The Symones are very wealthy
people, Harry Symone having been
very rich from birth and his money

years of his life.
He has never done a bit of work
and when he married he naturally
married the richest girl in town.
Dick and he have been very good
friends ever since college, where they
roomed together. Harry is a good
fellow, but have often thought he
was not a good pal for Dick as his
ideas of the value of money are
naturally false, and as for Mrs. Sy-
none, do not think she can conceive
of living without a great army of
servants to attend her every want; a
house in the city and in the country
and every wish gratifed.

and that she would be glad to live
more simply if she knew how.
After dessert she and l left Dick
and Harry in the, dining room and
when we were seated in Eiene's own
little Dubarry sitting room she looked
up at me pathetically and said:
Margaret don't, if you care for
your happiness, fail to have family.
The only outlet for wonan's great
loving heart as she grows old is
housefuI of children. Harry is good
husband, as husbands go, guess, but

Just then we heard a loud laugh
come from the dining room.
There you see they are having
better time without us than they did
when we were around.

lieve that men like US. They love us,
they admire US, they respect us, but
they don't like us. When they want a
good time; when they hunt, fish, or do
any of the outdoor stunts they con-
slider manly they are bored to death

yacht and yet am good sailor and

Now, Margie, take heed from ex-
perience and understand that there is

Vigorous Opposition Made Before

The hearing before tine Railroad
Commission Monday on the petition
Of the Georgia Railroad to discon-
tinue two of its suburban trains and
to quicken up the schedules of two of
its through trains between Atlanta

GUS and outspoken opposition
The attendance upon the hearing
was so heavy that it became neces-
sary to vacate the usual audience
chamber Of the commission and to re-
pair to the Senate chamber of the
State Capitol
Not only was great objection filed
by many patrons of the roads now
served by the suburban trains. but at
practically every point along the way
from Atlanta to Augusta, where reg
ular stops are proposed to be aban-
doned by two of the big through
trains. objections to the proposed
changes were filed.
Opposing the DIRECTORS, however,
were numerous delegations favoring

the most part from the towns not cut

but the commission listened to much
eloquence both ways.
If any alteration in the program as
proposed by the road is made by the
commission it likely will upset the
entire program, as the new order Of
things has been framed to meet At
lanta and Augusta connections which
can not be met. if the running time
between the two terminal points on

while many others were present from
points along the road.
