Announce Your Own Marriage
Dear Mrs, Post: How shall
announce my marriage when my
parents object to it and have op-
posed me every step of the way?
They do not disapprove Of my
f1ance; they disapprove of any
man who wants to take me away
from them. We cannot have a
wedding. At any rate I won't
have one because of the situation.
But there are many announces
ments that should be sent, and OF
necessity they would have to be
formal engraved ones. Whose
name can I use?
Answer: You may use:
Miss Mary Jones
and
Mr.. John Henry Smith
have the honor to announce
their marriage, etc.
Such an announcement is en-,
tirely proper.
Us it improper to 1Dear peils
in the euening? Is it proper to |
speak to strangers at parties?

CONTINUED from page p
full Forest Lawn Cemetery. Fol-
lowing the lower route they
went along the ocean into Cal
ifornia, over into Texas and
New Orleans and Florida, and
then home.
Mrs. James Fossland also told
the members about her trip to
Cuba. Travelling on the Steam
ship "Florida" it was but a
short trip to Havana, Cuba.
She said that one of the most
awe inspiring sights are the
beautiful cathedrals. In some
places Havana is lovely and
very we'll kept, while in other
places it is very rundown.
Everything moves at a very
fast pace - people as we'll as
cars. Cuba is also a very ro-
mantle place, full of old-world
glamour and picturesque build
ings. Cuba's Central Highway
is one of the worlds finest au-
tomobile roads. Cuba has
warm tropical climate.
Next, Mrs. Paul LaRose told
of her trip to Natchez, Missis-
sippi. In Georgia there were
peach blossoms, white azaleas
and wisteria vines. Entering
Natchez, Magnolias were in a.
bundance on the beautiful Nat
chez Trace Gas the roads there
are called).
Situated high on the banks
of the Mississippi, Natchez was
founded by the French, but
like all other cities in this
Country, it has been settled by
people from all parts of the
world. This is the reason for
three definite trends in arch
itectural design in their build
ings and homes. There is the
French design with it's lavish
interior; the Plantation type
home came with the people
who migrated from Virginia;
also the natives from the East
brought their austere design
along with them when they
settled'there. In 1882 the peo-
pie of Natchez opened their
lovely homes to the public, and
their garden clubs and high
schools to show their enchant-
ment and lovely coloring.
Hostesses - Mrs. James
Leech, Miss Bacon, Miss Cor
nelia Shaw and Mrs. Grover c..
Leech served tea from a beau
tiful decorated table. They
were assisted by Mrs. Paul La
Rose and Mrs. David McElroy.

A PASSPORT, NOT A TICKET

From Maine to California, thousands upon thou
 sands of young and women are walking up alsles in academic costume to receive rather nicely printed documents which confirm that they are Bachelor or Arts, Masters of Arts Bachelors or Doctors or Philosophy. Each document represents something in
 the way of achievements, far than others, of course.
 None of them is ticket entitng the bearer to la free ride There virtually is nothing one can get in this world by flashing a diploma, unless he has certain other abilities and attributes. It will be far better for the gigantic crop of college graduates to
 regard their degrees passports rather than tickets
 A passport is Identification It confirms the citizenship and place of birth of the holder. It en-
 titles him to travel about the world and to claim the rights belonging to anyone who holds such an dent- ficaton paper he has to pay his passage all the same.
 The university graduate, having met the require ments for degree, becomes identified one of a large company of people who have tried, with some measure of success, to learn how to learn. In the main. man or woman who has devoted four years, more or less to academic studies is better equipped for the world than who has not earned this pass port The records show that he is more likely to be successful.

 Truman explained that the coun- tryside where the James family liv- ed was bitterly divided over the Presidential election of 1924, and broke off into two counties. The county dominated by the Republi- cans was named after Henry Clay, the COP. candidate. The other county was named after Andrew Jackson, the Democratic candidate. The James farm came within the boundaries of Clay county, but the brothers remained loyal to the Democratic party.
 The James boys were pushed so hard they began to fight back, i" added Truman, in explaining how they became outlaws.
