As we rode through the village, the
houses every one
Were open to the west wind and merry
with the sun—
All except that one house, shuttered
from the day,
Like a soul in sorrow who hides his
face away.
As we rode past the village, it w'ould
not quit my mind
she little house in trouble the we hai
left behind;
Smoke lifted from the chimney, but the
closed door cried,
“0, hurry, my, O, hurry by, nor seek the
grief I hide.”
Oh, little house in trouble; when back
again I ride
God grant I see your windows shine,
your doors flung wide ,
Ard all your new-grown garden trem
ulous with spring,
Like a face that smiles again through
peace of comforting.
—Theodosia Garrison.

JUNE BRIDES’ VEILS.
Enter June, the month of the bride.
r„ is right at hand and will be usher
ed in on Friday of this week, and nat
urally one of the things to be consid
ered in connection with June bridis
is the veil the June bride wears. The
Woman's Home Companion for June
gives some of the newest views upon
this interesting and timely topic. It
says:
“The Russian style in bridal veils
is the latest for the bride who wants
to look taller. Wired lace above a
bandeau of pearls is topped with
plaited tulle. From under the bandeau
floats the veil.
"For the youthful bride, the wedding
veil may hang from a big. fluffy tulle
bow at the back of her head. Instead
of a bandeau of pearls, she wears a
braided bandau of tulle and orange
blossoms.
“The bride who loves things artistic
will welcome the Moyen Age veil. It
is draped over the head, falling in
front to the knees. A place is cut for
the face to peep out, which is outlined
with fine pearls. The bandeau is silver
ribbon or satin; the veil, tulle or
silk Brussels net.
“The lucky blue garter is now lace
frilled ornamented with a heart of
orange blossoms.”
We think this has gone sufficiently
into details, even for the Woman's
Home Companion.—Savannah Press.

MRS. NELLIE PETERS BLACK
ISSUES CALL TO GEORGIA WOMEN.
ATLANTA, Ga., May 30.—Through
Mrs. Nellie Peters Black, president of
the Georgia Federation of Women’s
Clubs, Governor Harris has called on
the women of the state to aid in the
military registration. In obedience to
the request of Governor Harris, Mrs.
Black now issues a call for every club
woman of any organized or non-organ
ized body to give service in seeing that
all men of registration age shall give
in their names at the appointed places.
“This,” Mrs. Black says, “is abso
lutely essential in order that the gov
ernment may know how many men in
uodn peifK> 0Q A ' Bta sWriS Pell’Ll Ot D
for service. No census has been taken
since 1910. Therefore, this is the only
way' in which definite Information may
b : obtained of the men in each state.
Every woman in Georgia is asked to
give her service on June sth to see
that every man in her community gives
in his name. We do not want any
shirking. We want Georgia to do her
full duty. This was is a *rugg’e
which will end either in the triumph
or the extinction of the United States
as an independent nation.
“Women of the state, here is your
opportunity for patriotic service. Make
the men see their duty. Haul them to
the polls. See that they get there.
Your honor, your safety, and that of
yotir daughters is at tsake in this con
flict.
“As your president, I have faith in
your powers. I know that you will do
your wull duty because you have never
failed when called upon in any emerg
ency.”
Mrs. Black asks that the press of the
state give full publicity to this appeal.
If Your Boy
is called to the service of his
country, it may be many
months before you see him
again. Have you a recent
photograph to remember
him by.
Let Us Picture Him As
He is Today . . . .
