Old Man Folks:
Are you so old now that Romance
is walking on crutches of yester
year? Or do you care, really, as to
whether Romance is alive in the
House of You or not? Had you not
been Just folk and pretty much like
the rest of we, I'd never have asked
vou so serious a question as this.
'Cause I know these are fast times,
and our greatest Romance In life
is, “The keeping up with ourselves,”
the which we are nearly a thousand 1
years behind. Take most of us for
a sort of example. This morning we
can't pay half the bills we owe, nor
can we make half the new ones we'd
like to make! ’Cause we are ven
turous beyond ourselves, are we not.
And isn't this Romance?
But there is another side to Ro-,
mance, the same as there is to a:
Hill-billy record. Susan, the Glam- i
mor Girl, may be on the one side,!
while on the other is our own bad
boy, or maybe ourselves in a truer
light. We play one side and then
the other, and when it is all over
we stop and think a little bit—may
be for the first time in ten days or
more. But we were touched by Life
itself, or we wouldn’t have thought
any more at all. perhaps. In this
Romance has its beginning.
Sit me on a mountain,
Please don't let me jump;
Miss Mary Curtis spent part of

at Rocky Plains.

children spent Sunday wiih Mrs.
Lillie Mobley.
Mr. and Mrs. Reba Bankston and
son, Curtis, were the week-end
guests of Mr. and Mrs. Roy Darby,
of Salem.
Mr. and Mrs. Nathaniel Mobley
and family spent Sunday with Mr.
and Mrs. Troy Mobley, of Starrs
ville.

C. D. Mabry.

Canup and her guest, Mrs. Emory
Plunkett.
The way Is mighty pretty—
But the awful ugly bump!
But Romans Is Not dead and we
can go on planning a trip for the
morrow, and yet another one. 'Cause
Romance isn't even befuzzled about
its edges as yet—for as one thing
dies a new thing take s its place. A
pretty cloud passes over our sun and
I hen a prettier—and there never
was a dream as beautiful as the
one we hope to dream tonight. I
reckon this is Romance, too. Today I
is going to die tonight, but—but we
look away and see a new sun for
another new morning and — our
hopes are again painted gold!
The days we wish for slips by us
as would moments in a pretty
dream. They then become a path ov
er which we have traveled and to
wards The One Romantic Night.
The beautiful evening and when we
will fold our arms against our breast
and bid farewell to All Romance
for, and if ... we have beautiful been good, j
we will wake into a same
ness w hen the heart will have no !
_
more desire for rambling again. For. |
I believe the meaning of Romance
after all, is The Heart's Home Go- j
ing. For it finds no perfect rest in
this man’s world. Yet there are
touches enough of Love's many fin
gers to keep it moving on, on and
on.
The bell of Romance rings,
Their tones are wonderfully clear.
A voice within us sings.
And Love is everywhere.

ON THE ROCK
I sit on ihe rock, by the tick of
clock, ,
'Time tells me to wait for Romance;
I can not be still, I see
hill—
I'll climb it or risk m« a chance!
Beside me sits Love, the coo of my

The woo that Is bidding me go—
I see in a dream the sails on a
stream, .
And bound for — I’ll say I don’t
