Fellowship Meeting With Mrs
Tulbert Was Well
Attended.

One of the most enjoyable
events of the season was the fell
lowship meeting of the Woman's
Missionary Society of the Baptist
church which was held at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. J. N. Tul-
bert.
Mrs. Guy T. Badger, the presi-
dent, was in the chair, Mrs. w. T.
Wilmington in charge of the pro-
gram, first introduced in a
charming manner, Mrs. Ida Wad-
dell who was the originator OF
these fellowship meetings which
bear her name.
Mrs. A. B. Vannoy in a few
we'll chosen words reviewed the
theme for the year: "The Great
Commission
Several songs suggestive of the
approaching Christmas season
were we'll rendered by represen-
tative R. HIS, C. AS, and Y. w.
AS. Miss Margaret Philips sang
a solo.
The Bible study and devotionals
were ably conducted by Rev. w.
T. Wilmington. Then Mrs. B. E.
Reeves in a brief and pleasing
way introduced the speaker of
the evening, DR.. Robert R. King,
who was formerly a medical mis-
sionary in Africa, for more than
Is years, but is now the county
health officer.
His address on the habits and
customs of the natives with whom
he labored so many years was
highly instructive and enjoyed by
all.
Thirty or more visitors were
present. Those from a distance
were:

ter; Mrs. Ruth Hacker of Scott
vile; Mrs. R. L. Doughton and
daughter, Miss Reba of Laurel

Improvement In Business
In Nation Still Continues

NEW YORK, Dec. 9.-The ma
tons business added to its break
neck speed of the last three
months last week in the face of
dwindling orders in the heavy di-
vision and a cautious buying po-
Icy by retailers who are expert
encing the best Christmas season
in years.
Virtually every group benefit
ted from the momentum acquired
in September, October and Nov
ember. Employment again in
creased as industry reversed the
usual seasonal trend and spurted
rather than declined.
While new bookings fell away,
most manufacturers in the heavy
lines saw enough on their books
to keep them pounding away at a
high rate through the first three
or four months of 1910, at least.
And the decrease in orders was
not sufficiently great to alarm
many economists who believe the
nation needs enough equipment
and plant facilities to keep things
moving for many months to come.
This was the consensus of many
delegates to the annual meeting
of the National Association of
Manufacturers here. Some Of
them saw possibility of a lag in
construction as public grants are
used up but were he2rtened by
the constantly growing gain in
private building, which showed
an advance this week for the 18th
consecutive period and was 119
per cent ahead of the like 1888
period.
Most thought the present pace
would slacken somewhat after the
turn of the year, although orders
from abroad might help to keep
it up. So far these have not ma
terialized to the extent looked for
at the outbreak of war, although
many foreign markets have been
more generous in their bookings
than previously.
Belligerent buying policies, ex-
cept for machine tools and air
planes, have been extremely eau
tious, and more and more, bust
nessmen look for French and Bri-
fish purchases to be made within
their respective empires as much
as possible. The British this week
were said to be still in the mar
ket for a certain amount of steel
and several hundred thousands
of shells, but no order had been
placed.
Illustrative of the business car
ry-over into the usually dull
season preceding Christmas, the
Associated Press index of indus
trial activity advanced to 11O.9
per cent of the 1929-3O average,
compared with 1889 last week
and $40 a year ago. It was the
fastest rate since November, 1929

A new dairy product is designed
to make household labor less and
add nourishment to the familys milk
quota. Delivered In regular milk
bottles, it contains eggs. sugar vanil-
la and whole milk beaten into a
frothy custard. This may be drunk
as beverage, or may be used in
any dishes where q soft custard
forms the base. 1t keeps well and
is priced low enough to suit even

Better than such modern gadgets
as automobiles, radios and televi-
sion, we'll bet great-grandma would
have liked the new fireplace screens
which are so convenient and deco
rative. Made of a flexible mesh,
they fit any size fireplace and come
in a wide selection OF finishes to
go with the other hearthside ap-
pointments. The appearance is of
a graceful hanging curtain which
slides on a matching rod by means
of small rings, and while the screen
does not mar your view of the logs,
it does protect furnishings from the
ravages of smoke and flame. Inter-
esting. too. is the fact that pulley

to provide some entertainment for
that dismal time on Christmas after
noon, when all the presents have
been opened, all the turkey has been
devoured and there just doesn't
seem to be anything to do.
Even if it's just family gathering,
few games will help keep heads
from nodding and tempers from
getting short. Or invite some of
your friends to drop In at that hour
to see your presents. They'll well
come the chance to get some air
and they'll relieve the boredom that
always descends on your own Christ
mas tree at this particular time.
Here Is an Extra
Special for Boys.
Suggestion No. 5-This is today's
four-star special for boys. If you've
been dating Mabel regularly and are
giving her present, hold out enough
money to buy Mabels mother a few
flowers or Christmas plant. Mabel
will be delighted at your thought
fulness, and her mother will look at
you as though she wished she were
in her daughters shoes. And man,
that helps!
Suggestion No. eff you have to
work during the holidays while other
young people are having fun, don't
let it get you down. We know one
college freshman who spent his vaca-
ton last year dealing parcel post
packages off the back end of a coal
truck which had been pressed into
emergency service by the local post
office. He had to work all day Christ
mas-and he had the time of his
life. Half the people to whom he
delivered packages invited him into
the house for refreshments, or gave
him some sort of gift. So there can
be plenty of cheer in Christmas, even
If you are working when you'd like
to be partying.
Suggestion No. 7-Instead Of
sending mere Christmas card to

tives, drop them line A short,

Dorothy Dix Says go
Girl Fortunate to Lose Man Who
Weds Another in Fit of Pique

loves another woman and did not
want to marry her, and who feels
in his every look and word and
deed the hatred and contempt he
has for her.
Such a couple have no chance of
making their marriage a success or
Of 1t bringing them anything but
bitter regret. 1t seems to me that
you made very fortunate escape
In not marrying this young man,
who must be as weak as water if
he lets the girl and her parents put
over such deal on him. II he had
the backbone of jellyfish when he
came out of his tantrum and
realized what he had done, he would
have refused to be coerced into
taking wife whom he did not want.
Nor can I see what happiness you
could have had in q marriage with
a man with whom you were always
quarreling even before marriage,
and who has temper that is vir-
tual insanity. You seem to think,
though goodness knows why, that
your being good girl was the
cause of the boy marrying the other
girl because he was angry at you,
but that is ridiculous. Your morals
had nothing to do with the case.
The whole sorry mess is the result
Of the boys temper.
And you ask: What have I gained
by keeping myself decent?" To that
I answer: Some Of the greatest
things in the world. Integrity. A
clear conscience. Your own self
respect and the respect of all who
know you. And when you do find
some better man than the one you
have lost and marry him. you will
not have to live in dread of your
husband finding out about your
past.
Evening star., 1939-12-19

Dear Miss Dix: Every one claims
a girl should keep herself decent
and pure for the man she will even
tually marry. have believed this
and abided by it, and this is what
happened to me: I am 10 and have
been engaged to a young man for
the last four months. We have
had several quarrels during this
time, but always made up. A few
weeks ago we had a misunderstand-
ing and split up. In his anger he
proposed to another girl. but three
days before the date Of his marriage
to her he came to my parents and
said that he did not love the girl
and would not marry her, that he
loved me and wanted to marry me.
This was explained to the girl and
her parents, but they held him to
this engagement to marry her,
though he still protested that he
loved me and that he did not want
to marry her. But the marriage
did take place, and now what have
I gained? A. M. A.
Answer-Probably when a girl is
only 10 and in love and her sweet
heart has gone off and married an
other girl in fit of pique, her poor
little brains are so added and her
heart so hurt that she could not be
expected to look at any situation
dispassionately.
If you could see the whole matter
clearly, you would realize that you
are the lucky one in this tragic
triangle, and that the high-tem-
pered boy and the anxious-to-marry
girl are the ones to be pitied. They
have wrecked their lives, and II you
had wished to avenge yourself upon
them, you could have planned no
crueler punishment than they have
brought upon themselves in their
marriage. No man can be more
miserable than the one who loves
one woman and is married to an
other and who knows that he has
brought his unhappy fate upon him.
self by his own folly. Nor can any
woman be more wretched than the
one who knows that she has forced
q man into marrying her when he
