A BY ETHEL UP/D PATTERS Off No. 84—The Secret •♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦-.♦♦♦♦.♦• *♦ ♦ Understanding la the corner- ♦ ♦ stone of love. ♦ Now came days and weeks and months i in my life, which, to an outsider, might I seem monotonous or even sordid. But as I look back on that time 1 think per haps it was the happiest of all my life. Howard and 1 were poor—so poor we even had to do real planning to have 1 enough to eat. My clothes grew shab- i bier than ever they had been before, or ' have been since. My husband had little ; or no money for any of the luxuries that j formerly had been in his life. But we ‘ were happy beyond words. We both . were working. Through our Uork we had found a new dignity and self-re- i spect. And the companionship which , was drawing us closer and closer >o i each other beneath our first wild im- . pulses of love was building solidly i for our future. We were both young and healthy. To do without things, to struggle to save tor them for weeks, seemed an ad venture rather than a grievance. Where once we had telephoned for a box at one of the musical comedy theaters, we now looked for a long while at 23 cents before we spent it to see seme moving pictures. Some crackers and cheese and pickles set forth on a cor ner of one of Howard's trunks, had taken the place of the gay restaurant parties we used to frequent. And 1 must say that at any moment had I had to choose. I would not have hesitated an instant. I would have taken my life rfs it*was. The old days no longer helcß any lure for me. 1 knew now that 1 had played with them as a sort of stop to my restlessness until the real thing should come into my life. Now it was here. I loved a man and he loved me Nothing that money could buy seemed to weigh very heavily in the scale against such a happiness. I know. too. that Howard felt as • did. although for him there was one cloud on the brightness of our days, i He had been very fond of his parents , and through me he was separated from j them. When first he had told his fath- j er that he loved me and wanted to marry me. his father had assumed that ' because 1 was poor. 1 was marrying my husband for his money. He had told Howard that if he were to marry we would have to live without his as-' s.stance. My husband had taken his father at his word. We had not Howard's parents for any help. Nor do 1 think we •ever regretted this, but na turally we did regret the breach which day by day seemed to widen between us and the older people. It was really very hard on Howard. His people did not even ask him home, without me. to dinner. And gradually Howards pride built up a higher wall. At first. I think, my husband would have been* only too glad to meet any advance of his parents half way. Now he was becoming unbending. Os course, I tried to do everything In my power to make up for the void In his life. I told myself that since Howard had paid such a high price for me I njust somehow make myself worthy of the- sacrifice Once Th $ Beauty Had Pimples Stuart’s Calcium Wafers Proved That Beauty Comes from the Blood and from No where Else Prove Thia With Pre* Trial Package.

I tried in every way 1 knew how not to he a financial drag. I tried, too. to pour out as much cheerfulness and lov ing kindness to my husband as 1 could. Then a day came when 1 knew 1 was to need all my courage. I had been dragging myself back and forth to work, trying to hide from Howard for weeks how ill 1 really felt. A suspicion cross ed my mind, which became a certainty. For a few weeks more I kept my secret to myself. I wanted to spare Howard all worry as long as 1 could. Then 1 realised it was only fair to him to give him a chance to shoulder our responsi bility with me. Thus one night, after we had come from dinner, and I had had a tub and gut myself into a comfortable negligee. 1 cuddled up In Howard’s lap. His arms were about me. My cheek was pressed to his Although I realized the future would be hard, and that there was much for me to dread, still I could feel no great fear nor sorrow with my husband close to me. It was not hard to be brave. ’•Howard.” I whispered, and leaning a little away from him that I might the better gaze into his face, "I want 'o tell you something. I shan’t be able to work much longer. I shall have to stop in a few weeks. I—” I paused and I felt the blood rush over my throat and Into my face. “J don’t feel very well—” I stammered, and stopped. •’Good Ix»rd. Di!” exclaimed Howard “What’s the matter, dear? Why didn’t you tell me before?” Suddenly he paused. There passed between us one deep, long look. My hus band understood. “Oh. sweetheart!" he said brokenly as he held me close to him. DOROTHY DIX SAYS TTJHEN is the love time of life? I Vl At what psychological mo -1 merit in one's existence is the j heart capable of experiencing the ten- I derest and most profound devotion to , another? Is there one day. golden .above all other days, when alone we may be thrill ed by the grand passion? In away. being in love is like having I a bad cold. Every time we are smitten down we think it is the worst case we ever had, and that we will never recover from it. For the most part, however, we do get over it. though there are colds that end in la grippe, or tonsilitis, or pneumonia, just as there are love atfairs that end in a wedding, and nothing would be more interesting to know than at what time during one's life these at tacks of the heart are most dangerous and most likely to be fatal. Not long ago a man was reciting to me the litany of the virtues of the young women he was about to marry—that she was handsome, intelligent, of good fam ily, and possessed an amiable disposi tion. When he had finished I said: "But it seems to me that you have left out the most important thing of all. You don’t tell me if she is is the only woman in the world to you, and- if you are wildly in love with her.” “Oh. I am sufficiently in love,” he re plied calmly. "I don't suppose any man ever pal pitates. and thrills, and gurgles at the rustle of a woman's skirts after he gets over his calf love. It’s only when we are in our salad day s that we are green enough to seriously contemplate suicide if our lady loves fail to smile on us. I When a boy is sweet-and-twenty, he I think’s there's only one woman in the I ■ world. When he’s 'orty, as I am, he' has ascertained that there are others, and that to be happy, though married, you must pick out a wife with your head as well as your heart.” "That’s not love. That’s common sense." I mocked. "The only time when either men or woman are really in love is when they are young.” insisted the man. “After we are old enough to reason about love, we may experience wonderful friend ships. but never the Are, and the fervor, and the passion of love.” I think the man is wrong. But poets and romances bear out his theory of vouth being the only love time of life. No novelist would dare to make his hero or heroine middle aged if he intended to enchant us with thrills and throbs of passion, and on the stage, no matter how subtly the actor portrays the part of the lover, our first demand is that he must look like a stripling. The mid dle aged lover is not convincing. Shakespeare makes Juliet, a child of fourteen, capable of the most profound passion. Rebecca and Di Vernon, and all of Scott’s other heroines of lofty de votion and high and heroic ffiould. range from # seventeen to nineteen. All ro mance is full of boys, still in their teens, who have done marvelous deeds of daring for the sake of some fair lady. Thus have we been misled by novelists and poetasters, for it has made us at tribute to youth the power of love that it does not possess. Incidentally, it has been provocative of much unhappiness because it has led many a girl and boy to regard their heart throbs seriously, instead of looking upon them lightly as mere growing pains. Undoubtedly when a boy and girl imagine themselves in love their emo tions are very poignant. Nobody wants a thing again with the same passion of longing with which they desired a red sled, or a doll .that talked, but the de sires of youth are fleeting and the toy it cried for one day, it throws away 1 the next. There is probably no youth and maid en. prevented from marrying their first loves who did not feel utterly sure that their hearts were broken past all mend ing. Yet. who of us ever met his first love after the lapse of years without panting to put up prayers in the temple i for miraculous deliverance? Also, it is a matter of cold statistics that the fire of youthful passion soon burns itself out. and that an overwhelm ingly large percentage of the cases that I becomt before the divorce courts are i nothing more or less than the disas trous results of early marriage. Yet if youth is too soon for love, when one is past middle age it is too late. Then one’s fine enthusiasms are gone, one’s hope and faith chilled, and one has learned to eat for one’s stomach, to marry for one’s head, and love is only an incident in life, not the whole of it. Sincere affection, warm friendship, con genial companionship they may know, but no man or woman after fifty ever experienced the grand passion. The real love of life comes with full maturity, when it is summertime with the heart. With a woman this is from i twenty-five to thirty-five, and with a • man from thirty to forty years of age When they have taken the measures of I their own deeds and desires: their tastes are formed, their character set tled into permanent lines. If a man or woman find then his or (her soulmate, the love that springs into -being between them is as imperishable as the spark of life itself. In it are merged all the strength of mind and body, and heart and soul, when every power is at its fullest; and compared with this love the boy and girl love is but the vaporing of children, and the love of middle aged but platonic friendship.

Candler In one of his sermons, lately deliver ed tn Boston, “Billy Sunday.” the evangelist, is quoted as saying: “Sixty-eight per cent of the men of the south’ are in the church. Why? You may not like it. but the truest, the purest, the finest men and women in America are south of the Mason and Dixon line. That’s the reason it took thirty million people to lick eight mil lion. There’s more pure blooded Amer icans south of the Mason and Dixon line than anywhere else in the coun try. That's why so many of those men are Christians. I say that, even if my oid daddy was one of the boys in blue and fought against them. They were hard to lick down there, because they were real Americans. So south of the Mason and Dixon line they have got the north licked to a frazzle in religion and morals.” Vice President Marshall delivered himself in very much the same way a few years ago. on the occasion of his address given at Agnes Scott College in Decatur. His language was more elegant than that of “Billy Sunday,” but not lees pronounced. The facts justify all that Mr. Sunday and Vice President Marshall, as well as many others, have said.

Y.” last half a century there has come upon the south the high duty of preserving and propagating the spirit and tradi tions of that Americanism by which the nation was originally established and through which it has achieved the no blest things in its history. Our section has been somewhat set apart to itself, and has thereby escap ed influences which have overspread and Injured other sections of the United States; and we owe it to the conserva tive elements of those sections to make such a stand here as will save both them and us from the most dangerous and destructive forms of radicalism. For such a work of conservation the southern people occupy a position of advantage which enhances their respon sibility and calls upon them for the most unfaltering fidelity. The Americanism in which the foun dations of the republic were laid was characterized by several striking fea tures. which have been most conspicu ously preserved in the south, and which are so fundamental to our civilization that they must be perpetuated in the future. The chief characteristic of this Amer icanism was the faith of the Ameri can founders in God. and their reverence for the authority of the Bible. They never doubted for one moment that the Bible was the work of God. They be lieve not only that the Bible contains the work ot God. but that it is in truth the word of God. in his Bunker Hill oration Mr. Web ster said of the pilgrim fathers of New England. ’’The Bible came with them, ana it is not to be doubted that to the free and universal reading of the Bible is to be ascribed in that age that men were indebted for right views of civil liberty.” That acute French critic of American institutions, M. de Tocque ville, said, "Religion gave birth to An glo-American society.” Another characteristic of primitive Americanism was its sacred regard for the Sabbath day. While the War of Independence was raging. Washington, who Incarnated the best spirit of the people, issued on May 2. 1778, this or der: “The commander-in-chief directs that divine service be performed every Sunday at 11 o’clock in those brigades to which there are chaplains—those which have none, to attend the places nearest them. It is expected that all officers of all ranks will, by their at tendance. set an example to their men. While we are zealously performing the duties of good citizens and soldiers, we certainly ought not to be inattentive to the higher duties of religion. To the distinguished character of patriots it should be our highest glory to add the more distinguished character of Chris tians. The signal instances of provi dential goodness which we have experi enced, and which now almost crown our labors with complete success, de* mand from us in a peculiar manner the warmest returns of gratitude and piety to the supreme author of all good.” Another characteristic of primitive Americanism was the place which wom en occupied in the social system. Be lieving. as they did, impllcity in the Bible, they accepted St. Paul’s teaching, that "the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church.” The women of the colonies were womanly to the last degree. One might apply to them justly the languas? of St. Peter: “After this manner in the old-Ume the holy women also who trust ed in God adorned 1 hemselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands.” Another conspicuous feature of the na tional spirit In the early days of the Re public was the jealous care of the peo- pie for local self-government. From Teuton ancestors on the banks of the Elbe through British progentitors who had wrung from the unwilling tyrants the liberties guaranteed in Magna Charts, the Petition of Right, the Bill of Rights, and the Habeas Corpus Bill, they had inherited the spirit of freedom. The Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation, and the Fed eral Constitution, palpitate with this spirit. There is no understanding these great doucuments at all if we fail to discover the sensitive jealousy for local self-government which pervades them in every part. These then were the great fundament al principles of primitive Americanism, namely, intense Christian convictions, in tense devotion to womanly modesty and domestic virtue, and a jealous care for individual freedom and local govern ment. In the maintenance of these prin ciples the fathers of the Republic show ed uncalculating fidelity. Commercial considerations could not seduce them to to depart from their convictions, nor could any pleas for a spurious progress corrupt their iprinciples. From these principles sprung a civilization of the highest type, and any declension from them must lead to a lower type of civil ization. There is nothing in the condi tion of the present which requires the re nunciation of these principle®. On the contrary, everything around us and ev erything before us call for their asser tion and maintenance. We can not have an enduring Republic without an abiding Christianity, which acepts the authority of the inspired Book, and walks in the ordinances of the living God. As Lamartine well said: ‘An atheistic republicanism can not be heoric. Wihen you territy it, it yields. When you would buy if, it becomes venal. It would be very foolish to im molate itself. Who would give it cred it for the sacrifice —the people ungrate ful and God nonexistent?” M. De Tocqueville speaks to the same purpose when he says: "Despotism may govern without' faith, but liberty can not. How is it possible that society should escape destruction If the moral tie be not strengthened in proportion as A CHILD IN JUST A Fffl HOURS If cross, feverish, constipated, give “California Syrup of Figs.” Mothers can rest easy after giving “California Syrup of F igs," because in a few hours all the cloggecl-up waste, sour bile and fehmenting food gently moves out of the bowels, and you have a well, playful child agoin.

Hand back with contempt any other fig syrup.—(Advt.i the political tie is relaxed? And what I can be done with a people who are their own masters, if they be not submissive to the Deity?” It is fortunate for the country and for the South that evangelical Christianity, and the social principles To which ref erence has been made, have been main tained in our section. We owe it to the whole country, and to the world that these principles shall continue to pre vail among us. And it is time our peo ple went beyond a mere defensive atti tude with reference to these things. l The?’ should begin to spread them. Thev should join hands with good men of other sections in propagating them. To this end they should jealously guard the evangelical type of Christianity which has always characterized the South, and theyv should vigorously resist any and all encroachment upon the Sabbath day. In neither of these great points of ad vantage must any compromise be allow ed or concessions be made. DeKalb Pension Payments DECATUR, Ga., March 10.—Ordinary James R.
