EARLY Welded LIFE

A. l crossed the street and walked
aimlessly through the shop where

me that I couldn't whimper TO Jim

Then IL occurred to me that IL
might be a good Idea TO drop In at

drama OF the screen.
Carrying out my idea before the
impulse died / hurried into a motion
picture house that was near by.
The auditorium was dark. as the
feature picture was already on. But
the usher who piloted me down the
aisle In the little circle OF light his
electric torch made. assured me
that the picture hadn't been on five
minutes.
~ In a minute or two l got the
thread OF the story and sat watch

to see Virginia only a ftw seats

and forgetfulness. l had an inn

Is Marriage a Success?

made a greater effort to get along
amicably instead of parting because
of some trivial disagreements. But
/ think the real trouble Is that this
is the age of Jazz" and the remedy
must begin at home.
Married life can't be a succession
of dances and shows, and IL the only
subject of conversation before mar
rage has been love Gas is often the
case in sudden courtships), the two
unfortunates will find very little in
common for their everyday life and
clashes are bound to come. The
girl will find that the man who mas
spent most to entertain her so law
ishly has hard work providing her
daily bread and the man will find
that the girl who can dance SO d.
vinely is a mighty mediocre house
keeper.
Most thinking people will agree
with me that it is the jazz" spirit
in the air. the fiippancy about sa-
cred things, the careless selection
of companions. the continued round
of gaiety with too few serious pur-
suits which lead to unfortunate
matings and naturally to unhappy
marriages. Let the parents begin
the reform. Let them teach their
children to be sincere, to be pleas
ure-loving without being frivolous,
to choose their companions care
fully and not for material advan-
tages to be gained by friendship
but because of the sterling char
acters to be studied and admired.
II the public schools would lay
little stress on the reading of char
acter, children would find it an in
teresting study and would soon
learn to choose their companions
a little more thoughtfully.
And in the choosing of a life
mate, let each girl consider whether
or not the man of her choice is
worthy to be the father of her chill
dren, and then let her decide IL his
character will wear Well every
day. And after she getst him there
are four great things she needs
love is, of course, the first and most
important; then faith; then pa
thence, and then a sense of humor.
And the greatest of these Is
sense of humor" Added to that,
let her have the instinct for fair
play, or, in other words, be "a good
sport" ready to take her share of
the burden, and she has pretty
good chance for happiness.
A HAPPY WIFE.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1920-10-05

from having my faith in the insti-
tuition shaken.
Like the poet Hoffman. of the
opera, / shall narrate my three
loves, pointing out little straws
which indicate winds on. which my
romances were blown.
NV first wife was of "the cling
ing vine" type. She was not prac-
teal, which might been been over
looked If she had been idealistic;
but she was neither. In all discus
sions, personal or impersonal, she
agreed unreservedly, or else dis
agreed arbitrarily, and was unable
or unwilling to state why. She was
always unhappy when she was not
amused. With utter self-candor, L
believe that ii was her shallowness
which caused our romance to be-
come beached.
Is. it not natural, therefore, that
my second venture was with an OPP
posite type? Alas, the pendulum
swung too far. and with this state
ment feel l may draw the curtain
on No. ..
My lamented third wife was the
happy medium-an executive (but
not overbearing) woman; a woman
with understanding, with insight,
hindsight and foresight; a student
of human nature; spiritual more
than religious.
But getting to the point: Was
II not ill-fortune alone that / did
not meet No. 3 first? Was not my
experience with No. ! and No.
merely my lack of Sizing up" char
acter? Does not the whole question
OF "Is Marriage a Success" hinge on
judgment and selection?
Many condemn me for my three
ventures and my resolve to remar-
ry IL l find the woman / would love.
But has not every man, and also
every woman, the right to marital
happiness? And having that right
is 1T wrong to keep seeking until IL
Is found, no matter how many
blunders made In the pursuit must
be corrected? / should like to see
what others think along this phase,
especially In view OF the question
recently raised in other columns OF

TheDangerOf
OUereatinQ
BY Brice Belden, M. D.

THERE are many people who
cannot live from one meal to
the next without an ice cream
soda, nibble OF popcorn here or a
piece Of cake or other CONNECTION
there. II you are one of thte,
you need not be surprised IL tired
digestive apparatus has it's revenge
in the development of a chronically
toxic condition. Regularity in eat
ing insures good digestion, and,
even good plain food, let alone
fancy articles, should be abjured
between meals.
Overeating. either by supplement
tary between-meal orgies or by reg
ular meals which are too heavy. Is
likely to produce an extremely, low
standard of efficiency in ones daily
work. In some cases, overeating
can become a disease, in which the
unreasonable desire for food be-
comes a mania resembling that Of
the alcohol addict. II
The brain-worker is in more
danger from overeating than tho
muscle-worker, and he should reg
ulate his meals in such a way that
they will be light enough to keep
his brain clear and his nervous or
ganixa ton a well-balanced aid to
general efficiency rather than an
unstrung hindrance.
One authority on nervous condi-
tons suggests for the brain worker
a simple breakfast Of fruit, cereal.
eggs, potatoes and toast, a lunch OF
whole-wheat bread and buttermilk,
and a generous dinner, with a small
portion Of one of the milder meats.
The troubles Of many a nervous
wreck have been traced to his bad
dietetic habits and a gradual cure
effected by putting him on baby
food" and slowly reforming his
nutritional program by increasing
the food much the same as in tho
case of the transitional feeding
between babyhood and childhood.
Exercise is increased with the
amount of food until a. safe and
normal adult diet is finally reached.
In extreme cases the patient is put
to bed and fed four or FIVE ounces
of milk eight times a day, follow
ing. exactly the method of feeding
very young infants.
In autotoxic cases of this sort
the method amounts to a modified
fasting. while in the opposite condi-
ton - under-nourishment- pa
tient often needs to be given an
increased number of meals a day Of
the same simple character as do
scribed above.

NOW SEEKING
THE FOURTH.

1t seems to me that marriage
must be success, else today
monogamy would not be almost
universal. Woman naturally is a
monogamist, I believe, and 1t Is
fact that polyandry was almost nil
even in the days when men prac-
ticed polygamy generally.
Therefore, woman should be con-
coded the bulk of the credit for the
establishment and maintenance OF
the institution of marriage. And
it seems but natural to conclude
that it is largely up to woman to
make marriage a success.

QUOTES SOCIOLOGY IN
REPLY TO SINCERITY

A close application to Wards
Dynamic Sociology" will be Of
great assistance to Sincerity" in
her endeavor to understand the
complexion of the relation of the
sexes. I desire to quote few of
his words:
'Tove--In the same manner as
the term Want was employed as a
general designation of the preserva-
tive forces, we may employ Love.
The love OF man for woman and
OF woman for man Is necessarily
sexual, and any attempt to separate
the diffused from the localized form
by an abrupt interval Is useless and
betrays n desire to escape tho recog-
milton OF an obvious fact. All love
cmanatcs from tho sexual system.

Birthday Party.

One is always interested in children
and nothingis more adorable than a
bunch of little folks at party.
On Wednesday afternoon, June ID,
little Miss Julia Thomas, daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. LaVerne Thomas, cele-
brated her third birthday by giving a
party to number of her little friends.
Promptly at five o'clock the children
began to arrive, and the little hostess
was never lovelier than on this
occasion, clad in a dainty party dress
of pink and white, receiving her
guests on the front porch. About
fortv-five little folks were present.
A contest, pinning on Buster
Browns tie, afforded much merr1-
ment for them. Little Elizabeth
Herndon won the first prize for pin
ming the tie on correctly, and Melvin
Hit was awarded the second prize
for having almost pinned it in the
right position. Then for an hour,
they entertained themselves in the
yard, playing games such as children
delight in. After which they were
invited into the dining room where
most delicious ice cream and cakes
were served. The table was pretty,
decorated with crepe paper and all
colors of candy. The center piece
was the birthday cake with three
pink candles.
Each little guest was presented
with a souvenir of this happy occa-
sion, the girls receiving paped snap
caps, and the boys little bags of
marbles. The little hostesst was the
recipient of many gifts.

THE BOIL WEEVIL is HERE.
w. E. Bessinger Presents First Speci.

In years gone by there has been
rivalry among the farmer friends Of
The Herald to see who should be the
first to bring il an open cotton bloom.
The rivalry has now shifted to- who
shall be the first to bring in a live
boil Weevil.
To w. E. Bessinger belongs the
honor this year, if honor you would
call it-distinction is perhaps better.
Mr.. Bessinger brought to the editorial
sanctum three very fat specimens OF
weevils Thursday morning. We have
previously heard reports of the pres
ence of Weevils in the county, but we
have not seen them. We did see these

The insects were carefully corked
in a bottle with cotton form. The

have opened.

went fishing one day last week down
at Hops turn hole, and they brought
back with them a rock fish weighing
29 IA pounds This is one Of the
largest fish that has been caught in
the Edisto river for some time. Oh
course, all fishermen catch big fish
but they frequently "get away" This
one did not get away. 1t was brought
