each have two little girls. about nine and four years old. 1 allow my girls to keep their toys in the dining room only. They are not permitted to play in the living room where we have extra good furniture.
 My sisters children are permitted to play all over the house. and as a result there are several scratches on her best furniture. She says there scratches have history and she would not put drop of varnish on them to hide them want to keep my furniture nice for my girls when they are older. My sis ter says that furniture is no object in making a real home Now my point is-will my girls or my sisters girls love their home hest when they are older! Surely both of us can't be right. SARAH.
 Answer: Ah. but you are both right, and both wrong. Sarah--.that is, if eith- CT one of you carry your theory an inch too far. There is nothing that is so hard to do as to strike the perfect note of moderation in a home and have things orderly, and clean, and comfort able enough to be nice, and yet not so nice, and orderly, and clean as to be uncomfortable.
 You are right in not permitting your children to clutter up the whole house with their toys because they can play just as happily with them in one room as they could in half n dozen You are right in teaching them to be orderly and put things away, because that habit formed in childhood will be valuable asset to them as long as they live. You are right in teaching them how to take care of good furniture because that it a hall mark of breeding.
 You can tell the sort of home peo- pie came from, whether they are used to nice things, almost the exact amount ot cultivation they have. by the way they treat your furniture.
 But you are wrong if you are so or derly, and so neat and particular that you make your home a prison; if you make your children feel that you put your furniture before their pleasure. and that they are not free to romp and enjoy themselves in their own home.
 Your sister is wrong if she permits her children to be destructive and care less. and to strew their belongings all over the place. But she is right if she makes a home a place of comfort and joy that her children will always look back upon as the dearest spot in the world. DOROTHY DIX.

learned to love another, and ask to be released from your promise to marry him. That's all there is to it, because our love is beyond our control, and we cannot manage that very cratic organ the human heart
 But when you break your engage. ment, Mary Anna, be honest enough to give the young man back his ring and all his presents. Don't consider, as many girls do, that you have a right to keep the jewelry as salvage out of your love affair.
 Breaking the engagement may hurt the young man temporarily and wound his pride. but he will thank you for playing fair with him. No man or woman can do another such cruel wrong as to marry without love. Marriage means sacrifices. it means work and worry. It means putting uI with peculiarities of another. It means daily companionship. And unless we love we cannot endure these with pa. tience. It takes love to make us will ing to give up our own way to another's to prefer another's happiness above our own, to make us condone another's faults and to keep us from being bored to death with another's society.
 With love, poverty is nothing. Hard work is nothing. Without love, riches and luxury are dust and ashes, and a palace is not home.
 As for marrying q man you have known only three months, Mary Anna that's another pair of sleeves. Of course, there is such a thing as love at first sight, but that is as rare as a white blackbird. almost. Also, the symptoms are misleading, and many people who think they love at first sight find later that they have diagnosed their cases wrong.
 Better wait ntil you know the young man more thoroughly, and are more sure of yourself. You have thought that you were in love for keeps once, ant found out that you were mistaken, S, tlearn from that experience. j
 Any stranger can make himself agree able for short period, but time brings out mans disposition and character So give yourself at least year 1T which to study the temper and tempera ment of the man with whom you pro pose to spend the balance of your life

Children Of The Confectionery
 Enroll

In order that the Children of the Confederacy may have the privilege of enrolling as unit on the children's S founders roll of the Stone mountain memorial, the Stone Mountain COnfed- crate Monumental association has ex- l tended the age limit for the children from sixteen to eight years. This is the age limit for the Children. of the Confederacy and the Sons of Veterans. and many persons thought that the the limit for the children's founders roll should conform to the ages set in these two organizations. The children themselves are most eager to enroll, as far as possible. as a unit.
 | Throughout the South they are much interested and names are coming in from all over the country, even as far north as Canada. The children's con- tribution is $1 for each Confederate Confederate soldier, grandfather. great grandfather, uncle. cousin or friend.
 One child can enroll as many names as he likes, provided he sends in $1 for each name enrolled. For each $1 sent in the child will receive one line for himself and the person he wants to me | HtOIuAlEcs II uc ucSlTcS tO mchoiui1c six persons his contribution will be $6, and he will be given six lines in the Book of Memory.
 When there are two or more children in the family each child can memoralize the same Confederate soldier. or as many of the children are doing, the children can memoralize Confederate kin in both branches of the family, thus preserving the record of both maternal and paternal ancestors and kin.
 M Names should be sent in to the Chil- dren's Founders Roll, 504 Hurt build ing, Atlanta. Among the first 300 children are John Warren Cooke, nine-year-old son of the last surviving member of General Lees staff.

Two women were selected to attend meeting of the board of liealth and learn what subjects come up, and how they are dealt with.
