the ripple of a rounder I'm parting the veil, and going be yond; Leaving all atoms of which I've been fond. In an hour or more, a guy with a tape. Will measure me up, and blue-print my shape. Injecting some dope, to make me look sweet; Then a cedar chest. Au revoir. Tweet, tweet. I'm flying around, and looking at me, Pathetic'ly pale, in my lingerie; It's a beautiful box they've laid me in. And hypocrites gather with tea and grin. But a few old pals, say "The poor old scout; Let's drink his health," And they're counting me out. When 1 was alive, I dodger'd around, And often stepp'd out, on forbidden ground, For the safety signs meant nothing to me. That's why I've arrived the place that I be. But I lautrh, ha! ha, for I'm positive, I did some living, while I did live. HAROLD C. BROWN, B. D? "The Wayside Poet." Mrs. Edw. E.

Headers desiring a personal reply ton oddreu Mum Flo, in earc of I hit newspaper. IS SHE TOO "MODERN" TO MARRY? Dear Miss Flo: I am in love with a dear iweet girl, and 1 iihould like to ask her to marry me. But lately the has confessel that ? he drinks now and then and imokes an occasional cigarette. Also that she deosn't mind kissing a boy if she likes him awfully well. She uses all sorts of make up. My mother tells me she is entirely too artificial and sophisticated to make a good wife, and that she hasn't a sincere senti ment or a real thought about her. 1 have asked her not to be so wild, but she says my point of view is the bunk. Under the circumstances ! do not see how we could be happy ? yet I can't seem to gire her up. ? Jerry. I believe it. would be best, if you try to take a reasonable view of the modern girl's attitude toward life. Try to be tolerant, sympathetic. Give and take. Live and let live. In the first place, when you haven't the courage to ask her to marry you, you haven't the full right to criticize her actions. And in the second plac.e the artificiality and sophistication which deters you from asking the girl to marry you is undoubtely an acquir completed. Mr. and Mre. E. C. Mallonee have leased "Th? Maples" the apartment house of Mrs. Lelia Dickey, near the L. & N. Depot, and moved into it this week. They will take boarders and have apartments to let. Mrs. Dickey, since acquiring the property from Mr. Allan Fain, has completely renovated, repainted and repaired the house, and six new rooms have been added and private and connecting baths install ed. Mrs. Dickey will occupy her resi dence in East Murphy now being va cated by Mr. Robert Alston, who will occupy the apartment vacated by Mr. and Mrs. Mallcnee. Toby's Place wan the scene of an* enjoycble dance Wednesday evening. Music was furnished by the Skillet I Lickers. Miss Kathryn Thompson and Mr. James Ferguson attended the New Year's eve ball at Cowanee Club at Copper Hill as guests of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Barclay. Mr. Horace Verner and Miss Nancy Hedden of Wehutty were mar ried by Mr. T. N. Bates at his office on January 4th. Mr. J. C. Cain and Miss Nellie Parker, of Atlanta, were married at the office of the Carolina-Tennessee l'<I pose and only a surface affliction. I As to the make-up which you find so [distasteful ? it is to be the fashion nowadays to lend to Nature an assist ing hand ? and goodness' knows she often needs it. A little rouge, powder, and lipstick aren't always an indication of quality of character or whether or not she should make a good wife. If you will explore her mind and her heart, you'll find she is just as moral and just as honorable as the girl of other genera tions who con sidered it immoral to powder her nose, who blushed at the least provocation and who never kiss ed a man until she was engaged to him. The kind of girl who does these things and admits it is the very one to whom it means nothing. She is usually the one who wants most to be happily married, and who dreams of a little house and family. It's not the madcap girls you have to watch anyway. It's the over-punctilious, terrifically proper ones. And I'll wager that once you have taken your courage in both hands and asked her to marry you, and you have slipped the ring on her finger, you'll have no need of worrying about her liking other boys too well.
