WHY SOCIALIST BRIDE
AND HUSBAND WROTE
OWN WEDDING RITUAL
MARBLEHEAD, MASS., Juyl 23.
Mrs. Edmund Trowbridge Dana is a
Socialist bride all right..
But she emphatically denies that the
ceremony which changed her name
from Miss Jessie Holliday was a So
cialist ritual.
The English portrait painter and her
young husband are spending their
honeymoon here. She has taken the
newspaper descriptions printed on two
continents of her wedding very serious
ly.
So seriously, in fact, that she has
written a letter “To the People of
America." %
And this bride sign herself: "Yours
for Socialism and free speech (not free
love; press kindly notice)'. Jessie Hol
liday Dana."
Mrs. Dana's eyes sparkle when she is
engaged in conversation, and, by the
way. when she is present Mr. Dana
has little chance to exhibit his conver
sational powers, so full of thought and
the desire to express it is his wife.
"It was love at first sight," was Mr.
Dana’s reply to a question. "We first
met two years ago. but were not en
gaged until the following year."
"It is all wrong," said Mrs. Dana, “to
attribute everything to Socialism—one’s
religion, habits, etc. You might as well
say that a man is a Republican because
he is a Roman Catholic.
"For instance, the ritual used at our
marriage was not a Socialist ritual, al
though the newspapers have said it
was. We made it up to please our
selves.”
Bride's Letter to Public.
Here is Mrs. Dana's unique letter:
To the People of America: I want
to protest most strenuously against
the way in which the press has
dubbed our wedding a "socialist
wedding."
From the numerous cuttings
about it. I have read sentences and
headlines which imply that we dis
pensed with a church service be
cause we are Socialists. Even that
most well informed and serious of
papers. The Daily Telegraph, of
London, starts thus: "Socialist
wedding, Remarkable ritual" (leav
ing out the best parts), and pro
ceeds to describe the civil contract,
thereby suggesting a necessary
connection between socialism and
irreligion.
All this shows either the univer
sal ignorance which prevails about
Socialism or else the desperate and
undignified efforts of the business
interests to give it a bad name. Let
me here state, for my husband and
myself and for all the Socialists of
the world, that Socialism has no
necessary connection with Atheism,
Agnostictism or any other irrelig
ionism. You can be a Christian, a
Mohammedan, a Theosophlst, a
Unitarian, a Plymouth Brethren or
what not and yet be a Socialist at
the same time.
The Fabian society and the inde
dependent labor party of Great
Britain both number many Episco
palian clergymen among their
ranks, to say nothing of ministers
from other denominations. There is
even a Socialist bishop, though
bishops are apt to be hand in glove
with the big business interests; I
don't know how they reconcile ft
with the gospel of poverty — per
haps they are all busy squeezing
the rich man through the needle’s
eye as practice for the gate of
heaven.
We have also in England the
Christian Social union—a large
body of churchmen which works
for and identifies itself with So
cialism. I was a member of these
three parties and have spoken be
fore all of them, so I write with
authority. In America, too, I have
met many Socialists who are also
Christians—the genuine article—
really applying their religion.
Mr. Dana and I do not believe in
the present day conventional re
ligion. We debated at first wheth
er to employ for our marriage a
Socialist Unitarian minister who is
a great friend, but we finally de
cided that all the services had been
spoiled and made meaningless by
having been used lightly, so we
made up our ritual to please our
selves. with no idea of forming a
pattern for Socialists or any one
else.
We tried to express ourselves as
man and woman, not as politicians.
It had nothing to do with our ideas
on government. Do for goodness
sake got out of your heads that
Socialism is also anarchism, athe
ism, free love and destruction of
the home! It's a wonder people
don’t think it’s a hair restorer or a
tonic! It will be both incidentally,
but that’s not its main function.
Tried to Avoid Politics.
Socialism is merely a scheme of
government whereby the chief
means of production, such as rail
ways, harbors, mines, etc., shall be
held or controlled by the state in
stead of by private individualsand
com panies.
Socialism wants the business of
the people to be run by the people,
for the interests of the people.
Capitalism sees to it that the busi
ness of the people is run by the
capitalists for their own interests.
The present system of capitalism
is like some fabulous monster of
ancient times, its two heads mark
ed respectively Democrat and Re
publican, so as to gull everybody.
But what dragon devoured so
many children and ruined so many
youths and maidens as this foul
beast of reality? What Is break
ing up the home but this system
that forces the parents to work so
long and so hard that they have
neither time nor energy to care fol
their children? What is destroy
ing the family but this system
THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. TUESDAY, JULY 23, 1912.
which creates wealth out of the
labor of the lives of babies? What
accounts for most of the saloons
and drinking dens and the sweat
shops but the money-making,
"practical” business interests? Is
this "true religion and undefiled ?’’
Mr. Dana and I don't think much
of a religion which tolerates this
state of affairs. We think Social
ism the practical outcome of
Christ’s teaching. Any one who
reads his Bible intelligently and
compares it with the best Socialist
literature will agree.
But Christ was only a carpenter
—on strike —and was crucified for
exposing the hypocrisy of the rich,
so, of course, "the pints" can't take
Him seriously. They can say,
"Lord! Lord!” and pray when
“they may be seen of men," and
they certainly "have their reward."
People of America, don't you be
humbugged by this monster con
cealed behind his cloak of "Chris
tianity," charity, protection, etc.
Just you sit down and read up
about Socialism by Socialists and
then get busy through the ballot
and straighten things out a bit.
Why, I wonder, did they call ours
a "Socialist wedding" and then
leave out the only Socialistic part
of it? I refer to the question: "Do
you both intend to bring up any
children you may have to the best
of your ability and for the welfare
of the human race?" Was it just
stupidity? or was Judge Ben Lind
sey's "Beast" at work?
Youis for Socialism and free
speech (not "free love." Press
kindly notice!)
JESSIE HOLLIDAY DANA.
Explain About Religion.
“Socialism is a scheme of govern
ment," Mrs. Dana said w'ith her hus
band's assent; "it does not influence
our ideas about matrimony.
“It is not true that Socialists are
opposed to religion. Many Socialists in
England are members of the Church of
England, even clergymen, and one
bishop. Socialism is applied Chris
tianity.”
"We were married by the civil law
because we care more for the spirit
than the form," the bridegroom put in.
"The chuich forms have been so often
used lightly that they have lost all
meaning.”
And then the young man stated his
theology.
“Modern Christianity," he said, "is
very different from that taught by
Christ. I do not believe Christ was
divine, or that we humans need a Sa
vior. I can not think of a perfect* God
creating an imperfect world. Orthodox
Christianity is neither inspiring nor
ethical nor true."
And Mrs. Dana nodded emphatic ap
proval. Both Mr. and Mrs. Dana were
brought up in the Protestant Episcopal
church.
During the conversation it developed
that Mr. Dana is looking for a job. His
ambition is to be a teacher of ethics.
He has studied with this end in view
and hopes that some college or school
will bid for his services.
Mrs. Dana will not, she says, aban
don her art. She has exhibited por
traits in the Royal Academy and has
won silver and bronze medals from
schools. She would like to decorate
public buildings.
C. W. MORSE GAINING

But Mr. Morse has rallied remark
ably fast, and when seen by a corre
spondent today said: "1 am feeling re
markably well and my old-time health
and vigor is returning.”

HOST OF BLONDES
FOR MILLIONAIRE
Real Estate Man Flooded With
Offers to Wed His Wealthy
Client.
NEW YORK. July 23. That plump
blonde desired by the mysterious mil
lionaire widower has gone to Jamaica
in such numbers that the heavens are
shamed by the cerulean blue of her
eyes and the sunlight dimmed by the
luster of her hair.
And she has written so many letters
to David L. Hardenbrook, the real es
tate agent of 319 Fulton avenue, who is
seeking a wife for his client, that the
village postman’s back is nearly broken
delivering them.
The specifications given by’ Mr. Har
denbrook when he said he wanted to
find a 140-pound, blue-eyed, twenty
year-old. golden-haired girl for an
eight-mllllon-dollar husband have been
ignored.
"Lightweights” who only tip the
beam at 120 pounds have applied; one
girl wrote to say that she had the
smallest feet in Hoboken, and she
thought that ought to be enough for
any millionaire. Another girl allowed
that her two winning dimples ought Io
make up for the color of her eyes—a
beautiful, melting brown.
A brief note that Mr. Hardenbrook
has just received said that the appli
cant had a "cheerful disposition and
belongs to one of the best families in
America." He sighed and laid it down
only' to take up another, which read:
"I have beautiful blonde hair that
reaches below my waist, blue eyes like
old china and a slightly turned-up nose.
My' friends say, though, that it is a
pretty nose. I think so sometimes my
self when I look in the glass.”
The young people of Paterson have
formed a syndicate to hunt for the
right wife for the millionaire. They
think they have found her. “She is a
perfect Lohengrin Elsa,” wrote Mr.
Hardenbrook’s informant.
The millionaire is really worth $20,-
000,000, instead of the paltry $8,000,000
first mentioned by the real estate
agent! He has said so himself. The
smaller figure was given out so as not
to dazzle the girls with too much
wealth!

GIBL RUINID HER
FAIR COMPLEXION
"Some one told, me It would stop
perspiration and I would not need even
shields any more. 1 had always suf
fered acutely from the odor of my
perspiration and was w illing to do any
thing to stop it. but I didn’t know it
would ruin my complexion."
I his was the pitiful story she told her
physician. She had used some astrin
gent powerful enough to contract the
pores and stop perspiration, with the
result that the body could not throw
off impure matter through the pores,
and this impurity went back into the
system and broke out in pimples and
large, sore, eruptive boils.
Never try to stop perspiration. The
more you perspire the more impurity is
leaving your system, and your com
plexion should be clearer.
To destroy the odor of perspiration,
USE HID. It is a pure, dainty, cream
deodorant; nothing more. It never clogs
pores nor retards perspiration. It sim
ply makes the skin deodorant; perspi
ration will flow freely, but will have no
odor. HID Itself is odorless, and sim

jure you. and will not soil your lingerie.
All healthy people perspire in the warm
