Modern Courtship Not
as Some Remember lt

This Will interest nobody except
nliddle-aged men who have bald spot
and twinge Of rheumatism in the
left knee. 1t concerns the way Of q
man with n maid.
The technique Of courtship has
changed greatly in three decades. In
the old days the maid sat In a parlOf
to be wooed. Perhaps she sat on u
squeaky stool to play an organ or q
piano. Ii she did, you stood beside her
to turn the music. You did not hear
the music. Your only sensation was
one of delight In the beauty Of her
six-inch pompadour as seen from
above. Ii she did not play, you sat
On thing called q sofa and studied
her whiskered ancestors in an album.
Al times your heads almost touched
and little shivers ran up and down
your back, writes one who knows, in
the Baltimore Sun.
= Little things meant much In those
days. The hrst time you held her hand
angels. The youngsters won't believe
this, but It is true. You lost all sense
If time and space, and just sat there
numb with ecstasy.
And then the great event! 1t was a
moonlight night, and the reins were
slack ON the dashboard, and the mad
ness Of spring was In you. You kissed
her! Oh. my gosh! Right smack on
the mouth! There wasn't any rouge
in those days, and very little powder.
and you didn't taste a blessed thing
out girl! How commonplace-how Ut
ierly paltry and wearisome Paradise
would have seemed to you then!
How long ago. How long ago! The
,nodern maid is just as sweet, for all
ler shorn tresses and silken legs. but
the way of the man has changed. He
drives up in front and honks and he
doesn't help her in. She doesn't need
nelp. Given running start, she could
lump in without opening the door,
They don't hold hands. And kiss
doesn't mean very much to either Of
them. 1t Is just substitute for con-
versation. 1t takes the place Of the
family album. And it has strange fla
vOrs.
How wonderful to be wise! But how
much more thrilling 1t was to be
green.

WHY FARMING DECLINED

A review Of the present status OF
agriculture in New England has
shown that the more important con

which exists are: Waste OF farm re
sources; failure to understand and
practice the fundamental principles
OF business; lack of an adequate pro
gram Of farm management and soil
management. with the attendant de
pletion of soi1 fertility: choice OF IN
suitable and oftentimes unmarketablt
varieties: the use of poor seed: thu
keeping and breeding OF inferior AMI
