Smith TO GIVE PARTIES
AT Home ALL WEEK
No Idea Of Going to Wash
ingtOR Now.

Atlanta, July Ex-Governor Hoke
Smith will resign the governorship
and go to Washington and take up his
duties as United States senator when
he gets good and ready, and not be-
fore. That is perfectly clear now 10
everyone. Governor Smith is exactly
in this mental attitude. He will go
to Washington to begin his senatorial
duties if imperative need for his vote
arises
Otherwise he will stay right here
in the executive office until the legis-
lature adiourns, and perhaps until
December, as he first announced.
He has left matters open, so he can
stay or go just as he chooses, and all
the talk and clamor in the world Will
not move him from that position. He
is obstinate when he thinks anyone is
trying to drive him, and he plants
himself firmly, even pugnaciousIy, il
necessary, and declines to bulge
AS very clear indication that he
doesn't plan to turn loose any time
soon. it is announced that he will hold
legislative receptions at his West
Peachtree home throughout next
week. Each night he will have TWEEN
ty-five to fifty members there for an
informal evening.
All of his family is away, but the
Legislative affairs will be pleasant and
informal in every way
This scheme vetoes any story that
He will go to Washington next week.
AS a matter of fact he has not the
slightest intention of doing so now.
Marion Smith, his son, is in Washing
ton, keeping him posted as to devel-
opments there.
1t may be said that Governor Smith
does not place much weight to the
plea of Senator Martin, titular head
of the senate that he Smith, is
needed in Washington now
AS a matter of fact Governor Smith
and Senator Martin belong to diffe.-
ent political schools, and it will take
more than Martins statement to make
Governor Smith believe there is any
actual need for him in Washington at
this time.

The Tragedy of Too-Long Engagement.

| that crosses their path they behold
through green eyes.
Each one is forever suspecting the
other of growing weary and of want
ing to call the bargain off, and it gen
orally ends in all good truth in both
parties growing deadly tired and dis
enchanted. They have seen too much
of each other to have been able to
keen at the high tension Of lovers, and
not enough to develop the comradesnip
of husband and wife. Each has tried
TO boss the other without the author
ity and privileges that matrimony
gives. and somehow between them they
have torn the rosy chiffons of court
shin into tatters.
AS a matter of romance, as well as
common sense, six months is the limit
Of an engagement, and three months
is better. for the long engagement
makes for nothing but disappointment
and heaItburning5 and anxiety ana II
rubs the gilt off the ginger bread OF
matrimony as nothing else does.
Far better is it for a man to pick
ont the woman he wants at the time
he is ready to marry her than enter
into long contract to take an article
that may be shop worn and damaged
goods and concerning which his taste
has changed long before he gets it
# is true that Jacob served ana
waited twice seven years for Rachel
but in those days men weren't re-
stricted to one choice in wife as they
are now.

NECK finish FOR
FALL and WINTER
Newest Models Cut Up to
Base Of Throat.

New York, July 22.-Paris models
for fall and winter already fill the
thoughts of the woman who is not
content to let a sartoTial tomorrow
take care of itself While there is the
greatest attempt at secrecy, hints do
leak out now and then. Just received
is a bit of intelligence concerning the
necks of the newest dresses Whether
OF cloth, velvet, satin or silk, they are
cut quite up to the base of the neck
This will be an unpleasant matter 20
many a fair one who purposes making
over a dress of yesterday. But even
such a dress may be managed, unless
it is cut too low, for there is a trim
ming of lace to soften the abruptness
also to cover the piecing The waist
part of many of these new models is
being cut in the familiar kimono eff
feet, though one great house is going
in for the bell sleeve.
These sleeves are half and three
quarter lengths, as a rule, though
again an innoyation-some few are
being made long.
New Neck Finish.
To return to the neck question, the
dresss is cut quite up to the base Of
the throat and is bordered with cream
or white lace, which appears to be
turned back. This is not done so
much for trimming as to soften the
abruptness from the deep color to the
hue of the skin.
Another point, the dress fabric is
here made separate from its lining.
The Paris dressmakers have a great
preference for this idea.
The Net Stock,
AS for the stock it is of cream or
white net, in harmony with the tone Of
the lace and it is attached to the lin
ing. This net collar may be unlined,
and at the most it is lined with sheer
est chiffon. This net stock should
show as little work as possible; a bit
of hand stitchery at the top at the
most. Its supports should be as invis-
ible as possible, too.
Between this white net stock and
the dark dress the lace over the edge
OF the dark material makes a pretty
and softening connecting link.

(By Dorothy Dix

How long should a young couple be
engaged?
Just long enough to get we'll ac-
quainted with each other and not Ions
enough to wear off the romance.
The couple who meet on railroad
train and step off at the first station
and get married are not more foolish
and do not stand less chance OF hap
piness than the couple who are en-
gagged seven years and who drag their
love affair out until it is so attenuated
that it breaks when the first strain is
put upon it.
A man has no business to ask girl
to marry him until he is in a position
to name the wedding day, and the girl
is a fool if she accepts it and ties her
self down in a bargain that is bound
to be a losing one for her.
Also Affects Il Man.
Nor does the long engagement work
out any more happily for the man than
!, does for the woman. Some OF the
most pathetic tragedies in the world
have been the result of boy who Is
starting out into the world to seek
his fortune binding himself to marry
some village sweetheart.
He went his way. He developed. lie

and sophisticated women who were
the fitting mate for the kind Of man
he had become.
But he had tied a halter around MS
neck when he had engaged himself 10
the little girl back home, and it drew
him back to his doom. In all honor
he felt that he was bound to marry the
woman who had waited for him ana
who had thus cut herself off from
marrying anybody else.
He would sooner have gone to MS
own funeral than to his wedding ou'

If You Own Cows

1t will not only be interesting but it
will be profitable for you to read that
little national dairy magazine, Kim
balls Dairy Farmer. 1t is published
semi-monthly at Waterloo, Iowa, the
hub of the great dairy region of the
central west. 1t is ably edited, well
printed on good book paper and hand
somely illustrated by actual photo
graphs taken exclusively for it. Its
purpose is educational and to the man
who would make his cows yield larger
profits, this little magazine is indis-
pensable. Regardless of how many
other papers the farmer may take, this
one is worth many times its price to
him. The subscription price is only
30 cents year, and the paper will
positively be discontinued at expira
ton. Send for sample copy.
