IT'S said that three Of the most
charming young ladies in this town
will shortly enter the sacred bonds of
matrimony. The happy young men
who will be the ''other half of these
fair damsels are all well known and
liked by all. :

1t is thought that E. j. Baxter will
lead to the altar in about two weeks
some fair one. Can any one tell us
who it is?

Had we never loved so kindly,
Had we never loved so blindly-
Never met or never parted,
We had ne'er been broken hearted.

A young girl should not begin to &C
cept attention from young men until
she is eighteen years old. Until this
age is reached girls who are properly
directed don t go out into society. but
continue to attend school OF college to
fit themselves for the duties of life.
1t a not be denied that many q moth
er is sadly to blame for allowing her
daughters liberties which they them
selves regret as they grow older. Such
a woman takes foolish pride in the fact
that her immature daughters are pop
ular with men, and are constantly
sought, and she forgets that she is thus
allowing the tender buds committed to
her charge to lose their first dainty
freshness before they have a chance to
expand into the bloom of perfected
~womanhood.

How to Keep a Husband at Home
Evenings-Do not scold him because
your work has not gone all right. He
is not to blame. He also has cares.
Let there be two ounces of good ma
ture and cheerfulness two unces of
smiles and sunshine two ounces of
laughter and mirth two ounces of
daily gossip and news. Mix this with
five ounces of love, two ounces of
kisses, with one pound of old fashioned
counting. Throw in his pipe and daily
paper, and you'll have your husband
home every night. OF course, in the
application of the recipe in Jonesboro
the paper that would most completely
give the required finish is the Herald
and Tribune.

1t is a shame to any mother who fails
to train her daughters to take a serious
view of life instead of a frivolous, sell
fish view to remember that their
highest duties, whether they be mar
ried or single, is to be home makers.
A great writer on this subject has said
wherever a true wife comes, this
home is always around her. The stars
may be over her head the glow worm
in the cold grass at night may be the
only fire at her feet. But home is yet
wherever she is. and for a noble wo-
man it stretches far around her, better
than coiled with cedar or painted with
vermillion, shedding its quiet light lar
for those who else were homeless.

The engagement ring is worn upon
the same finger as the wedding ring,
and after the marriage is worn as a
guard to it. The solitaire is always a
favorite, but the range of STYLES and
prices is wide, and the girls fancy and
the youth'spurse may combine to make
any ring proper. As to wedding rings,
the square and round mes each have
their admirers. A wedding ring with
sharp cut edges fits snugly, but being
worn constantly will make in time a
callous spot at the base of the finger,
which is anything but beautiful. A
ring with all round edges render this
impossible, and is more comfortable TO
wear, giving with every motion of the
finger.

In this country there is a pleasant
freedom allowed engaged lovers. They
ride, drive or walk together unques-
toned. Her engagement is one of the
most charming experiences of a girls
life, and she is wise who will not let it
be cut too short. The length of an en-.
gagement must depend mostly upon
outward circumstances. 1t is only a
journey, of which the end must come
sooner or later. A month or six weeks
is not too short if such q time is found
best, and there are couples who have
waited seven years to see their hopes
realized.
