Ax 1 ride over my mail route hark through lb' Hollow an'
Into th' Turkeyfoot sort ion. 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.

The new bride should be fitted to
really make it all that the word
meftiis; all it can be made to mean.
Has she really educated herself
for a home-worker ? Will she turn
tiic income into making the very
best of life and Joy and rest and
comfort; or will she lie willing to
carry her share of the home mak
ing business?
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. The two
should study how to work together
in the new home; learn to share
land bear with one another.

i gather together a few necessities
for the new home will give more

) wife
hould be encouraged to get i
the little bits of hric-a-bi-ac with
which to add to the beauty and
comfort of the home. sSho should
be careful not to go beyound her
means and to go slowly just at tirst.
I in this way she may prolong the
joys of acquiring the many new
things necessary in the new home.
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.
A couple seldom understands one
another just at first, so each has
to use patience and good judgment,
