She Married An AverQee Man

For two weeks I have made no en-
try in my diary because my life was
too full. It seems to me as If l have
Crammed a years living into these
fourteen days, so swiftly have events

woman who writes these words is
not the woman who so lately lived
gently and uneventfully in a Center

Let me try and set things down In
order.

settled In our little apartment. Thanks

can see from your letter that you
would be willing to have a reconcilia-
ton. A lawyer might help you to
bring it about.
Dear Mrs. Thompson-I am a girl
of fourteen and am in love with a boy
of fifteen. He said he loved me very
much, and has until he started to
high school. There he met girl
who tried her best to separate us and
was successful. Now he speaks, but
that is all. love him very much and
cant give him up. Will you please
tell me how I can gain his love?
BROWN EYE SUSAN.
1t seems to me blessing IN dis
guise that the boy has ceased to care
for you. You are too young to care
so much for a boy and will be better
off in the end if you have to wait a
few years before boys take an inter
est in you. Do not be so bitter to-
ward the girl. 1t is not her fault that
the boy likes her. There was a nat.
ural attraction between them which
neither of them willed.

terry to me.
I believe 50 per cent of married
couples would be able to make a sue
cess of the life partnership If, to q
certain extent, they preserved their
individual rights, thoughts and pos
sessions.
Now l come to the most unpleasant
feature of my life here-Charles Bel
ton. 1t is an unfortunate thing when
a wife cannot be in harmony with her
husbands business life. That IL, when
she feels he is erring in Judgment,
yet is powerless to correct matters.
Jim says I am 'prejudiced and I'm
aginative" when intimate that Belton
is an undesirable partner. both ineffi-
cient and untrustworthy.
From the first Bolton has made COW
ert attempts to interest me personally
When we lived in Centerville this
not only annoyed me and outraged
my dignity as wife but 1t frightened
me as we'll. But New York has
changed my viewpoint in many ways

even the unpleasant ones.
Now, instead Of fearing Charles Bel
ton and his sneaking. oily overtures.
laugh at him. Mirth destroys his
plans where my anger would only
strengthen them. | no longer avoid
him; I merely laugh.
But there is one thing have made
up my mind to: If l cannot make Jim
understand by mere words that BeitOn
is a menace in every way l shall
show him.

A NEW ENTERPRISE,

In certain sections of the county
housewives have learned that
special precautions must be taken
to prevent the theft Of copper kct-
Ties and boilers. Since The country
went dry these are in q al demand,
and many have disappeared. In
fact, in certain sections but few
such vessels are now TO be found.
One housewife on AnthOnyS Crccl;

under her bed. and has managed
so far TO save il.

A VITAL NEED,

Elsewhere we publish a letter
worth your reading. You may not
like some of the things said. But il
should interest you, for il is from
the pen of one Of our own boys.
He has lived among us, and he has,
| at times. lived elsewhere. He seems
to have observed and thought. BE
assurd, since he says the things he
does about his home town. there is
some foundation for his criticism.
The editor of the Independent
has suggested to a number of the
business men of the town and coun-
ty that we are ncglccting our young
people. He believes now that the
time has come for the real Samari-
tan form of religion.
The Y. NJ. G.. A. has a social work
program that it desires TO carry out
in this county. 1t has Sene ut inter-
| two secretaries here to try to inter-
est us in the movement. They have
received no real encouragement.
One Of them made the statement
that he was told here that the y. VI.
e. 4. is not Christian institution,
and that, seemingly with the person
who held that view, ended all pos
sibilities of its doing good. We are
not going to quarrel with the per-
son who was being quoted, though
we might suggest that some of the
noblcst, most helpful Christian
spirits of the nation have given
their lives TO the Y. NJ. G.. A work.
But the point is, here we had a real
program for reaching out after the
young people and organizing their
play spirits. and experimenting
their social relations and activities.
Call the organization that does that
sort of thing properly by any
name YOU please, or call any
name you please. what's the differ
cncc? The point is: what arc VIC
doing for our young people?
Here in Lewisburg we don't have
man who has interest enough in
the boys to act as Scout Master.
There is no social center. There is
no place for recreation except the
moving picture and the pool room
! and the stores and livery stable.
Boys and girls cant be expected TO
twiddlc their thumbs all the time.
Social intercourse is essential, and
pcnt-up energy will find an outlet.
| The problem is 10 so direct the play
spirit that il will make for manhood
J and wOmanhOod.
What we say above and what The
! young man says in his letter will
| apply equally we'll to every com
munity in the county.
If the churches will take The mat
ter in hand, well and good. But il
they will not then The good men and
women in the church and out of The
church should take This work over
and provide ways and means. I'hc
boys and girls of the community
are It's most important asset. 4
community may, by its negligence
and indifference. convert this asset
/ into n liability.
