, not change her husbanrs nature. 1t
will not make him a true and faith
ful husband. 1t will merely plunge
her into poverty. 1t will force her
to do without the comforts to which
she has become accustomed. 1t will
send her out in the world to join
those poor. ill-paid laborers who
must toll for a pittance because they
are unskilled.
And after all. love and romance
are just the icing on the cake Of
life. Underneath 1t are the sub
stantials upon which one can make
very good meal, If one can make
up ones mind not to pine for the
frosting. Morever. if a comfortable
home. pretty clothes. and an assur-
ed social position do not compensate
| for the lack of q domestic husband.
| they are at least a pleasing consola-
| ton, and the woman who has them
Is immeasuably better of than she
,, who has neither husband nor home
This argument against a woman
breaking up her home because her
husband has broken her heart is ten
fold more potent when there are
children in the family.
As long as the mother keeps her
| skelton closet securely locked and
herself out OF the divorce court,
she holds a roof over her children's
heads, she gives them the advan-
taSes of education, and a fair start
in the world which they would not
have IL she was separated from their
father, and she had dragged them
down into poverty with her.
Many a woman. who sees her chill
dren lacking the ADVANTAGES that
their father could have given them:
her boys forced out too soon to earn
their own living in menial capaci-
ties, her girls shabby and tired
standing behind counters at a time
when they should have been en-
joying society. must have thought
that she paid a terrible price for her
| divorce when she sacrificed her
| children to her own revenge against
the man who had wronged her.
The truth is that divorce is not the
cure-all for domestic misery that It is
advertised to be. and that SO many
credulous women believe 1t to be. 1t
may remedy one i'll, but It leaves a
most OF other aches and pains that
hurt just as badly in its train. One
OF these Is that the woman who had
| g.
manned married. with a husband and
home Of her own, finds as an unat-
| tached divorce she has no place In
the sun.
The very people who most urged her
not to stand her husbands conduc,.
and to leave the man who humilia ted
her by his flirtations. give her the
cold shoulder when she has taken
their advice. They are terribly sorry
for he, and poor dear, but this is a
selfish world. and we are all more
cordial towards the woman who can
invite US to her house to dinner. than
we are towards the woman we hav.
to ask to our house to stay because
she has nowhere else to 60.
Even ones own family is not over
enthusiastic about welcoming back
home the divorced daughter with her
brood Of children. They sympathise
with her. but they feel her a burden
just the same. Secretly we all have

SOLDIERS NAMES
ON CHURCH WALLS
THE CONGREGATIONS OF CITY
UNITED IN WORSHIP ON
SUNDAY NIGHT.

A patriotic note was given the
eleven o'clock service at the Method
list church Sunday, when Rev. T. H.
Thomson, in appropriate remarks,
called attention to a scroll containing
the names of the soldiers who rep
resent different branches of war SER
vice.
The scroll was designed by Mrs.
Sam Walden, of Savannah, element
airy superintendent of Sunday school
work in the South Georgia confer
ence. The original of which this is a
copy carried off the first prize at the
Southeastern fair in Atlanta. 1t
was the pleasure of Mrs. J. G. Parks,
Mrs. c. A. Harris and Miss Hornady
to make this gift to the church in
the name of the Missionary Society.
1t was the wish of the donors to in
clude the name of every Terrell
county soldier, but the design of the
scroll made it impossible. Mrs. Wal
den charges only for the material
used, donating her artistic work as a
patriotic service to her country.

shipped together at the Methodist
