posite form of the ideal" per-
son becomes more tangible.
That is why no very young boy
or girl should Ego steady" with
another. It spoils, at the very con-
ception, the sense of values that car
be gained through wide knowledge
of people.
Sometimes you hear of a case

have been first and only" loves.
But more often than not the plea
comes: 81 was married too young;
I didn't have chance to meet and
know other people so that 1 could
compare the good qualities of one
person against another!"
In today's mail came a letter from
a little 15-year-old high school girl
that is fairly teeming with good
sense and fairness. The child is
confronted with the problem of 60
ing steady with a boy whom she
holds sincere friendship for or Civ
ing that precious gift up.
In reality, there is no problem,
unless the boy is unusually stubborn.
It is an imposition for any boy 10
to expect a girl Is to give up all her
little school friends for his eXclu
Sive conpanionship. And to con-
slider marrying a mere child, who
has net as yet completed the educa-
ton that will enable her to better
take up the burdens of marriage is
barbarous.
know that our grandmothers
married that youAg But so did
they also ride out to California in
covered wagon, which is no srgu-
ment why we should suffer the in
conveniences of that mode of travel
And there is no long, rough road like
the one of matrimony. And you
can't pass up any of the ways and
means to make it little easier.
Happiness will come only through
satisfaction with the one you marry
and how can you be satisfied with
one person when you are constantly
weighing him against new types OF
people you meet? And the new al
ways attracts. Learn to know people
so that you may form your own
sense of values concerning character
Here is the letter from wise lit
tie IS:
Dear Martha Lee: am fifteen and am
going with a boy eighteen He says he
loves me, but / know we are botn too
young to really .ove each other, l
like him better than any OF the other
boys. but still I feel that am toe. young
to 20 steadw with anyone I don't want
a different boy every few nights, but any
girl likes change.
I can appreciate him more AFTER nave
been with someone else. He is the trSt
boy have ever gone with. He, however
has gone with other girls. I feel that !
am missing something. but when go out
with anyone else it hurts him. He said
he wouldn't go with me if / had, other
dates anymore. I won't sneak and have
other dates because I think that's mean
and cheap. I can't bear to give up his
friendship, but want to be free and go
and come when and with whom I please.
Then, too he is always talking of what
we'll do when we finish high school, I'm
yet. BROWN EYES.
You are the sensible one, Brown
Eyes. If he is truly fond of you he
will be glad to be numbered among
your friends, be they in three fig
ures. Of course, you are too young
to go steady and as far as marriage,
that is, or should be 1T least five
years removed. Talk to him about
it all and see if you can't make him
understand. And write to me again
Your letter was JOY.

THEIR LETTERS

Dear Nom: 1t is fun to be free
again. This morning I slept late
and lay for long time listening to
the waves outside my window. Then
I ordered my orange juice and toast
and read the morning paper, and
wondered why one couldn't just be
useless and happy all the time.
/ had a gorgeous swim, and while
on the beach picked up an ac-
uuaintance with a girl who is stay
ing here for month, and we had
luncheon together.
She said she had fallen into the
hands of some bridge sharks out
here and that she never wanted to
see a card again, she was so tired
of it. So I suggested she go out
motoring in the afternoon with me,
which she did.
I like her-her name is Alice
Carver-ever so much. We rode
around until we came to a very
smart little tea shop, where we had
tea. BY this time I knew the story
of Alice's life. She is here with her
father, trying to forget the man
whom she loves so much and who
recently married her best friend.
She says she knows perfectly
well that there is nothing she can
do about it, or that she would do
if she could, but she can't seem to
get over it. No one else she meets
interests her at all.
1t isn't that she wants to care any
more for the man who walked out
on her, or that she doesn't realize
that he wasn't particularly worth
wasting her life on, but she can't
help herself.
1 told her my theory-which is
that there is no man worth break
ing your heart over, but a great
many that furnish excellent anc
stimulating entertainment. She saio
looked to her like a woman who
rode over life triumphantly, and
told her I did.
1 almost collided with the car OF
my friend Brother Shelton as we
came back to the hotel. I presented
him to Alice, and as we stood there
talking along came Alan-so I just
introduced Alan to the two, and he
naturally assumed that both were
recent acquaintance, and all went
we'll.
You see, Alan knows nothing OF
Mr.. Shelton. I had feared might
have to make some stupid explain
alton about him, but Fate protected
her erring daughter. On the whole
life looks promising right now.
Your devoted
MARYE.

A LITTLE TALK ON THRIFT
By s. w. STRAUS

by =. w. SIhAOS
President American Society for Thrift
Many persons have missed their
greatest opportunities in life simply
because they have not been able to
command small amount of ready
money, while others owe their adj
vancement to the fact that when a
golden opportunity was presented to
them, they were able, financially, to
take advantage of it.
In the saving of money we often
are doing ourselves a greater service
making more substantial provision
for our future progress-than we re-
alize. If we read the lives of those
who have become leaders in the bust
ness world we find that almost with
out exception the turning point in
their careers came when they were
able to take advantage of some great
opportunity because they had the
money at hand. In most cases, the
sum of money thus involved was small,
but coupled with vision, ambition,
clean-living and self-mastery, these
men were dDle 10 TURN lileiI HeSl-eSSS
into colossal fortunes.
Opportunities are more powerful
than conquerors and prophets" wrote
an old philosopher, and he might have
added that most opportunities come
as the result of thrift.
Disraeli said, 1.-The greatest secret
of success in life is to be ready when
your opportunity comes"
To those who are drifting along
from day to day without getting ahead
and apparently are making no effort
to do so, this advice should come with
special force.
Opportunities for self-advancement
often come to those who, because of
their thrifty habits, have gained the
confidence of some person who is in
position greatly to advance their
interests.
Thrift and opportunity are always
on friendly terms.

statement, China might be marked
Exhibit A, and let us label Arkan-
sas as Exhibit B"
The following little gem was
picked out of prospectus extolling
Arkansas. Let it speak for itself:
1.-The only trouble with the people
of Arkansas is that they have been
joked, ridiculed, misrepresented and
misunderstood by the ignorant, the
vicious, or the well meaning humor-
list, and they have cared so little
about it, that they never have taken
the trouble to overcome, by proper
presentation of the facts, the false
impressions that have been made
A visual array of facts as one views
them in a trip through the country
is far stronger counter against mis-
representation than mere sophistica-
ton of words. The proof is over
whelming that the humorist was not
far wrong.
Corn POne.
Ever since reading Paul Laurence
Dunbar's when the Con Pon's Hot /,
there has been a desire to see and eat
some corn pone. That desire has
been at last satisfied. Through my
attendant at the bath house, acquaint-
ance was made with an old lady who
had formerly been slave. There,
too, was a hope that some folk lore
might be found worth while writing
about, but that did not materialize.
This old lady who called herself
Mother Johnson, Holy Roller" in
good standing, was living with her
married daughter, woman who had
travelled considerably, and who for
ability and versatility would be con-
sidered much above the average in
any community, white or black. By
Arrangement characterized perhaps
as much by boldness as subtlety, !
was invited to a dinner, an ordinary
plantation dinner, prepared by this
old lady. Corn pone was to be fea-
tured part of the menu. The stipend
that was offered as an honorarium
for this gracious act of kindness and
hospitality, can never repay, although
it was modestly accepted as such.
The corn pone was fine, moulded
just right, cooked just right, warm
and appetizing. Asked what would
| drink" the answer was water.
There was a tender piece of beef
steak added as a luxury to the meal
boiled ham and greens, boiled ham
and new turnips. There was con-
diment of picklelily, and good butter
all prepared and served by a dear
| old colored lady who had found hel
freedom on the old farm of jeff
| Davis.
What confidence! What kindness
| What compliment this was to me
The hope is that my appreciation was
expressed in such a manner that il
will endure.
