Marrying for Fear of Being an
Old Maid.
Dorothy Dlx, In AtlanU Georgian.
A yountf woman, who is earning a
good Halary, with a better one in sijfht,
writes me that her parents consider it
a disgrace for a girl to be an old maid,
and that they continually urife her to
marry anybody she can net in order to
be able to be write “Mrs." before her
name.
The (;irl does not want to marry un
less she can better her condition in life,
nor does she wrnh to rnarry without
Jove. None of us, however, can shake
off the superstitions that are bred in us,
and the things we are taught at our
mother's knee, and so she wants to
know if it is a reflection on a girl and a
humiliation to her family for her to be
an old maid, and if she had better marry
any sort of a stick of a man than to re
main single.
No, A thousand times no. The
poorest trade that any girl ever makes
is when she exchanges a sixty-dollar
job for a forty-dollar husband, and
nothing on earth can justify Buch folly
except for a woman to be so madly in
love she has taken leave of her senses.
That any girl should make such a bad
bargain when she’s not in love, and
merely for the sake of being married,
is a piece of idiocy that would be past
belief if we didn't see it done so often.
Nobody will deny that a happy mar
riage is the most blissful estate in the
world, but there can be no happy
marriuge in which the woman does not
love, admire and reaped the man to
whom she iB married. Nor is there any
happiness in a marriage in which the
husband iB not able to aupport the home
in decent comfort.
For a woman to he married to a man
whom l«he does not love and honor
spells misery for her. For her to be
married to a man who cannot make a
comfortable living means wretchedness.
There is no other slave on earth who
workH so hard as the wife of a very
poor man. The girl who workH in fac
tory, or Btore, or ollice has her hours of
labor determined by law, beyond which
the most cruel taskmaster cannot drive
her. She has her pay envelope at the
end of the week, and, generally apeak-
ing, she has no anxieties beyond pro
viding for herself.
The poor wife and mother toils from
dawn until far into the night ut tasks
that are never done. She receives no
pay for what she does, and Hhe has her
heart continually torn in pieces with
anguish over the deprivations her chil
dren muHt sullcr, and the fear that the
time will come when Hhe will not be
able to even give them bread.
Nothing hut an overwhelming pas
sion for some man thut makes a woman
feel that ahu would rather starve and
slave at his side than to ride in auto
mobiles and feast on terrapin and
champagne awuy from him Bhould
tempt a girl to give up a good position
in the business world to marry a man
who ia making less than she does. A
great love can gild the hardest lot, but
without love the Hacrilices a poor man's
wife must make cut into her very soul,
and makes her curse the day she wus
fool enough to marry him.
We do not atop to consider the sig
nificance of the thing morally, but this
ia the first generation of really virtuous
women the world has ever known, be
cause for the first time in the history
of the world women have been able to
marry for love alone, and not forced to
marry for a home, and between the
woman who marries just to get some
man to provide her with food ami rai
ment and shelter, and the woman of
the street, there is no whit of differ-
ence.
If ajgirl can marry well, if she can
marry the man with whom she
cm take an upward step in the
world, by all means let her enter
the holy estate. Hut to marry when
she doesn't love, and just any sort of a
makeshift of a man just to he marry
ing, ami to keep from being an old
maid, is not only a crime—it means the
wreck of happiness in her life.

In an Omaha church a preacher shout
ed, “Is there a man present who has
never spoken a cross word to his wife?”
The silence was becoming oppressive:
every husband wanted to get up. but
did not dare to. Hut a moment Inter a
round-faced, good nalured man rose
from his seat. “Thank God!” exclaimed
the preacher, “there is one man who
has never spoken a cross word to his
wife." The good-natured man smiled
a bland smile and said: “No, sir, 1 nev
er did. I'm a bachelor.”

Hugh Dorsey Decides to Stay
Out of Politics.
AtlanU Constitution, 21st inat.
Hugh M. Dorsey, Solicitor-General of
the Superior Court of Fulton county,
has declined to run for any political
office.
In a brief statement, which he issued
late Saturday afternoon, he finally set
at rest the many persistent reports that
he would make the race for Go'vernor
or would oppose Senator Hoke Smiths
In declining to offer for office, Mr.
Dorsey does bo with no strings tied to
I his refusal. His statement is suscep
tible of but one construction.
For months Mr. DorBey has been im
portuned to run for Governor, to run
for Senator, to offer for Court of Ap
peals, and to make the race for other
positions. However, the majority of
his admirers Bought to put him in the
Governor’s race. He has received hun
dreds of letters, BChres of telegrams
and many petitions.
Not until last week did he have the
time to give the matter serious con
sideration. As he atateB, he would
have declined to allow the use of his
name weeks ago had he had time to
consider the matter. During the past
week ho went over the situation care
fully and determined to decline.
The following statement was issued
by Mr. Dorsey Saturday afternoon:
“My official duties hnvo been such
for some time that I have been unable
to give consideration to personal or
political matters. During the past few
weeks i have received many requests
that I permit the use of my name for
political oflice. If I had made earlier
reply to theBe requests 1 would have
undoubtedly declined, and without
giving the suggestions due considera
tion. The number and nature of these
requests have been such as to demand
earnest consideration on my part.
"I have thought of the matter from
every viewpoint and am finally unable
to find any compelling reason why I
should alter my original inclination.
“I am grateful for the compliment
conveyed by these suggestions and am
gratified that they have been based
largely upon expressed approval of the
discharge of my present duties. I feel
that I am not entitled to any special
recognition for the performance of of
ficial duties which, however onerous,
are and have been performed with
equal fidelity by similar officials of this
and the other circuits in Georgia. I
have, therefore, decided not to offer
for any office.”

A White Farm.
G. G. Brownell In Thu Progroualve Farmer.
During a recent vacution spent in the
North we were driven through a most
prosperous country, lined with beuuti-
ful farm homes.
Among others we passed a white
farm. The house was white, the barns
were white, the fences were white.
Milk-white cows were grazing in the
fields and snow-white chickens were
running upon the lawn. A huge white
dog lay upon the grass and a while
horse, with white harness and a white
carriage, was hitched to a white post
by a white strap. The white graveled
drive wus bordered with white rocks.
A white fountain threw up a white
spruy, while white ducks lloated upon
the water beneath.
Just as we drove by, a lady dressed
in pure white, with white shoes, stepped
out of the door und seated herself ir, a
white hammock.
The whole effect was most striking,
ami was excellent example of advertise
ment without expense. The cost would
have been the same if no attention had
been paid to one color. There wus no
need of giving a name to that farm. It
is known as the White Farm for miles
around, and is one of the show places
of the district.
The same idea, of course, could be
carried out with other shades.

Directions for Growing Alfalfa in
the Piedmont Section.
Pro* Tensive Farmer.
1. Select a well-drained soil, with no
wet or "spouty” places in it. If the
land is wet it must he drained. Al
falfa will not grow in a wet soil.
2. In the spring put on two to four
tons of ground limestone per acre and
plow under.
3. Next, put on a good coat of ma
nure, and two to four tons more ground
limestone per acre,, and harrow and
mix the same with the soil with a disk
harrow.
4. Drill in 300 pounds basic slag and
50 pounds muriate of potash per acre,
and sow the land to cowpeas or soy
beans.
5. Turn under the cowpeas or soy
beans in late summer. Apply 600
pounds basic slag and 100 pounds mu
riate of potaBh per acre. Inoculate the
soil with some soil from an old alfalfa
field; or inoculate the soil or seed with
some of the artificial cultures adver
tised in The Progressive Farmer. Pre
pare a good, fine seed bed, and sow 20
pounds alfalfa seed per acre, not later
than September 15.
0. Remember the following points:
The more limestone you use, the
longer your alfalfa will last. He care
ful not to cover the alfalfa seed too
deep. Cover It with a weeder. Do not
mix it with the fertilizer.
In sowing inoculated soil or seed, do
the work on a cloudy day—sunlight will
destroy the bacteria. Do not undertake
too large a plat at first. One or two
acres is enough to start with.
Always sow the alfalfa alone. Do
not sow it with oats wr other grain. Do
not sow alfalfa in the spring.
Start a small plat of alfalfa. It will
make you a better farmer.
Get Rid of Your Rheumatism.
Now is the time to get rid of your
rheumatism. You can do it if you apply

hard, Homer City, N. Y., writes: “Last
spring I suffered from rheumatism with
terrible pains in my arms and shoulders.
I got a bottle of Chamberlaip’s Lini
ment and the first application relieved
me. By using one bottle of it I was en
tirely cured, ” For sale by all dealers.
A lady who is a district visitor be
came much interested in a very poor
but apparently respectable Irish family
named Curran living on the top floor of
a great building in a slum district of
her parish.
Every time she visited the Currans
she was annoyed by the staring and the
whispering of the other women living
in the huilding. One day she said to
Mrs. Curran:
“Your neighbors seem very curious
to know who and what I am and the
nature of my business with you.”
“They do,” acquiesced Mrs. Curran.
“Do they ask you about it?”
“Indade they do, ma’am.”
"And do you tell thhm?”
“Faith, thin, Oi do not.”
“What do you tell them?”
"Oi just tell them,” was the calm re
ply, “that ye are me dressmaker, an'
let it go at that.”

They were leaning over the line fence,
these ladylike neighbors, and they
seemed to be having an argument.
“How do you know it is so?” asked
one lady.
“I said it was so, didn’t I?” the
other came back coldly.
"Uhhuh, you did. And 1 suppose
its your idea that what you say goes?”
“Well, if I say it to you it does —it
goes all over town.”
This bit of repartee started so much
trouble that the police had to be sum

Helen had coaxed her mother to go to
a neighbor’s to spend the evening. Af
ter much persuasion her mother con
sented to go, but just as they were
getting ready the doorbell, rang. It
was an old friend who called very often.
Helen, much disappointed, was forced
to sit down quietly and not let on she
had intended going out. During a lull
in conversation she thought she heard
the gate click and she exclaimed:
"There comes some more company;
now we won't get to go."
Needless to say, the old friend left
j and Helen went to bed.
The Kalsomined Kind.
Baltimore American.
Is the 1914 girl less a work of nature
and more a work of art—or of artifice
—than she of a decade ago, or of the
year before last? We hesitate for near
ly two minutes over the melancholy
verdict, but there seems to be no avoid
ing the conclusion that young women —
some of them —too many of them —are
making over their faces in these days
in a way that is simply loathsome to
the man who recalls the tanned and
freckled but wholesome and lovely
girls of other days.
The use of rouge and some kind of
face kalsomine by girls who are not yet
out of their teens is such a matter of
common observation that there can be
no mistake about it. And this freakish
and frightful fad is by no means pecu
liar to Baltimore. The Philadelphia
Record in a recent issue declares that
“our sidewalks are crowded with young
women who imagine that they make
themselves fetching by the use of
rogue and whitening their noses, till
they look like plaster of paris.” The
Indianapolis News has also discovered
that this is the day of “painted faces
and clamorous perfumery,” but re
marks with a sigh of resignation that
“they seem to harmonize with one-
piece bathing suits, slit skirts and sil
houette frocks. ”
It was not so long ago that the sum
mer girls went out boldly and fearless
ly for all the tan and freckles they
could find. But, alas! and alack! the
girl of this 1914 summer is to be a thing
of kalsomine, aniline, and, in short, a
travesty of nature! But, thank heaven!
only a few of them! In the large and
general run the 1914 summer girls are
too sensible, too instinctively honest,
to take up with the kalsomining fad.

When Jasper got back to his office
his boBS said:
"Look here, does it take you half an
hour to go down to the corner and do
an errand for me?"
“It did this time, sir,” answered
Jasper. “A man dropped a quarter
down a hole in the sidewalk.”
“And it took all this time to get it
out?”
“Yes, sir; you see, I had to wait un
til the man went away.”
