Anniversary { Smiths Is
 EIonored

2 The home of Mr. and Mrs. J. N. Han son, 422S Beech. street, was the scene of beautiful banquet, given by MT. and Mrs. J. NJ. Floyd, Mir. and Mrs. E. Sydney Smith and Mir. and Mrs. J. N. Hanson in honor of their mother and father, Mir. and Mrs. E. Q. Smiths .fcrty-secohd anniversary.
 The house was beautifully decopted carrying out the Halloween scheme in colors of orange and black. The center piece being large golden chrysanthe- nuns in vases decorated in the Halo. ween figures.
 The miniature bride and, groom that decorated the guests of honor place car ried them back along the great highway Lof life they have travelled, making them think of the days of '62,> when they were then in the bloom of youth. <
 Just as the guests were seated, the soft strains of q Love You Truly" was rendered by Mrs. Sanford c. Beall, fol- lowed by a reading written and gwen by Mrs. James Miner Hamil.

The contests being over, the bride and groom of 'S2 were placed in the center of the living room and were showered with gifts numerous and beau tiful, showing the love and esteem with which they couple are held. They have indeed been Muddy and Dad to all with whom they come in contact, a smile and helping hand for all who needed them, they have scattered sunshine, not shadows, all along the way and now in the Indian summer of their life they have no vain regrets to say what might have been.
 Mr.. Hanson, as spokesman for the guests, made a very impressive talk and the response made by Mir. and Mrs. Smith will always finger with those present as pleasant memory and help them to know that life is worth while.
 At the close of the evening the guests grouped around the bride and groom of | i'S2 and sang several selections of the Old songs, led by Mrs. Beall, which was | a fitting finale to the happy occasion.

Who Are Real Best People
 Nowadays?

A service in private homes as a
 general houseworker was talking the other day about what real gentle people" means and who are the best people"
 She said. .I am more than sixty years old, have lived in various fam flies and think I can tell the best peo- ple.' They never put on airs. They are kind and gracious and most of the time they will do the same kind of work that you do.
 "One of. the best women for whom I worked used to say to me, Il never ask any one to do anything that l will not do myself. She was the finest wo- man of all.
 "The greater the person, that IS, the best known ones, those who stand for something in the community, who really do things, are the easiest people in the world to talk to. They never fail to remember one who is working for them and seem to appreciate them most. They will come and talk to you about various things besides your work. They will listen to what you have to say and they will always be courteous and kind.
 'Many a one like this will share even their little trials and tribulat1ons by talking of the situation. That IS, of course, if you have been with them a considerable time. In truth, they will want you to understand their little hardships and you will want to help 1n | the situation.
 These kind of people are the salt oi the earth, because they make you feel that working for them is much less oi problem and in many cases a pleas ure.
 ''In these families you will usually | find that the young man and young wo man, no matter how wealthy, are taught to do things, and when they get theil own homes they are able to manage them. They do not think it beneath them to do the ordinary housework They rath take it as fun while they are learning, but they do learn.
 'aTo be brief, the best people ar' l those who are most simple, the easies to get along with and who are constant | ly considering you and what you hav' to do.
 But the people that just start up il life and have made a little extra money they are the hardest to get along with They expect so much from servants They treat you as though you belonged in different world altogether thai they do, and they do not hesitate t' call on you to do any sort of thini at any time, with very little though about how it will affect you.
 "When you sift it an down yo1 will find that these kind of people hay had very little in life and have ha, to work themselves very hard. Some how or other they forget that when the get little affluent and get to posi tion in life when they can hire peopl to do. things, they like to give order and are never so happy as when the are waited on, hand and foot.
 'The children of such people ar growing up to be worse than the par ents," she concluded. "They expeC

 After the ceremony at the church an informal reception was held at the home of the brides parents, to which only the wedding party, relatives and inti- mate friends were invited.
 The house was decorated with palms, smilax and white chrysanthemums, these being used throughout the house.

It is a mistake for man to marry too young, it is equally l. mistake for him to marry when he is old. The old ..widower may re- marry with good chance of happi- ness, but not the old bachelor, be- cause the widower is a domesti- cated animal, housebroken, but the old bachelor is not. ,N z
 By the time man is fifty years old he has formed habits that are unbreakable, and acquired ways that are dearer to him than any woman can possibly be. More over, having had nobody to think of. but himself, nobody on whom to spend his money but himself, he is wholly unprepared to make the sacrifices that matrimony demands of man.

The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-10-31

If he gets married, he is wretched be- tause he cannot have the things and do the things he has been accustomed to. He is horror-stricken at what it costs tu support a wife. He chafes like a prisoner at the loss of his liberty, and when he finds that wife has nerves, and temper, and tongue, and has to be handled with tact and fineness, he wonders why he was ever fool enough to venture into matrimony.
 Nor, except in the case of a
 miracle, does he experience that
 love that blots out self, that makes
 sacrifice q pleasure and makes just
 being with the adored one com
 pensation for the loss of everything
 else in the world. For it is the
 penalty of age that it dries up the
 springs of emotion? and blights our
 fancies, and makes sentiment of
 less account to us than our fav0rite
 chair and super-excellent cooking.
 Hence matrimony is not for the old bachelor. He has anticipated in this world the joys of heaven, in which it is said there wll be neither marriage HOT giving marriage, and he had best remain in his helf-elected paradise of single blessedRess.
 The ideal age for man to marry
 is between twenty-eight and forty.

 type of wife that he will want for

 Also by that time he has got suffi ciently well on his feet to be able tt support family without living ir agonized anxiety about how to pay thu rent and the butcher bill. He has hat his little fling, and to him home Iook' like a place to come to of an evening instead of a place to get away from. He is stin young enough to be romantic, and to have his Illusions. The blood runs warm in his veins. He can thrill to the touch of

 and the love that he gives to
 woman is the grand passion that
 is the love of lifetime.
 And he is adaptable. He can

 Statistics show that an appall- ing number of youthful marriages end in divorce. This is because the young and undeveloped have no idea what they want in their life partners. Calf love is as beauti- full as the daisies in spring, and it fades away just as soon. No ma ture man ever meets his first sweet heart in later life without getting down on his knees and thanking God that he didn't get her. .
