HI 1 IBS ME Clrcpi)vil!c News. One of the Greenville furniture r haii a display in its win dow-- last week that stirred a yiot d of memory and reflection. |n one wirdow it presented in ac curate and simple detail the bed mfim of twenty year.-, ago. In another i- showed the luxurious am! regal splendor if the kind of bedroom that many of us enjoy today, to some extent or another. The contrast was remarkable. ■ \v"R the old iron bed whose plating had worn off, showing fit ,dent snlotches of the raw ii-oh. Hoisted high in the air by p»iv ed, unboxed springs and a fluffy mattress was the place where' we slept. It wrs an un jfotlth and unsightly bed hv com naro-on with those we sleeo on > but it was comfortable. And it'resuscitated tired and honest parent* who knew the meaning of “home.” Over in one corner was the w: J 'tapd Wha differentiates th» old Tom The n»w so much as tlie wr-Marid? It. has marked a trat' ition in human affairs ns -g*l” *• .’e of th« great bat tle? of the world. Of course the ' mil'an old howl and nitehor graced this antiquated niece of fr-nititre: And on the rack above was a towel. The bureau in another •corner was just as old-fashioned but it did not recall the past as vividly nor as touchingly a? the wash-stand. Nor did the unadorn ed, well-used rockers that looked as though they had giver heroic service rocking the children to 'teep. Modernization of the home ha?, not gone forward rapidly enough to outlaw remnants of those furnishines. What pave momentum to mem on- was the cradle ard the kero senr .lamps. It was plain little cradle made before the days of glossy and veneered furniture. To ry to summon the past eomplete ly, the decorator DUt a doll in the cradle. This collection of furni ture was nothing more than a mass of wood and steel and cloth with <>•-* the imagination to recall Ihose who had lived among these things. F ,here were those who looked on without that imagina tion, the}- saw nothing but. obsoles cence in the oil lamps with their smoked chimneys. “Two looked out through prison bars, one saw mud, the others stars.” It was the kind of window thaj made one stop and th’nk. And the window on the other side with the delicately curved furnitwre and the soft, inviting decorations hrought forcibly to mind the fact that we have slowly evolved from the primitive to the palatial in our home surroundings. Yet few stopped to look long at the window. They nassed most of their time at the other one, noting each of the time-stained articles and con hiring from the past the as sociations they themselves had had With similar bits of furniture # A severe indictment *f our marvelous mechanical progress and our widely disseminated com forts is that there has been a spiritual retrogression somewhat in the same proportion. The thought must have come to those who looked at these furniture win dows that in spite of the contrast of present home comfort-s to those of only a few years ago,, "' ini' riua come to mean an en tirely different thing now from ti'er.. For no matter whether the furnishings be rich or poor, home s essentially a spiritual shrine. Mahogany and plush cannot breathe “home” into a palace where the real meaning does not exist in the hearts of those who ilve there. Perhaps that is why j the French people have never had lr) their language a word to cor respond to “home.” Their nearest approach is “foyer” meaning health.” VVe do not draw enough h’-t notion between “home” and house,” when, as Edgar Guest s-.w, “i. takes a heap o’ living in a house to make it home.” Such an improvement in the lot °f people should be accompanied <' "Uer.t'nent and companion hip. \et that has not been the re alt. The old furnture has gone tid with it has gone many of the raditions that held the family to gether. The radio and the phono faph have helped to reunite i... ,l,t still it looks too much for its ‘tuusement and enjoyment on the 'Utside. That is a paradox for the 'dosophers: we made our homes comfortable and the family has °ns outside to seek pleasure. Per ,R: s the era of progress has neg ted too much the human soul. -aitimore Loses First Cage Game staying at Marion Wednesday 'uKht the Lattimore high school luint lost its first game of the sea !')n to Marion by the close score >f 23 to 20.

In jai! with two women begging for his hand in marriage! That is the situation facing A. C. Dellinger, alleged Mann act viola tor and seducer, in Mecklenburg I county prison to await trial in fed ] eral court. I Matters were bad enough for j young Dellinger, said to be of a ! prominent Mecklenburg family, j when there was just one girl on his trail, but now there are two. Girl Proposes. 1 One of them, a Charlotte girl he is charged with transporting to Greenville, 8. C., for immoral pur poses and who was responsible for j his arrest under the Mann act, vis ited him in the jail yesterday and proposed marriage to him, accord ing to no less an authority than 3. McGinnis, deputy sheriff and jailer. Mr. McGinnis said that hp went up to Dellingers’ cell with the pret ! ty brunette and heard it himself. Dellinger did not appear to be enthusiastic about the proposal for ' the immediate future. He was quot ed as saying that he would marry her but not “right away.” i Mr. McGinnis, having visions of a jail marriage between the two, i began to think of the other woman, who Dellinger is charged with hav I ing seduced under r-romise of mar ; riage and the two children of whom ; she claims the accused is the fath er. He called Magistrate S. A. Man gum before the common law wife had sworn out the warrant and asked for advice. Mr. Mangum was not the least bit enthusiastic over the prospect of Dellinger marrying and forbade the marriage uhless he posted an additional SI,500 bond on the seduc tion count.

Hipps, 82-year-old man who pleaded guilty to a charge of bigamy because he thought sev en years’ separation automatically divorced him from his wife, is awaiting judgment of Judge Thor. J. Shaw, presiding over Buncombe county Superior court. Years ago, when he was a young man, Hipps told the court, he mar ried Sally Wells in Mrdison county. After she suffered a stroke of par alysis the two became eat rang? t and finally separated. Woven years ef loneliness proved too much for th old man, he said, so lie decided to wed again. This he proceeded to do, he said unconscious that he was violating the law. His seven years of separ ation ho declared, he thought auto matically divorced him from his first wife although he had never bothered to ask legal advice in the matter. A short time ago the old man’s second wife., wh obeforc her marri age was Amanda Banks, of the Big Ivy section, discovered he was wife number two, and that her pre decessor was still alive and not et'( n divorced. She immediately swore our a warrant for Hipps, who told his strange t lory in court.

C. -1-Sc DROP THE “OBEY” AND MARRIAGES WILL BE HAPPIER, ADVISES “MARRYINGJ5QUIRE” AFTER performing more than gOOO marriage ceremonies dur ing his 30 years as a "marrying squire.” Justice of the Peace David Bruce Deem, of Poplar Bluff. Mo., admits that he knows far less about marriage now than he did when he first became a justice. "Originally I had fixed ideas auout marriage." he says. "1 would have eliminated divorce entirely, and would have changed the marriage laws so that no one under the age of 21 could get mar ried under any circumstances. "Every year I find that my ideas have been battered down by the conditions which have confronted nu* I take great pride in marrying a couple that I think will make a go of it. and hesitate greatly where I fear the opposite but the more experience I have, the less certain I am that any of vny ideas are right, or that anyone can foretell the out come of a it srriage. ' “Many of those couples whom I. In fear and trembling, so to speak. Joined in marriage, have surprised me by making a great success of the’r venture. And others, where .’I indications had led me to be confident that they would have a happy married life, have speedily wound o;> in the divorce courtr. So the judge admits he c.jcon t know whut the answer. But as Jiuls« David Bruce Deem has one or two strong convictions, gained by bis long experience. Not one of the many couples he has married—the number, to be ex act, is 5285—has been rajut ited to ‘‘obey “ In every ceremony he has performed JudoC Deem has left the word cut. “It's the bunk,” he explains. "The idea of making them swear on oath that they will obey when we all know they won’t. Anyhow, I don’t believe in the master and servant idea of marriage.” In fact, he goes even farther on the subject of “obey.” “One of the chief causes of di vorces is that one of the contracting parties wants to be boss,” he says. '‘Instead of a partnership idea, which should be at the bottom of every marriage, the ‘master and servant idea is developed One wants to be boss. The other ob jects. Arguments develop into hatred—and then comes divorce" Judge Deem warns prospective brides and grooms against expect ing perfection of one another "God doesn't make perfect men and women, and the sooner every one finds it out, the belier," he says. < Here are a few of his suggestions for happier marriages: "Don’t both get antary at the same time. “Don’t nag. "Don’t argue. Even when you ' know you art- right, it pays to ad mit you are wrong “Continue to treat each other 'just as you did before y<,;u weie j married. * “Petting parties has i band and wife make hcyit3 boner.” 4f you have not renewed your sub scription to THE STAR, all we ask is that you pay Tor three or six months if it dees not suit to pay a full year at one time. -FAY SOMETHING We foe! that you wish to read THE STAR and we are willing to continue ycur subscription provided you pay something in order that we might be able to meet ou:: operating expenses.
