Macon, Nov 20.-'Thc Georgia Bap-
list Convention which ended it's 9Sth
annual session JUS before six O'Clock
last night, put the stamp Of approval
on the orthodoxy OF President A. w.
Vanlloose of Shorter College and al
so approved the orthodoxy of the in
Stitution, but declined to take Shorter
into the Mercer educational system
Shorter's entry was shelved by the
convention for twelve months.
Under the action of the convention,
Shorter College is TO receive "desig-
mated" funds during the as million
campaign; that is the funds that the
donors designate shall go to that in
stitution. and percentage OF the to-
tai funds raised shall be set aside
for Shorter should the institution be
taken into the fold of the Mercer ed
ucational system one year hence. The
action provided that designated"
funds shall count in the quota of the
churches where the gifts are made.
The action of the convention did
not follow the course OF the recomend
alton of the committee, although
friends of Shorter believe it will have
practically the same result. For time
yesterday afternoon during the debate
it looked as if the convention had tied
itself into knot from which it could
not be freed in connection with the
Shorter College matter. The skill OF

A young woman writes me that
she is going to marry a soldier who
has been stationed in a camp near
where she lives. The soldier swears
that he loves her and she thinks
that she loves the soldier. but the
thing that troubles her Is that her
fiance has not given her an en-
gagement ring. And sne doesn't
know whether this is because he
can't afford to buy an engagement
ring, or doesn't believe in engage
ment rings. or is just plain care
less about such matters, and the
girl says she doesn't feel as IL she
knew the man well enough to ask
him such a personal question as:
why don't you give me an en-
gagement rins?"
Couldn't you weep barrels Of tears
over a case like this? Here is a girl
and there are plenty just as silly
geese as she is--about to take the
fatal step that there Is no retracing,
and she is taking 1t in the dark with
her eyes shut tight and fast. She
doesn't even make an attempt to
find out what sort of a road she is
electing to travel. or to get lam
tern to light her along its dan
gerous way. She just plunges for
ward without counting the cost and
trusts to luck.
The perpetual mystery of the
world is the lack of thought, that
women give to marriage, and yet
marriage makes a woman's heaven
or hell. II a man makes an un-
fortunate marriage he has pa1lia-
tives on the outside. He has the
perpetual interest of his business,
and il things are too uncomfortable
at home he can get into some sort
of occupation that takes him away
from his own hreside most Of the
time.
A woman has no such resources.
The four walls of her home bound
her horizon and within them she
must fnd her happiness or her mis-
cry. She cannot go traipsing around
the world in pursuit of undomestic
pleasures. She must stay on with
her Job OF wife and mother.
And marriage is for such a long
time. when you think Of sitting

of listening to the same voice for
nearly half a century; OF bearing

"THE GIRL OF THE GOLDEN
APPLE"
BY EDITH HYDE
A woman's hands are to her
thoughts what her face is to her
emotions. Hands many times con-
vey more meaning than words. The
ability to use the hand gracefully
and effectively is purely q matter OF
training and cultivation, possible for
every woman whether the form OF
the hand itself Is beautiful or ugly.
The first and most important thing
about beautiful hands is, of course,
immaculate cleanliness. Cheap alkill
soaps will ruin the most beautiful
hands. With q good soap and soft
warm water. the hands should be
lathered thoroughly. the nails brush
ed. and II necessary to remove stains
or CRIME that the soap will not re-
move readily. a little lemon juice
should be used. Then a few drops
of perfumed glycerine should be
poured into the palms while they
are still moist A dash Of talcum
powder when the glycerine Is halt
rubbed In has a very softening effect
This treatment should keep the aver
age hands in perfect condition.
Gracefulness of gesture must be
cultivated. 1t is the result of abso-
lutte control Of movement. No
grace is possible in the hands from
which the nervous tension cannot be
withdrawn at will. Even an angular
hand loses stiffness when relaxed in
repose. Cultivate the ability to de-
vitalize the hands and allow them to
repose. Gestures should always pro-
ceed from the body outward. Move
ments which display effort are de-
void of dignity or grace. Don't take
things from people, learn to receive
them gracefully.
Some women have perpetual mo-
tion of the hands. In the privacy OF
your room break yourself of such
