I like V stop an' hide a hit at tit' different cabins strung along th' trail an alius th' first topic of conversation th't crops up Is ahout our young hero of th' air an' th' girl Jit; alms t' marry. Us folks here in tit' mountains still set a great store hy that old 'fashioned ceremony called a weddin'. We hold th't th' Lord himself" has guarded th' sacred ness of marriage with strong instincts in th" cleanest an' th' best of his creatures. An' it bears out our belief. when this youngster with th' halo round his head elects t' get himself married in tit' time worn method without ary whisper of free love. t Here and on th' Klhow a married couple is like a pair of scissors; so joined th't nolhin' c'n separate 'em, often goin' in df if 'rent directions, yet alius crushin' anything th't comes between. We all know a heap about Charley Lindbergh. Ho is our hero; and we have named everything we could after hiiu front our babies to our finest colts. A good man is abroad an' this old earth knows an' feels it. J 1 is heart holds no guile. We have learned th't he Is a man of ret lection whoso daily nets are controlled by Judgment; it man who realizes th't this life is a real an' an earnest affair an' th't time also flies. It ain't anything but natural that a deal of Int'rest must center in th woman who will be his wife. When us hill folk want informashun on any subject from whenf plant our coin I' what color t' paint our homes we write down to Wash ington for it. So J took my pen in hand an' writ t' .Marthy Pratt's boy, who is praeticin' his law trainin' on th congress men, an' asked him what lie c'd tell me about .Mr. Morrow's daughter Anne. Well, he writ back most friendly-like th't he had made a extended survey of th' informashun fieid. and as accurate as ho c'd determine fer a condensed report, Anne .Morrow was just ,a sweet, wholesome, womanly woman. There was iiite a lot more in th" letter inclmlin some big words th't I couldn't figure out; but when them two wo Ms womanly woman is said, it's all said anyhow, I reckon. Fer there is nolhin sweeter this side of th' spirilland th'n lofty womnahood. It is th womanly woman who wields th' scepter of authority among men. Where she is there Is alius refinement, intellect, moral power, life in its highest form. An' so th' world is content t turn over its beloved hero to you, Anne .Morrow, an' to wish you every happiness In your wedded life. An' us folks here on th old JOIbow Join with th rest of th' world in offerin congratulations to you. Charles Lindbergh fer accordin' to th', words of old ilenry Ward Heeclter.

Will her labors be a labor of love or will these duties become hurden- sonic after the honeymoon is over? Of coui-.se it does not all depend mi the bride to make happiness; the young husband has his share in the home-making.

She should be encouraged in her efforts hot It in housekeeping and in her cooking, in her personal ap pearance, in fact in ail wayw where she tries lo please.
