ali set for the great Democratic Na

here on June 26. And while Houston
has been bending every effort toward
perfecting plans for the convention
civic leaders have not been overlook

Although the movement and actual
construction of the con want ion coll-

have beeu impressed with the idea
that they are not building a tempor

The city of Houston was laid out
according to a well-defined city plan
by it's pioneers. Leaders of civic life
tn villages, towns and cities through
out the nation are expected to absorb
some concrete ideas on city-building
when they are in Huston for the con
vention. These local leaders are
pioneers and it is to them that future
generations will point when their
towns become cities.

Very Much In Love
Dear M*.?s Vera,
I am 17 years old and very much
fn love with a fellow who is a few
years older than I. After going to
gether several months, we became
engaged We decided to get mar
ried when I'd be about 19 years
old. and as this is a long time to
wait we thought wed break the
engagement, (with the understand
ing that some day we would
marry.
I have always been true to him.
and told him everything. He has
promised to do the same, and I
believe he is pretty troe so far.
Other fellows have asked me to
go with them, but I refused be
cause my thoughts go back to the
one I love. He does not go out
with different girls. He has told
me often that he loves me. Do
you think he loves me if he waits
till I'm of age? Everybody tells
me that he is not worthy of my
love, and that I'd be foolish to
marry him But I love him and
no one else.

The Most Expensive Thing
You Ever Bought
Now honestly, what was the most expensive
thing you ever bought ? Wasn’t it the dress, or the
pair of shoes that you put away in the closet
after a few wearings— the article that didn’t quite
please you when you got it home.
Sometimes this is because your mind was too
uncertain but generally the article did not look as
well after a few wearings as you thought it would.
That is exactly the reason we do not sell “sec
onds,” job lots or bankrupt stocks. Our merchan
dise must stand the most rigid inspection before we
offer it to you. We don’t want any of those “ex
pensive purchase.” to be from our store, if we can
help it.
