatest cause of death is heart disease. And repeated i ; ? el...... 1. .. o j ;ia, auui ;?> (;uuimua i:uius, to which so iitile attention is paid, cause heart disease. The trouble starts often in childhood, with childhood's diseases, all of which might he avoided. This should interest parents of the dark ages type who think "the children might as we'll have measles and such little things first as last and get them over with." Tronto University proves that sunj shine will cure rickets, of which ntany children die. A German wrote more than 100 years ago, "God may forgive you for not giving to children bread that costs, money. But i He will not fonrive von for deoriv? ing tliem of fresh air and sunlight that cost nothing." To prove that sunshine euros rickets does not mean much, when millions of city children cannot have the sunshine. Power companies worth twentythree billion dollars don't want the government to harness the Colorado river. That might mean competition in the power business. Twenty-three billions is less than $230 per inhabitant of the United States, less than the price of a smell automobile. "Twenty-three billions" sounds big, but 115,000,000 human beings, all interested in the Colorado river development, possess power also. The Colorado will be developed and power gentlemen will be glad when it happens. Learned bankers fought the Federal Reserve law, dreading intereferenc ewith profits.
