SEEK RIGHT MAN
Many Women's Cogent Reason
for Remaining Single.
Happy Until Lovers They Have Seen
in Their Dreams Shall Come
to Find Them.

The woman who remains single
friends.
They do not know that she is wait
ing, in response to an impulse she
feels bound to obey, for the lover she
is certain is also awaiting her
She may be suitorless or she may
be sought after by many. In the for
mer case she does not repine, for an
inner voice assures her that one day
She will meet the longed-for lover
If men talk of marriage she listens
and-shakes her head. This is not
he" something tells her Blindly
obedient, without knowing why, the
woman who waits bows her head to
the decree
Her friends would like to see her
married and say so. She explains she
has not the slightest objection to
matrimony, but she does not wish to
be wed-not yet
1t is that little phrase, mot yet"
which is the explanation of her con-
duct
The right man, the man she wants,
has not yet come along. Charles
may be nice, John a perfect dear and
Ronald extremely eligible. Marion
admits these things but with quiet
persistence afflrms she cannot marry
any one Of them.
1t sounds an unreasonable, illeg-
ical way of looking at things
1t is. But woman was born with
an unreasonable illogical kink In her
mental makeup and she can no more
help being swayed by impulse than
an aspen can help trembling In the
breeze
Ii Is next to impossible for her to
say exactly why she cares for some
particular man. 1t IS equally difficult
10 decide why and In what manner
another just falls short of making her
love him.
This is because, in matters of the
heart, woman is invariably guided
by her emotions. Her brain plays lit
tie part In the affair.
And when she feels that "the one
man in the world" is somewhere look
ing out for her, nothing on earth will
induce her to say, Yes" to another.
It is an old. romantic idea that
every mortal has some kindred soul
Of the other sex with whom he or she
is intended by the gods to dwell in
perfect understanding and love.
Women there are who still believe
this. They are those who wait-and
are happy in doing so-for the lover
they live to meet.-Brooklyn Eagle.

She Kept IL Going.

Emphasizing the virtue of persist

quoted In the Boston Advertiser:
when my husband was magazine
editor in 1910, certain battered and
travel-worn story, novelette,, came
to his office and was Immediately re-
Jected. Two years later when he WAS
on another magazine, the story re-
appeared. 1t was unchanged, the same
little child story of optimism and
hope This second magazine paid a
small sum for 1t, and 1t was serial
ized."-From the Outlook.

to straighten out the finances of the

mittee fer this year. y. Howard

Potato Exchange has been reelected
president of the Association for an
other year.
The fact that the farmers are in
fairly good shape this year. and the
completion of many miles of good
rtads leading into Elizabeth City
from its great trade territory round
about, all are expected to contribute
in no small measure to the success
of this years fair. There will be five
days of it, giving everybody ample
time to spend at least a day or two
at the fair, which is expected to in
crease the gate receipts considerably.
The fair this year will have many
free attractions. Devotees of Horse
