It k"es further a:ni complains that

Well, WK can't believe Jiere are
many women so narrow-minded and
so deficient in moral and political
acumen as the Kicker advertises

II tin' women who take an "inter

hopes and expectations they will not

MISS WYNNE ENTERTAINS
TWENTIETH CENTURY CLUH
On Wednesday afternoon at her
home on Main street, Miss Eva

"Early American Writers" which was
wry instructive and Mrs. J. W. Man
ning gave sketches of current events

of You", by Woodman; Miss Mary
Smith sang with much feeling "Loves
Way" and Miss Myrtle Wynne render
ed "Rose in the Bud" by Foster.
Aft or thr program the hostess serv-
much enjoyed.

Besides the members there were

Kiggs.jr., Mrs. Wheeler Martin, Mrs.
W. H. Biggs, Mrs. Oscar Anderson,
M rs. F. H. Robinson, Miss Mary
Smith and Mrs. Fay Wright of Wake
Forest.
UNCERTAINTY PASSING
The times recently have been like
sailing a ship in a typhoon, with the
mast torn away, the rudfter crippled,
the crew working frantically at the
pumps to counteract leaks that have
sprung in the hold. The crew has been
weary, confused, no one has seemed to
know where to turn, what to do next.
This explains the wide spread un
certainty, the epidemic of, "Shall I do
this, os shall I lose if I do?"
But the storm Is dying down. Land
is in sight. The ship will soon go to
port for repairs, a general overhauling
a new coat of paint, new masts, new
rldder, and then out to sea for an
other trip, all hands singing.
It is a beautiful picture. Also an
inevitable development. No storm can
last forever. With this one over un
certainty will vanish and confidence
will he restored.
And the change is taking place right
now. /
Be sure to attend the Tom Thumb
Wedding which will be field at the
school auditorium Tuesday night at
8 P. M. Fifty of Wllllainston's moet
attractive kiddies will be In the east.
The costumes are all ready made and'
are very stylish.
