THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1913. 5 7 he Evening Story Her Value (Copyright, 1913, by W. Werner.) Saturday evening: the Clover club of the Young: Women’s Christian associa tion save a party to one of their mem bers. She sails for bonny Engrland this week and this grave her friends a chance to be with her one more time. None of us know that we shall ever see her again, as her home is over there and her parents, of course, want her wiu* them, but she loves Atlanta and the “Y. W.” “How did she happen to be here?” I hear some of you say. There is a brotner here and when she came to vis it him two years ago she liked Atlanta and her associates so much thatt she got into the business world and has made such a name for herself that her employes hate to see her go. The party was given Saturday even ing because almost all the offices and many of the stores close at 1 p. m. that day, thus giving their employes a chance to do something for themeslves. From 6 to 9 were the hours set and very promptly the guests arrived. Some were in suits, some in their newest fall costumes, and some took that op portunity to wear their prettiest sum mer dresses, for the girls are infomral in these parties. Each guest was decorated as she en tered the Y. W. C. A. rooms with two tiny flags, one was our own U. S. and other Ada’s flag. Over the pi ano was a beautiful British flag, and the decorations were green and white, the club colors. Delicious fruit punch was served, and later a dainty supper of chicken salad, pimento sandwiches and nabiscos. Every member of the club is a fac tor in the business world, yet they find tim 0 for their club meetings once a week and an occasional frolic, for “all work and no play” is as bad for Jill as it is for Jack. Their parties do not cost them a great deal, because they prepare the refreshments themselves. Those pimento sandwiches were made by two sisters after they had been be hind counters all day long. The com mittee in charge of the decorations went straight from their typewriters to the Y. w. C. A. rooms Saturday and had things ready when the first guest arrived. Every year the club gives some sort of entertainment to raise money to send delegates to the summer conference and pay incidental expeness. This June they sent two delegates from ‘ their own club and also paid all the expenses of two girls from a big factory. That was something worth while for it opened a most de lightful vista to those girls. I wish every girl that comes to this or any other city could be induced to join the association right away and tnus get in touch with the club life of the girls. In so many ways it is a help to its members. The girl who be longs to a “Young Women's” club has the finest sort of social opportunities, bae also is sure to be looked after in sickness or sorrow. I could tell you of a dozen instances where they were vis ited in sickness, but I can only give you one: A girl came here to learn a certain business. Before she had been here long 6he-was taken sick. A timid girl, she had made few acquaintance^ except among her immediate associates. Some of these were members of th£ associa tion, and when she was sent to the hos pital it was reported to the Clover club. Thinking that she would have few vis itors the girls appointed certain ones to send her post cards, one every morn* Ing and another in the afternoon. The morning card was to have a jolly idea and the other was to give her a bit of comfort for the weary hours of sleep less nights. From the treasury was taken money to buy her a growing flow er and the girls took up a collection and sent her money to buy ic ecream once a. day, for she was under too much ex pense to afford ice cream, and to a fever ish girl nothing is nicer, I went to see her as often as 1 could, I was there one afternoon when she spoke so beautifully of the way the girls had brightened her hospital life. “I think I shall always remember it,” she said, “for I believe I shall go to heaven when I die, and that may be very soon and even in heaven I shall remember.” I asked her if she was suffering more than usual. She said no, that she felt stronger and was freer from pain. That night God’s messenger called for her forever, freed her from the ills hu manity is heir to. There were five marriages among the Clover girls last year and each one had a shower or a dainty reminder; so you see the members are cared for in sick ness and in health their pleasures are added to. You won’t And a jollier set of girls than these association girls. Once I chaperoned some of another club, the S. I. S. P. girls, on an evening’s frolic. Ponce de Leon was in its palmiest season. We took our supper with ns, and in a cosy nook enjoyed that. Then we began at the beginning and saw it all. Twenty were in the party, and the idea got out that it was an excuqpon from one of the girls’ schools, and various courtesies ♦ were extended to us. That, club has done some splendid philanthropic work, too; so you see they do not join it and fall into a sanctimonious rut. They are like Leigh Hunt advised his dear little girl to be—they “do noble things,” not “dream them all day long,” and would blush to know that I am telling you of their kindnesses. There is so much that is horrible, that is discouraging, that is debasing, published every day it seems that each of us should try to find some thing encouraging, something uplift ing and enlightening to tell when pes simists publish the other. This Chat is like life—it shows the sunshine and shadows; and to each one who reads it .1 can only say, “The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich; and He addeth no sorrow to it. He hath showed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee but to do justly and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?” Do these things, and a peace the world cannot give will keep a song in your heart at all times. So believe this woman, who is Faithfully yours. LIZZIE Ci THOMAS. TRUE AND BEAUTIFUL. 'Tis first the true and then the beautiful, Not first the beautiful and then the true; First the wild moor, with rock and reed and pool, Then the gay garden, rich in scent and hue. ’Tis first the good and then the beautiful, Not first the beautiful and then the good; First the rough seed, sown in rougher soil, Then the flower-blossom, or the branching wood. Not first the glad and then the sorrowful, But first the sorrowful and then the glad; Tears for a day—for earth of tears is full, Then we forget that we were ever sad. Not first the bright, and after that the dark, But first the dark and after that the bright; First the thick cloudy and then the rainbow’s arc First the dark grave, then resurrection light. ’Tis first the night, stern night of storm and war; Jx>ng night of heavy cloudy and veiled skies; Then the fair sparkle of the morning star, That bids the saints awake and dawn arise. —HORATIUS BON AH. TWO GOOD SUGGESTIONS Dear Miss Thomas: Some of these days there will come a wise man, or woman, who will show us a way to do all our housework in half the time that we now take. True there are all sorts of devices now. I have a fireless cooker, and can stay away till the last minute and find all that I put in it just right. I have a gasoline iron and can talk to my friends and do the work, provided I don’t get too emphatic and run that iron up to the scorch ing point. I Want a vacuum cleaner as soon as I can get two neighbors to go. in with me, they are too expensive for my pocketbook, and are not needed every day. I know a woman’s club that bought one and rents It to its members. It has more than made its price for the club. I don’t see why some enter prising girl does not get one and make her Christmas money helping her neighbors with their fall or Christmas cleaning. It would be silch an accommodation that she would be considered quite a public benefactress. Had I the time I would certainly invest in one and make it pay for itself. Won’t some of the readers tell us of their summer or fall work, and how they intend to make their Christmas money? We might help each other with our plans and suggestions. HELEN WHITE. WHO WILL ANSWER THIS? Dear Miss Thomas: Two children are In school, two are at home and one is in heaven. Four boys on earth and a dear little girl among the angels. Her little life was only three months, three months of keenest suffering, therefore we saw from the first a loving Fa ther’s hand in her removal. My husband is not a rich man. I have had to work hard and there is no other prospect for any of us. True, I’ve lived comfortably and have been able to stay at home, but there is a terrible burden on the mother of a grow ing family If the Income does not reach all the way. I’ve made ends meet, but It has taken systematic work to do it. I know just what my husband can hand me every week and I try to supplement that by all sorts of devices. I’ve bit on one now that I hope will be a pleasure to the whole family. A friend gave the boys a pair of Persian kittens, they have become staid cats now and the boys have sold three of their kittens. At first the idea of parting with the beauties almost broke their hearts. I reasoned with them and showed them how Dice it would be to have $10 to put with some I had and get father a new overcoat. That appealed to them. I would have hated for them to sell their pets solely for the money itself. There will be time later on for them to be taught to bailk it. Too many children are thinking of their parents as money-making machines. As you have said so many times. Miss Thomas, selfishness is back of nine-tenths of the unhappiness in the whole world. The love • of money is said to be the root of alJ evil, but from selfishness springs that love of money. I am often troubled about a “symp tom” one of my sister’s boys shows. He is an affectionate child, but what he gets he holds on to. His brother is only fourteen months younger and always has the same things Rachel Vernon was pressing: her son Steve’s trousers in a hot kitchen on a mid-summer afternoon. Her back seem ed broken in twain. Sweat dampened the edges of her gray hair and the. hand that held the flatiron burned like fire. Rachel was a flat figured woman, with lean brown arms and hands. She had never been pretty and middle age had ruthlessly deprived her of whatever charm she once had. Wifehood and motherhood she had accepted as her Zt was very hot in the kitchen. sacred destiny, and neither her husband nor her four children ever had heard her complain that she was giving more than she got. Yet now, with her strength worn to the last shred of endurance, with her whole body mutinying in one violent ache against more toil, she raised her eyes $o the window and looked out at the day’s washing swaying on the line and wondered at the ways of Providence which made environment for woman without consulting her as to its fitness. Rachel had eyes that looked very dark in her sallow face. They saw farthelf than the gleaming washing and what they saw made her shudder. For she was beginning to doubt the scope of her own physical endurance. “What will become of them if I give up—if I have to give up?” she thought. “They are so dependent upon me. But I must not give up yet.” The screen door opened and a little girl ran in from the back porch. She was six years old and proportioned like a fairy. Like a fairy, too, she was an exquisite thing of radiance and beauty. “Mamma,” she gasped, “look!” She held up a tiny bleeding finger. Her big blue eyes were full of a pained surprise at the hurt. Rachel smiled, knowing the nature she had to deal with. “Oh, it's’ only a little cut. I’ll bind it up.” She neatly covered the hurt, then she kissed the child tenderly. “All right now, dear, aren’t you? Then run away,” she said. “Mother is busy.” “I want to iron, too,” pouted the child. Rachel reached down a toy flatiron from the shelf, took a towel from a near-by drawer and gave them to the qhild. . “Now you can iron, dear.” She drew a long breath as she watch ed the child make her elaborate prep arations for ironing. The make believe task was to her as serious as the real one. And yet how different! “You mustn’t bother, dear,” she said. “Keep your work over on that side of the ta ble. You see, these are Steve’s pants and he wants them to wear to a party jtenight. And I've a great deal else to do before supper.” Rachel was beginning to feel a little giddy. It was very hot in the kitchen— growing hotter from the range and the concentrating rays of the afternoon sun each moment. That was, of course, what made her feel faint. It would pass away in a moment. She was of late somewhat afflicted with vertigo, es pecially when it was hot. She rested oxi her iron looking at her child’s bent head with its aura of gold. Suddenly the air shifted and spun, the little at tentive face blurred, the opposite wall drew in and blackened before her sight. She felt herself going, cried out. grasp ed at the air and fell crashing, with her head an inch from the iron edge of the stove. Presently she knew' a great commo tion was about her. The telephone bell was ringing, a doctor was bending over her. In the backbround familiar faces showed, blurred somewhat. She heard voices considerably softened, but did not care to distinguish what they said. Then upon all this confusion uncon sciousness came a second time. Daw’n around her. She knew it was dawn, that gray, cool light which gath ered between blank white walls. Blank white walls. Why, all her walls were papered! And the woman in seersucker —nurse! She moved her head, spoke: “Is this the hospital?” The woman smiled. “Yes. All is well. But you must not talk. You must rest.” Cool, competent Angers slipped from her wrist to her forehead. Something was held to her lips. She swallowed and—slept. Days pased before she was able to think connectedly or realize exactly what had happened to her. Then she learned ^hat her fall was the outcome of a physical collapse; that she just had missed braining herself on the edge of the stove; that as it was she had broken three ribs. Two or three times each week her family came to see her fo r a few minutes. Her hus band usually brought Katherine. The boys came singly or together. All acted shyly in that environment and in the presence of the nurse. They did not talk much. Yet they told her that they were getting along nicely. They had Mrs. Griggs in to do the work. She came at 7 and stayed all day. She was very good about looking after Katherine. When she was not there they looked after Katherine, Yes she did worry- given him that Charles has. But If it la de visable you may count on Charles having all of his share put away and he will be enjoying George’s. He does not take it by force, of course, and Nellie tried punishing Charles but it hurt George, too. Their father laughs and calls Charles “a shrewd trader.” But I don’t think the underlying principle is just right. T watch for all such in my boys and they never pass through a day without hearing me ask the question “Is it honest?” I don’t want them to be so generous that they will have to be taken care of in old age. I believe in putting up a little that really, costs self-denial, but I don’t believe in putting up one’s own and us ing another’s. I wish some of the other mothers would tell us how they are working out these problems, j And I think it is a little as the mothers who i have worked them out can do to tell us how they managed. As we go along a public high way we find red lanterns, or pieces of timber across the dangerous places, telling us not to walk there. Why can’t some of the older parents show us how to avoid the weak or dan gerous places along life’s road? Sincerely, GEORGIA HOBSON. No, she needn’t w<TPry. There was nothing to worry about—she would find there wasn’t when she got home again. Yet she did worry. Lying there in her cot, carefully tended by a nurse, who put the personal element into her work, she could see behind her closed lids every corner and cubby of her house. Yes, Mrs. Griggs would look after it well enough. The fam ily would not suffer. They would not miss her. Ah! That was why she worried, why her heart grew heavier. They would not miss her—she who had tried to fill so large a place, to make herself indispensable to them, to impress her personality on their very souls. She had stepped out and her little world went on, not as if she had never been, but certainly as it it could get along without her. Some times she felt that she could not bear it silently. In time she came hot only to dread going home, but to feel that she did not want to go home at all. She had been forced to see her own inadequacy. How could she go back and take up v/hat had been wrenched from her hands? They had learned to do with out her. They must now learn to do without her. The time for her departure from the hospital arrived. She was still weak, but better than she had been in a long time. There was no longer any excuse for convalescence. Her husband came with a cab to take her home. His manner was contained. He seemed to have got a great way from her. So indeed had they all. Her heart beat fast as the cab turn ed into the narrow, familiar street, and faster as it drew up before the house where she had lived all her married life. Her husband stepped out and opened the door. He led her up the steps and into the house. Her children were all there.

SAVE$I5to$50 ON YOUR NEW BUGGY From tho Qolden Eagle Factory Direot to You 190 STYLO* IN FRI8 OATA. LOO A The lessons during the past quarter have covered that part of the history of the Children of Israel which dealth with their distress in gyut, their deliverence and subsequent disobedience. They be gan with th record of the people in such distress that they were in destera- tion. They described the discovery of the child, Moses, subsequently to be their leader; his and preparation; his efforts to arouse the nation and to supplant the broken spirit of the peo ple by such courage that they dare not bringing upon the Egyptians a terrible retribution for their wrongs upon Israel, his learing the people out of Egypt and on their way to the promised land. We follow him past the springs of Moses, through the days, and among the moun tain tops, until we come to the plain of Er Rarah. We see him draw near to the mount where God was and disappear in the cloud covering the mount, and assend Es Sufsafeh, where he received instructions for the institution of the worship of Jehovah. Watch him as he comes down, forty days later, and find him righteously indignant at the people quietly and kissed her. It was the calmest of welcomes. She sat down and looked about her. All was in good or der seemingly. She had no fault to find. Yet she wanted to cry. Instead, she asked: ‘Did my fern die?” “I guess not, mother.” It was Steve who answered. He rose and went into the next room and came back with his arms full of green luxuriance. “I saw to this myself every day, mother,” he said. “And I looked after your window box,” put in Ted. “Mother, it’s a dream.” She was beginning to wonder very much. These careless boys had proved themselves not so careless after all. Presently they led her up to her room and there she found a transforma tion. It had been done over in the color she loved. There was a new rug on the floor and a new sewing chair. “We all saved for that rug,” Steve said. “I guess we got the one you wanted. We tried to.” She stared about her, her eyes swim ming. “It£s beautiful—beautiful,” she murmured. There was a silence while they all crept closer. “We missed you, mother,” Steve sai<L softly. “Gee! If you had seen ur trying to eat and crying over every mouthful.” - “I guess yes,” breathed Ted and Dick. Katherine clasped her mother's knees. “Dad and the boys said I was real brave for a little girl, mother,” she confided. Her husband wiped his eye*. “It’s been a terrible experience for us all,” he choked. “But, thank God, it’s over and we’ve got you home safe and sound.” One after another each added his quota to the budget of general thank fulness. And so Rachel was made to know the truth that ever after was to enrich and sweeten her whole life. She had her value after all and the knowl edge was worth all she had paid for it. for having forsaken God so soon, and having made the Golden Calf. We catch a glimpse of the spirit of Christ in him as he goes back into the mount, and intercedes with God not to destroy His chosen people, but to blot him out, if necessary, that the people might be saved. There has quite a change taken %*-*ce among the people themselves. under the cruel system that Pharoah instituted they had become disheartened, cowed in spirit, and without hope of ever being able to realize the promiss which God hade made to their fore fathers, to Abram, Isaac and Jacob. By a very cruel plan the king of Egypt was en deavoring to wipe them out of exist ence as a nation, while preserving them as servants; by destroying all the male children that were born, it was his hope within a generation, through marriage, to mingle their blood with the blood of his people, and thus ©perpetuate them as slaves, haroah had not reckoned God into account at all, and Israel’s ex tremity became God’s opportunity Next, While the plgues served to terrify the Egyptians this also served to sertngth- en the spirit of the Israelite’s. Dis couragement began to give place to hope, and the spirit of the people was hearten ed eo that they were able to acquire their independence • of life which was necessary, to their strength as a nation. Encouraged by those evidences of God’s powers they were willing to near God’s servant, and followed him through the Red sea. The mfirvel of it is that they should have ever doubted God after that; but when some few weeks later the monotony of the desert road made them discouraged with their lot, their supplies having been exhausted, they complained, first of having no water to drink, and then of the water getting hot ter, and then of the sAmeness of their food. If it wasn’t one thing it was an other. Finally their discontent cul minated in the idolatrous act, when, un der the leadership of Aaron, they wor shiped the golden calr. With the for mation of this image, they became guil ty of idolatrous practices which always accompanied the licentious worship of idols among the heathen. THE GOD OF ISRAEL. The great truths we have been learn ing as we have studied these lessons are not the details concerning the peo ple nor lessons of Moses’ life primarily, but about the God of Israel. We cannot understand the teaching of this unless we appreciate the broadness of the plan for God’s people of which this has been a mere section. We must realize that God has a plan, that for the devel opment of His plan He had chosen Ab ram and had given him a special prom ise which He was sure to keep. God had not forgotten His 'people when they were in Egypt. He finally established them in Canaan. Though often they re jected Him, just as often He forgave them. Today for ^disobedience God has let his people be in darkness but He will bring them, when the King comes back, where* they will acknowledge him and through the restoration of Israel the per fect plan for the whole world will be perfected. You can see. therefore, now only a small section in God’s plan. But while he had apparently forgotten them. He had not taken His thoughts from them for one moment. He shows Him self through His dealings at that time as God who hears the cry of the dis tressed, and as one to whom we can turn in our distress, and know He hears and answers. We see Him as a God who delivers His people, and as a God who cares much for the comfort of His people, their physical needs, that he gave them food to eat and water to drink; for not one day did they lack anything Iftat was necessary, and during their whole forty x years’ wandering, their clothes waxed not old. and their feet did not swell, so minute was the care God gave to each of them. He gave them a vision of Himself and of His will, which in its essence shows Him as holy, and majestic, and as utterly incapable of sin in any form. He revealed His will to His people that they might know how they should walk, so that He might make them a kingdom of priests and a nation whose chief characteristics will be holiness. Best of all, He showed Himself a God ready to pardon, merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abundant in loving kind ness. When they forsook Him, He did not forsake th&n, but forgave them freely when they sought forgiveness. Did you ever know the meaning of the word 'loving kindness? It comes from the Anglo-Saxon word kinness, the relationship we bear to our closest of kin. Those relations sometimes are not all that they should be, when they are controlled by loving affection—then we have loving kindness or loving kin ness such as that which God displayed in His relations with the Israelites as those who deal in the most loving way with the nearest of kin. And this, above all others, is the most glorious picture God gave us of His dealings with Israel. As you go back over your own life, how like the Children of Israel you find yourselves — distressed, discontented— disobedient. That sums up all of them. As you think of the great provocations you have given God you can appreciate the truth of Nehemiah’s description of Him. I am sure that you will say from your heart’s experience “Thou are 8 God ready to pardon, merciful and gra cious, slow to anger and abundant in loving kindness.” If you cannot, shut yourself up in a room and stay on your knees until you catch a glimpse of your own life and His, and until you acknow ledge Him as Your God. FAMOUS ACTRESS LOSES 70 POUNDS OF FAT Texas Guinan, Stal* of the “Passing Show” Company, Offers Her Own Marvelous New Treatment to Fat Folks ' NEW TREATMENT GIVES ELEGANCE OF FIGURE AND STARTLING RESULTS QUICKLY If You Are Fat and Want to Be Thin, Yoii Can Reduce as Many Pounds as You Desire By This Astonishing New Method Alien Statistics WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.—There wer* 138,244 Immigrant aliens ad mitted to the United States during the month of July, according to sta tistics made, public by the bureau of immigration. As Texas Guinan bad to perform at the mati nee it seemed the easiest thing In the world to arrange an interview without consulting her. The vigilant stage doorkeeper was easily passed. The dressing-room was hospitably turned open by a maid, and then—well, Miss Guinan, tbat is, wbat is left o't her, appeared. “So you have come to learn the story of my weight reduction, have you?” said Texas in her breezy style, with her glorious countenance beaming in smiles at her supreme gladness, realizing how appreciative the world was in be stowing admiration and applause upon her, all on account of the new glory of her form, which she transformed almost as if by magic with her own mar velous new treatment. “While you are not going to get away with my secret,” said Texas, “it is true- that my seventy pounds of weight reduction was brought treatment, but it cost me a pretty sum of money to learn about with my own delightful of it, and I am not giving my secret of how I lost my weight free to reporters, but 1 have written a book tell ing alJ about this wondrous new treatment which rescued me from the thralldom of fat. This book has just come off the press and is of fered free to fat burdened men and women, as I early learned in life that the only way to know happines* was to give it to oth®rs, and if by letting the world know of this harmless, quick meth od of reducing weight I can do a great good, then I will feel that I have not lived in vain.” “But won’t you give me an iakling of Its component parts? Just a sug gestion as to what it is, or will I have to be content to read your free book telling me all about it?” "Tbat is exactly it,” said Texas, “but I don’t mind telling you what the treatment is not. It does not consist of internal drugs or medicine; there is nothing to take internally. Neither is there any pink colored camphor water, or worth less, harmful stuff to rub on the body. There is no sweating, no bandages, no Turkish baths. The treatment does not consist of a singlo exercise or physical culture of any description. There is no diet. One may absolutely eat all the food they desire of any kind, and go right on reducing without depriving themselves in any way. “There are no enemas or flushing of the colon, no harmful massaging, no sweating garments to wear, no immerging yourself in hot baths with the tub filled ‘with obesity water or epsom salts, nor does it include any medical concoction of any doctor, and It has nothing to do with any drug store prescription to have filled. There Is no formula to carry out, no soaps to rub on the skin; neither is it a religious faith cure or Christian Science stunt. It is not a vibratory electric massage treatment, mental suggestion— no, and it Is not a belt or mechanical device of any kind. “I have tried many such fakes. I tried drugs, pills, capsules, harmful concoctions to rub on the body. I have tried sweating and taking Turkish baths, exercising, physical culture and everything known to science without result, and without losing weight.

God’s masterpiece and the most fascinating act r ess in America. to reduce my enormous weight, which was two hundred and four pounds, I, by lucky accident, learned of the most simple, harmless, rapid, safest fat reducing treatment on earth. I tried it on myself with astonishing results. My friends stood aghast in amazement, marveling at the wondrous change in my appearance. My fat Just rolled away.
