IT PAYS TO PAINT THE BETTER THE PAINT THE BETTER IT PAYS STERLING PAINT Pays Longest Dividends on the Investment “IT IS A PAINT WITH A PURPOSE” Phones: Main 1115; Atlanta 329 DOZIER & GAY PAINT CO. 31 South Broad Street Only Reason Vacation Romances Do Not Last Is Because Peo ple Laugh, She Says. If Miss Gladys Watkins, one of At lanta’s prettiest society girls, had her way, the good old summer time would no longer be nn open season for flir tations; friendships formed under the spell of the full moon and the moun tain breezes would be as lasting and as firm as friendships formed before an open fire, and sure-enough, honest- to-goodness romance would feel as much at home In a rowboat as it Is In a sleigh. “Is there any good reason,” asked Miss Watkins, "why every romanco that begins during summer should bo greeted with skepticism and labeled a ’summer flirtation'.” Why should not summer, the most beautiful season of the year, be as good a time as winter for forming everlasting friendships? 1 think it’s a shame that every time a girl meets a man at a summer re sort and speaks to him kifndly once or twice, it is set down as a flirta tion—when in reality they may like j each other very much. “A girl meets many nice men at the seashore, in the mountains or where- I ever people go to escape the heat. Yet if she likes one particular man and they go together much, people laugh and say, ‘Oh, it’s just another sum mer flirtation.’ And that luugh hfu» I destroyed many a romance. Knowing that no one will take them seriously the man and maid are not apt to take themselves very seriously. “Summer has simply gotten a bad name and can not get rid of it. A girl is not nearly so apt to believe the things a young man tells her in summer as she la to be lieve the same things In winter. And it is because she has heard all her life that summer friendships were Just flirtations.” Legislature Praised By Governor Slaton Words of praise for the work of the I Legislature were spoken by Governor Slaton Friday night at a banquet given to the Wavs and Means Com mittee of the House at the Capital City Club by Chairman L.
