What S IN a Name
DOLORES
(Copyright)

Like Juanita, the Spanish Dolores
has gained extraordinary vogue in this
country. Indeed, it is now regarded
as typically American, especially in
the Southwest where the influence of
the early Spanish settlers has been
engraved for all time. It's unfortunate
translation, SORROWS" has never
checked its vogue; rather, the oppOs-
tie emotion has seemed to invest its
bearers. Most of the Doloreses who
have come to this writer's notice have
been gay coquettes with laughing eyes
and lips.
The name is one of Spanish Catholic
growth and was originally applied to
express the mOurnful circumstances
Of some child of misery, baptised in
tears The fashion for bestOwing the
name Of the Holy Virgin upon several
members of Catholic family with a
distinguishing phrase led to the fire.
Quent usage of Dolores. Parents, mind
full Of the Seven Sorrows supposed to
have pierced the heart of the Holy
Mother, would choose for one child
the musical name Of Maria de Dolores.
1t is quite appropriate that Dolores
talismanic stone should be jet the en-
blem of sorrow. But fortunately for
her, to wear the stone insures the
opposite emotion; lit will protect her
from sorrow, from danger and dis
ease. Tuesday is her lucky day and
4 her lucky number.

Bachelor Girl Sayings
BY Helen Rowland

The Saddest hour of romance is that
in which man begins to think of his
Wife'S voice as a combination alarm
clock, dinner-gong and curfew.
The appropriate shower" for the
June bridegroom appears to be
shower of advice, sympathy, awful pre-
dictions, and homemade "bracers,"
from his loving bachelor friends.
Many a man has turned a third-rate
stenographer into a first-class cook,
merely by offering her a wedding ring.
Oh, we'll, thanks to the Eighteenth
Amendment lots of wives will be tax
en- abroad this summer who would
otherwise have lived and died without
ever seeing the Eiffel Tower or the
Rue de la Paix.
Possession is nine points of the love-
game-and the tenth is boredom.
To be mans idol forever, wear
your halo even at breakfast, and never
remove the sandals of illusion from
your feet of clay, no matter how they
pinch
At twenty to be lovely. at thirty to
be loved. at forty to be ovable-that
is the highest attainment of life for
any woman.
After a few years of sentimental ey-
perience. it takes real technique for a
girl to kiss like an amateur-and real
diplomacy for man to pretend not to
know the difference.
Many a man. who believes in "giv-
ing the devil his due" would be less
broad-minded if the devil were a
woman.
IAN exemplary young man" is one
in whose presence it is perfectly safe
for pretty woman to crumple up her
lips and blow the curls out of her eyes.

Cecil got gray, gliding sort of a
car, and We started off. AS soon as
we got bit out we took off our hats
and let the winds of July wander
through our hair and brains. 1t was
most wonderful We just clipped along
and whenever we felt like it we
stopped, sat down beside a brook, and
put our hot faces deep into the water.
The woods were hushed and delight
fully cool and mysterious, and Cecil
was all for staying in one particular
spot that We tumbled upon, for hours,
but / was not keen.
So by degrees we made our way
along. Once we almost collided with
another car, so absorbed were we in
each other-and the landscape And
once Cecil brought the car to sud
den stop-and then turned and just
looked into my eyes in a way that he
has, until I really didn't know what
to do with my own at all. Then he
started off again. That boy is apt to
do anything at times.

and we became silent and reverent

be moon later on, and that would
make the homeward trip glorious.
The first stars were twinkling at
US when we stepped into the car
again, and headed for the big city. Fol-
some time we sped along in silence
but finally we passed a pretty dell

afternoon, and here he halted the car

1t is strange that so popular fruit

which is never really cheap. should

means difficult. After that, once get

secret of a good crop of top quality,

The melon may be planted in early
June with every prospect of good
crop. II is safer to wait until the
temperature is settled and the soil
warm. The latter part of May is gen
orally as early as it is safe to plant
melons in the northern states.
Plant five seeds to a hill, five feet
apart each way. After they come up
and have made three or four leaves
pull out all but two to a hill. The
reason for permitting them to go

-,
- Fred D.. ~Sherman for number Of

ded by Governor Burnquist, Asher
Murray of Wade11a and Secretary of
State Schmahl, A. NJ Opsahl, assis-
tant to Mr.. Sherman, was also given
his walking papers, and c. T. Kelley
publisher of the Menahga Advertiser,
appointed in his place. The reason
assigned! for the dismissal of the two
was 'Stoo much politics in the depart

tor Preus, also members of the COM
mission, were not present ait the
meeting. extraordinary. Both Sher-
man and Opsahl were candidates for
secretary of state in the recent pri-
mary election. Sherman who made
rather a good showing at the Repub-
lican elimination convention was
finally distanced by Mike Holm and
wi ithdrew in the latter's favor, but
Opsahl refused to go into the com
vention and carried his candidacy tc
the voters direct, where he finished
third. Fred Sherman has many
staunch friends throughout the state
who will not take kindly to his dis.
missal. However, there can be nc
quarrel with the two appointments
as made. Both are good men, ano
what is better, they have a thorough
knowledge of the state and it's needs
