w. L. George, Writer,
Tells The Married Folks
How To Be Happy
English Feminist in First American
Lecture on Love and Marriage"
(New York, Oct. 29)

W. L. George, distinguished English
novelist and feminist, in his first pub
lie lecture in America, at Aeolian Hall
last evening, talked so wittily and
pithily on Love and Marriage that
he kept his capacity audience cen
stantly chortling and appeared to
bring husbands and wives listening
to him into a more good-humored un-
derstanding. His chief solvent for
being happy though married" was
to bear in mind always that marriage
means a constant courtship even after
the wedding ceremony.
Marriage is the natural state of
man." he said. 1T is the only insur-
ance against loneliness. Celibacy isn't
the ideal state. A celibist is another
name for hypocrite and a liar. New
ertheless, marriage is a delicate ma
chine that requires a technique and
an art of its own to run it satisfac-
torily. The most important thing for
husband and wife to remember is
that marriage is a continual court
ship.
"The husband must remember to
say to his wife at least once a day,
4 love you, in one form or another.
recall watching man harness his
horse one day while his wife looked
on. Without any preparatory remark,
he turned to her suddenly and said,
I love you The wife said nothing,
but she smiled-that was enough. And
the wife must bear in mind to say to
her husband at frequent intervals,
How strong you are! Or, if he's too
small to justify that, she should say,
How clever you are!' We can all
stand for that.
They should both treasure up some
idea to bring to the other at the end
of the day. That's why it has been
my experience that most unhappy
marriages are traceable to men. They
forget that their wives at home have
a more restricted sphere than they,
and unless they bring some thought
to trigten up their lives the wives
grow dull And dullness is deadly
to a happy marriage. It's the con-
slant study of another personality that
stimulates one. The ideal marriage
is one in which both parties think
constantly how to give a fuller life
to the other.
When a man marries he believes
it's time to settle down. When a
woman marries she believes it's time
to have a livelier time. But both must
eschew adventure And one must for
give till seventy times seventy. Stored
up venom leads to unhappiness.
'If you both have any irritation over
habits of the other, make out list of
those qualities, have a friendly con-
ference and exchange criticisms. May
be you don't like your wife in blue;
maybe she doesn't like you to sing
in the bath. You may both deny these
charges. but little by little you will
find yourselves giving up the offend
ing traits"
In answering questions which he
invited the audience to ask afterward,
he defined love as "the maximum
physical, intellectual and aesthetic at
traction" Frank Crowninshield, edi-
tor of Vanity Fair, in introducing the
author. said that as soon as a man
started to study woman, that meant
he would marry her, and acknowl-
edged that was why he never had stud
led any.

tonight declared "the prospects of
Governor Cox carrying majority OF

are growing by leaps and bounds
IT have come back from the west"
he continued, with deepseated be-
lief that the west and middle west
have started an overwhelming swing
of the pendulum. Upstate New York
is beginning to fall in line. The pro-
cess has been with us, perhaps, little
slower, but it is under way without
doubt and in communities where up to
the present time there has been dis
tinct apathy on the part of the voters
Republicans and Democrats alike, they
are coming forward to accelerate the
swing"
Mr.. Roosevelt's address here today
closed a two days campaign through
the southern tier counties of the state
and in it he pleaded for the reelection
of Governor Smith and the election of
Lieutenant Governor Walker as United

LITTLE RIVER COUNTY
WINS MANY PRIZES
Little River County Walks Away with
104 Prizes at District Fair at
Texarkana,

Little River county people walked
away with one hundred and four priz-
es at the district fair at Texarkana
last week, sixteen of them were first
prizes, fifteen second, and seven were
third prizes.
Little River county took the second
prize on all general display of exhibits
at this fair. It was beaten out of first
by an excellent showing from Polk
county.
Westley Quarles took first prize on
a Poland China sow under one year
old. Wesley's SOW has made wonder
full record, which is as follows:
The SOW weighed "a pounds when
purchased by Wesley Quarles, and at
the end of the costest it weighed 800
pounds, making a total gain of $50
pounds. The contest was 217 days,
making the SOW gain 1.6 pounds per
day. This is quite a gain per day for
a hog. 1t is hard to believe that a
hog could gain 1.6 pounds each day,
but under the cares of this young hog
grower it has been done.
The list of the winners can not be
published at this time, but will be pub
lished as soon as the list of winners
can be completed by the fair authori-
ties at Texarkana.

tory of the fair, and was attended by
