Twenty years experience in testing the eyes and filling Ocu lists’ prescriptions. HINES OPTICAL COMPANY 91 Peachtree St. Between Montgomery and Alcazar Theaters 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 HIS OLD-TIME VIGOR BATH, MAINE, July 23.—Six months ago Charles W. Morse, the former "Ice King" and banker, was freed by Presi dent Taft from further serving his sen tence of fifteen years in the Federal prison at Atlanta.

CONSTANTINE. Prop and Mgr. Corner Peachtree and Decatur, Entrance 1!H Peachtree Street 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! 500 SWEDISH SINGERS IN NATIONAL SAENGERFEST DULUTH, MINN., July 23.—Two con certs, one this afternoon and the other tonight, at the Lyceum theater, consti tuted today’s active program for the Swedish United Singing societies at the national saengerfest in session here.

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 ply keeps the clean freshness of the hath about you all day. It can not in jure you. and will not soil your lingerie.
