THAT’S MY WEAKNESS NOW
Have you heard the popular song,
"That’s My Weakness Now”? And
have you ever stopped to wonder if
all G. S. C. W. girls have practically
the same weakness or if each has a
different one? Here i» what the
representative girls of the senior
class say about their hobbies.
Carollton, Georgia, who was voted
Miss G. S. C. W., as well i
all .Jtound student on the calnpus
says, “My favorite pastime right now
is playing games. The one I like best
is, “You can't have any of my pea
nuts.” No, Carrie has not reached
her second childhood, she is super
visor of physical education in the
Practice school and really enjoys her
PROMINENT MILLEDGEVILLE
PEOPLE EXPRESS THEIR
OPIONION ON “SHOULD
MARRIED WOMEN WORK?"
"There are just lots of things that
I enjoy doing, I really don’t know
which would call my hobby," was
Frances Christie's answer. Now
that is to be expected of the most
cupahl esenior, but if you asked the
student body, I think the answer
would be, "Doodle’s weakness is
playing for us during pictures."
Katherine Harris, the witty girl,
rmilcd and said, “I like to get a
good book, preferably a biography,
and read while I eat candy." When
l see the increased size of many
freshmne I begin to believe that Kat
is not alone in her weakness.
“Probably I should say that roy
weakness is studying, but I’m going
to be honest; it is football gan
You have probably guessed who said
this. Why, it was'Dorothy Thaxton,
the most intellectual.
I stopped Cleo Jenkins, the most
popular girl at G. S. C. W., and the
hurrying to a class. She said,
used to have time to think but be
tween managing the business
the class, calling senior meetings,
and going to classes, I haven’t any
hobby, unless you consider working
one.” Our Hat’s off to you Cleo,
Seniors .appreciate your spirit.
Nell Combs of Locust Grove, who
was selected as the most stylish girl,
said, “You pfohably expect me to say
that my weakness is pretty clothes.
I’ll admit that I like them, but there
are lots of other things that I like.
At present, my main thought is about
ChristmaM holidays.” Now she has n
weakness that si popular on the cam
pus at present.
“Ever since I can remember I’ve
Enjoyed tennis more than anything
else.” I was not surprised to hear
Dorothy Little, the most athletic
“Jessie" say this for she has been
the tennis champion every year since
best |Bhe has been in college.
Elise McCrary, who way voted the
prettiest senior, said. “My hobby is
going to the readnig room in Annex
B and C every night after supper and
listening to the impromptu program
that is always given."
With the laugh that has made her
famous as the happiest girl on the
campus, Florence Rogers said, “I sup
pose my hobby right now i» working
on newspapers. I’ll be that until
the Union Recorder is printed any
way." And most likely' it will be
something entirely different after
that for “Venus” does hnv
one most every’week.
“The fart that I gave up a fasci
nating position on the New York
Herald to marry, shown what ray
opinion is, “said Mrs. David Fergu
son in an interview nt her home Sat-'
urday.
“After thirty-five years, I do
regret ir.y choice to give up my work
to make -a home," Mrs. Ferguson said
positively, clasping her hands.
Mrs. Ferguson continued, her blue
eyes smiling. “One of the members
of the New York Women Press
Club told me on my wedding day to
let someone else write my stories and
make my speeches, but nobody cine
could mother my girls and be my
boys’ best friends. I still think that
my loveliest poem* were bound in
white muslin, and had blue eyes.”
“To make a home is one woman’s
job," Mrs. Fergunon concluded
seriously.
When 1 asked Mr. Warnock if he
thought married women should work,
he answered, “Well, it’s a proposition
that you cannot say "yes" or “no” to.
Sometimes circumstances force one
| to work. Ordinarily, however, 1
htink a wife’s work in the home is
more valuable than her salary.”
Mr. Warnock put his hand on his
face, and stared into space thought
fully. In a few minutes, he added,
school. I'enjoy my wrok, but it’s a
double job.' - You have to live by the
cldckT' SOW, T° u caniA» your houiw-
iHe'how with all the conveniences
we have in one hour, whereas it'
used to take six."
She concluded, gesturing with her
hands, "So my answer is a married
woman should, work provided
If the Lord gives a person a talent.
He expects that person to use it."
There was no hesitation on Mr. E.
E. Bell’s part, when I asked him if
he believed in married women work
ing .
“Why, yes, I certainly do believe in
it Anybody who works is haiA'ier
than one who doe? not,” Mr. Bell
firmly replied.
When I asked him if he did
think that the large number of
«»eking jobs did not keep s
from securing jobs, he promptly
answered,
‘Why, no. There arc enough
jobs for those who want to work.
The automobile , industry is opening
up positions for many.men. So you
see my opinion is decidedly that
ried women- should work if they
want to. Everybody is happier

Mrs. Nellie Womack Hines laugh

she was to discuss, and said,
“Well, honey you already know my
opinion from my occupation."
She sat down on the coal box in
her husband’*) den, and clasping her
hands about her knees continued
meditatively,

In “Claustrophobia,” a story pub
lished by Scribner's, Remy Co^ffTove,
the daughter of a New York banker,
•and a ranchman, Phil Warned, fall
in love.
Phil arrives in New York fur the
wedding rehearsal; but after it is
over, he notices his bride is a bit
“bossy.” He decides he cannot go
through with the ceremony.
With these things in .mind, Phil
goes to Remy and tells her they are
making a mistake. Remy appeals to
his manhood, and sense of fair, play,
and shows him how embarrassing it
would be to her for the wedding to oe
called off so suddenly; and he agrees
to do anything she suggest* to save
her feeling*
Phil agrees to her suggestion to
let everything proceed os had been
planned; then, when tho timo for the
ceremony comes, she is to be absent.
The night of the wedding, when
Phil and his best man go up to the
altar—here comes Remy, pacing down
the aisle tq, join him nnd "Red
as u rose was the.”
Leave it to the woman!
A BOW IS NECESSARY
If you would smartly express the
prevailing tendency for things fem
inine, you must have at least one
bow! A bow of ribbon it is of course
but nevertheless a most important
item on the new fall costume. Rib
bon trimming is becoming exceeding
ly chic nnd has a diversity of uses.
The most interesting part of'ihis lat-
e.it fashion foible is that you can
make nil these charming ribbon de
tails yourself. Just a few yards of
ribbon and a little ihgt’tttlYfy will
mako the cleverest of touche*' for
your new coat.
