POSITION AS LURE TO GIRLS
Readily Why Some Marry
Without Love.

Some people cannot understand how
love, Olive Higgins Prouty writes in
the American Magazine. She can do
it more easily than she can stay at
home, watch half her friends marry,
and feel herself slowly ossifying into
something worthless and unessential
1t takes more courage to sit quietly,
wait for what may never come, and
observe without misgiving the man

r
Meran. A favored garden
spot of earth, an ancient Roman out
post where legionaries stood guard
against northern barbarians and
where Caesars sought to regain their
dissipated health, Meran has main
tanned through all it's checkered history
high reputation as a pleasure and
health garden, and as a resort for rank
and fashion, says the bulletin of the
National Geographic society. This pic
turesque Tyrolese city, banked around
by lesser Alps, has been a favorite
wintering place for wealthy Ameri-
cans, number of whom have pur-
chased villas here and some of whom
have become permanent residents.
Considerably more than 10000 guests
sought Meran each year, many, nomi-
nally, fol- their health, but most for
the beauties of climate and surround
ings and for the light gayeties of the
fall and winter season.
The counts of Tyrol, the noble fam
lily from which the region took its
name, long made Meran their resi-
dence. The much decayed castle of
Tyrol, the original seat of the FAMILY
overlooks the town, and the mountain
shelves and cliffs through the neigh
borhood are crowned with many other
ancient castles and fine chateaux.
Meran is the first town of the upper
Adige valley. 1t is AZ miles south
southwest of Innsbruck and 20 miles
northwest of Bozen on the Bremen
line The rugged Kuechelberg lies
behind it and all the hills beside are
covered with miles of arcaded vine
yards. Delicious grapes and wine are
the towns most famed products. A
grape cure is one of the attractions of
the place, while the climate draws
many suffering from lung troubles.
Normally, Meran's season begins in
early fall and lasts through to the end
of spring.
italians Love AquiIeia.
Aquileia, one of the first towns cap
tured by the Italians in their storm
across the Austrian borders at the
head of the Adriatic, stands foremost
among the Austrian Italian-speaking
possessions in the sentimental attach
ment OF the patriotic sons of Italy.
Situated six miles back from the Adri-
attic sea, at the edge of the lagoons,
in the Austrian province of Goerz and
Gradisca, it was once a great and
fiourishing seaport, at one time rank
ing as the second city of Italy. 1t
was. in those days, one of the might
\ - ID afrsa
against the pressing hordes of outside
barbarians, city of proud walls and
wide bespoken splendor." AS late as
the end of the fourth century Ausonius
placed it ninth on the list of the great
cities of the earth.
Today Aquileia is a mean, poverty
marked, dwindling fishing village,
with few thousand inhabitants. The
wonderful structures of its heyday
have served for centuries as stone
Quarries, and nothing now remains OF
their fabulous splendor. Aquileia, re-
gal city of the empire, and later great
seaport and industrial city, has van
ished, in all likelihood for good. There
remains from it's golden days merely
a heterogeneous mass of relics, statues
mosaics, columns. friezes from its
parks ana buildings; lamps from its
once famous factories, besides many
homely survivals and nicknacks.

CROSS HILL NEWS,


Cross Hill, Feb. 21.-On Monday,
14th, Mrs. A. r. Austin and daughter,
Miss Kate, gave their Sunday school
classes q valentine party. Among the
interesting games and enjoyments Of
the afternoon were the following: AS
each one entered the room name was
given him, pinned on the back, SO that
1T was unknown to the one bearing it.
The interest came when each one was
to guess his name from some related
question or remarks. Washington,
Lee, Wilson, st. Valentine, Joan Of
Arc, Cupid, Caesar, and other prom
inent historical characters were the
names given and the guessing brought
pupils.
At five o'clock all repaired to the
dining room which was lighted up by
candles. They assumed places around
the table on the center Of which was a
large heart cake. At each place was
bunch OF violcts One end Of a piece
OF red ribbon was tied to the flowers
while the other was connected to q
paper heart under the cake On the
paper heart was Il number Each drew
a heart and as his number was called,
cut slice OF cake. In The cake were
dime, ring, a thmblc, and q but
ton. The test was to sec who could
get one of these and 50 decide his or
her fortune. These together with 9TH
er similar cnjoymcnts rendered the
two hours spent with their teachers a
very pleasant occasion.
Friday evening the Cross Hill lodge
of knights Of Pythias held their an
nual banquet. The preparation for
this had been made by members of the
School Improvement Association. A
splendid meal of various kinds Of de-
licious catablcs, prepared by hands
who know how to tempt the appetite
and served in courses, was enjoyed by
the large number present. The Knights
were we'll represented and with them
q large number OF invited guests, maxi
Ing total Of 20 or moro, besides The
ladies who were in charge. The ban
quet was served in the school audi
torium, in the midst OF beautiful
decoration Of flowers and cOlors, and
under the inspiration OF delightful
music. Chancellor Commander Grady
Culbcrtson. was master of ceremonies.
DIR. j. ii. Miller and Prof MaXcy Han
nah, responded to the call with short
talks. Capt f. II. Evans Of Green
wood was then introduced and spoke
some time for the Order Of Knights
touching upon its purpose, character,
etc. All the speakers were profusc
and generous in their compliments to
the ladies who prepared and supcrin-
tended the banquet and at the close
vote OF thanks was rendered them.
