Prospects of Spending Hard Winter
i'm Strange Land Didn't Appeal To
Them.
Thosands of Georgia negroes who
migrated TO the north and east soon
after the outbreak OF the war. lured
by high wages offered in industrial
plants. are returning TO Georgia and
hundreds OF others unable 10 make
the homeward tired because of lack
of funds, are sending appeals TO their
former employees for tickets on which
TO travel back TO Dixie. Stories APP
pearing In the Macon News from a
number of counties in central and
south Georgia chronicle the return OF
many families and appeals from even
larger numbers for funds with which
to return to their native homes. Vir-
tually all Of those who return and
those who are writing for funds state
that they have been thrown out of
employment and now find themselves
with the prospect of a hard winter
in a strange land. Returning ne
groes all tell the same story. The
high wages received counted for lit
tie with them rs they were more than
offset by the high cost of living in the
industrial centers TO which they went.
Practically all of them return to their
old homes penniless. glad TO have
saved enough from their high wages
to purchase the precious pasteboards
which meant transportation back te
the land of cotton, sweet potatoes
free quarters and free firewood.

MAKE WIFE HAPPY

do not think this Is the case where
a wife is made to be happy in her
surroundings.
For tho benefit of men like W.
H. A. II would be q blessing to have
this made part of the marriage con-
tract so the new wife will know
just what is eNpe Led OF her.
Verify 1 say unto thee, when
taking this man as your lawful
husband, you give up all the laws

all his commands, good or bad, and

1t is only the inhuman, selfish

more OF the female than the male

FIVE FAIL, FIVE
SUCCEED, SHE SAYS.

1t is q case OF afty-fifty whether
marriage is a success or failure.
Five fail, where FIVE succeed, and
after cisht years of married life and
about eight years single. I feel
sufficiently experienced to know
whereof I speak.
Even though marriage is neces-
sary as an institution. it is not es-
sential to the happiness of the in
dividual who will interest himself
or herself in the many interesting
things to be done in this big busy
world. Ny present contented state

world must go on, and / have too
many happily married friends to
say that it is a failure. think the
man or woman who finds the true
mate is happily married, and that
unless they do IL is very apt to be
failure.
Most women spend about ten years
of a perfectly normal life in hus-
band chasing, and then having
landed said husband, proceed to
spend the rest Of their lives in try
ing to hold him. These women
would not change places with the
contented class Of widows, who
grow fat and jolly, or the old maids
who wear an expression Of peaceful

against fate) for anything in the

about half OF them a success and
the other half failures. One will
say to me, II would not like to be
poor lonely woman like you"
Another, ''how lucky you are to
come and go as you please with no
one to say yea or nay"
Coming right down to facts, j
reiterate that the man or woman
fortunate enough to have found
the true mate, in every sense of the
word, has solved the problem. Only
a few married people are mated.
The rest are just bound together
by ties that are very irksome at
times. Tho birds of the field find
their mates instinctively, and as
they have no laws to bind them,
they depend upon being nice to each
other.
Would not such be an ideal state
with men and women? Then there
would not be any call for divorce
courts and some of the lawyers
would go hungry. The birds of the
fields are upselfish and if men and
women were the same and would
allow each to live his own life so
long az any act nc might commit
would in no way inture the other.
marriage would be a success nine
times out OF ten instead of hve
times out OF ten.

~ with regard to the number

All the afternoon parcels kept ar

with q joyful excitement that, for
the time being. made her forget
that she was an engaged girl. For
a few hours her uppermost realiza-
tion that her friends were glad
that little Bah Paige" has
birthday.
Daisy isn't it wonderful" she
exclaimed, appearing at the draw
. ing room door for the third time
in a half hour and holding out for
her friends inspection a five-pound
box Of bonbons bearing the name of
a certain fashionable confectioner.
Charlie Braisted sent them. He
must have ordered them from New
York. Aren't people good to me"
mot a bit better than they ought
to be-" her uncle assured her. But
don't you dare come into this room
yet. You are not to be allowed to
see the decorations Daisy and 1 are
preparing for this evening until
the job is completed"
But Daisy must have some of
these chocolates now" Barbara in
sisted.
NO, she mast notr' Daisy con-
tradicted. "They are for you, and
j am not dy-hungry anyway"
isn't 1t wonderful that people
are SO good to me?" Barbara re-
peated.
mot exactly wonderful" Daisy
teased, seeing that you are you.
Yet"-more seriously-"it is rather
remarkable for people to love n girl
enought to send her so many gifts
when they know that In a little
over month they will be sending
her wedding presents"
The words were spoken casually
enough, but the speaker was watch
ing her friend keenly. SO was Ar
thur Paige. Both saw the color
fade suddenly from face and lips.
NOT VERY ELATED.
without a word Barbara turned
away and went into the library,
where her birthday presents had
been placed as fast as they arrived.
A moment later she emerged ana
paused long enough to say duly:
"T am going upstairs to rest now,
Uncle, as you advised. II you want
me l shall be In my room. Just
call me-"
The pair left below waited until
the sound of the light football on
the stairs ceased before either put
into words the thought that WAS
uppermost In both minds.
Did you notice thatT" Daisy
asked breathlessly. II spoke As i
did on purpose. Mr.. Paige-be-
cause j wanted to see IL she had
not forgotten for a while what was
ahead of her"
"She evidently had" the man said
huskily. '1f you and I needed proof
that our ideas are correct--that
she is not In love with poor old
John-tho expression on her face
Just now would have convinced us"
Silently the pair went back into
the drawing room and resumed
