ATTHETABERNACLE Q
Rev. R. E. Neighbour will continue
his lectures tonight taking up chap
ters 17 and 18 of the book of Revela
tions concerning the fall and judgment
of the great city, Babylon.
Mr. Neighbour has been giving some
very interesting lectures from night
to night this week at the Tabernacle
on the book of Revelation, and these
lectures will continue on through Sun
day (Saturday excepted) and possibly
into next week.
This book is a revelation of many
things which are coming to pass in
this day and time, and it is very in
teresting and important that we know
what it reveals, but strange to say it
is very little read and studied. Now is
an opportunity to learn ^ome of its
wonderful teachings.

Little Miss Marie McIIatton, who
has been quite ill with bronchial pneu

many friends are glad to know* she is
better.
Katie Drake and Elberta Miles are
cousins. But even cousins sometimes
fight, and in this instance it seemed
to have been a case of “Greek meet
ing Greek,” even if their complexions
were so dark, for nearly enough evi
dence was brought out to send these
two antagonists to Sing Sing. Each
told ail the faults and miscondust of
the other for her whole life, but de
nied flatly the evidence brought out
against herself. There were two
witnesses in the case, but they only
knew’ that the two women came very
near fighting and had to be separated,
and so mpst of the time was taken up
with the accusations of the defendants
who would barely hush even after a
fine of $5 had been imposed on each.
Then the witnesses started, for they
thought they had been fined also, but
they soon were quited, as they were
told that they might leave.
Mr. Harry A. Etheridge, one of At
lanta’s most prominent lawyers and :

address at the Colonial open house
Sunday afternoon at 4 o’clock.
Mr. Etheridge spoke here last year
to a large audience, who will remem
ber him with great pleasure, and, no
doubt, turn out to hear him again this
Sunday. Ilis subject will be: “A
Christian Soldier ” and all those who
have heard him know just what to
expect.
He is an exceedingly interesting
speaker, a man * widely traveled and
a great student of human nature. He
will give tjj the men of Athens some-' ’
thing for "them to think about, and
will, no doubt, be the means of helping
many who may be in confusion con
cerning their future Christian expert
ience and other usefulness.
There will be a charging orches

ership of Prof. Walters, from 3:30 to

The doors will be opened at 3:15 so
that all may be seated and enjoy each

free.

The Exhibition an Effort to Better
Our Opportunity in Aesthetic Matters
There u a collection of oil paintings
on exhibition at the University library.
The exhibition is open every day and
will continue for two weeks. It is
for every one to sec.
The collection has been procured
through the American Federation of
Arts at Washington and is made up of
works of contemporary American
paipters.
The object of the exhibition is a
purely unselfish one. Opportunity to
see good paintings with leisure to
study them comes our way too seldom
It is only when seen repeatedly that
can be madt to yield what they
have to disclose. It is in an effort to
j batter our opportuni** in this direction
that the present exhibition has been
arranged, and it is hoped that public
appreciation will be such as to justify
the plan to arrange another each year
to come.
In order to meet the expenses of
transportation, insurance, boxing, and
collecting a charge for admission has
been placed at 50 cents for adults and
25 cents for children aiui students.
According to the u4ual custom of
galleries, the exhibition will be open
Sunday afternoon from 3 until 6.
On week days the exhibition will bo
open from 10 until 2 a. m. and from
3 uni i/6 p. m.

J. P. BROOKS FOUND DEAD.
Columbus, Ga., March 13.—.T. P.
Brooks, aged 58 years, was found dead
at his home yesterday and the coro
ner’s jury said death was due to nat
ural causes. His wife died a year
ago and he had slowly grieved himself
to death over his loss. Mr. Brooks was
connected with the Bush Hardware
company and was well known here. He
was the father of T. E. Brooks, of
Atlanta.
This is just one of the Paris hints
of spring fashions. There are many
more. It is by Paquin, the Frencs
designer of costumes for women, and
is known as a new print of mandarin
crepe.
The color is dark blue, trimmed with
maroon satin, which makes a charm
ing color combination. Several strik
ing features are introduced. The three
tier skirt with Van Dyke points shows
the continuance of the tierred effect
and the discontinuance of the straight
around hem. The back droop of the
sash adds to the general pulled up ef
fect in front and the tendency to short
waistedness. The shape of the collar,
longer and looser over the back and
shoulders and very short in front,
shows a corresponding effect.
With the exception of the narrow
ness of the skirt proper around the

in
of looseness. The skirt tiers, blouse,
and sleeves are all decidedly full, but
more so to the back than front. This
seems to be a feature in all the new
models. The narrowness of the skirt
tiers, tunics, or peplums toward the
front is so pronounced that an almost
skimpy effect is given, while the ef
fect from the back is quite the oppo
site and decidedly voluminous.
With the grown of'the sketch was
worn a hat by Virot, of maroon straw,
the color of the sash and collar. The
only trimming is a bow of ribbon at
the left side of the same shade. As
will be noted, the hat is worn at a
slight angle. The smartness of these
little hats, which are to be worn a
great deal this spring, depends very
much upon the angle at which they
are worn. If they are «ot tilted the
least bit, in most cases coming a little
further down over the right eye tha*
the left, the chic effect is lost.
