A Humorous Story, Oomplot* ((TT seems a curious perversity of fate," aalfl the young marriej woman, "that I should have a husband who really has a high regard for clothes, when so many women complain that they c*n not enlist their husbands’ attention or check books In that noble cause. "When Charles said yesterday morn, lng, 'My dear, you will attend to or dering your spring hats before long, will you not?' I knew It was useless to put off the matter any longer. So I promised him that I would get somethlng'that very day. I laid aside that wonderful new play of Strind bergs that I was going to take ©v*r to the park and read, and the poor dear wrote me a cheek and went to the office looking quite relieved In his mind. “After he had gone, I stopped to finish only one act of Strindberg and then J started. On the way downtown I figured out Just what kind of hat 1 should get. "It was not so hard t« plan on# In my mind, but It was a different mat ter to find the hat that I had planned, I Went to six shops and tried on about 80 hats before I began to feel dis couraged and decided that there must be something wrong with my looks. She Looked Wild. “In the sixth shop I met Mr*. Pel- ton, who looked wild-eyed and bellig erent, and had a curious little straw concoction set upon the top of her hair, with round red objects falling off the back of It like a oeck of apples descending a stairway. "When she saw me, she clutched me menacingly by the arm, as If I were responsible for the present social sys tern, for she said: ‘Isn’t It an outrage that human intelligence has to be ex pended upon pursuits like this! They talk about the senseless fashions of women I Ho they realize that men make these styles and then forte them upon us?. Do you know the meaning of this whole Insane subject of fashion? It’s a device perpetrated by the merchants and manufacturers to get rid of the unconsumed surplus Now, when our sex has the ballot, I hope ’ "I calmed her down, as much as I could by telling her that I felt that way about it. However, I was so re lieved to find that perhaps the trouble was not with my looks, after all, that I walked over to a counter where sev eral untrtmmed hats were piled up In a bin and a lot of women were clutch ing at them and bought the flrat one from the top of the hean. It was light and soft and felt comfortable and did not make me look entirely like a ca- toon when I was trying it on, "So great was my relief at ending mv search that I took home the ha’ with quite a feeling of satisfaction. I reasoned that It would be a simple matter to trim it myself, for all 1 should have to do was to leave off most of the things that the trimmed hats had on. "That was yesterday morning. The rest of the day and until midnight last night I devoted to attempts to trim the hat. Fortunately Charles stayed downtown to dinner, so I could work without interruption. I trimmed and untrimmed eight times and noth ing that I could devise looked right, so I gave it up in despair and went to bed. "This morning as Soon as Charles had gone I got the odious hat dut from under the bed. where 1 had hid den It, and by the broad light of early day discovered what was the matter with it. The trouble was in the color, which 1 had failed to observe closely. It was not a normal straw Color ndr a yellow nor h brown, but a sickly, biliour, yellowish green, which made everything that It came Into contact with look seasick, including me. "It being notv too late to return the hat, w'hich had begun to show sigfie of wear. I carried it down to a dye shop and found that they could eclor It for me, bet would have to change the shape, which was the least objec tionable thing about it, and that It would take four weeks. More Trouble. “I then w’ent to a department store and bought a bottle of dye, which the saleswoman said any child could ap* ply with a small brush. In attempting to open the bottle after I had oarfled It home my knife slipped, the tin cap flew off anq half the content* epflled over the kitchen table, a stack Of dishes and the kitchen Sink, to all of which It immediately adhered like enamel. "Fortunately, it w’as Della's after noon out, but as 1 knew that she would be very cross when she ssw the dye I spent two hours and a half and a can of scouring powder 1n re moving it from the kitchen landscape before I could return my attention te the hat. The remaining content* of the bottle I then applied to the hat. except the part that splattered on mv- self. J then relined It, trimmed it for the ninth time, tried It on and found that I could stand to look at the fin ished product. In the glass without feeling ill. 1 felt that I had earned that hat. "When Charles came home I had it stuck on my head for* him to look at and was Just beginning the second act of Strindberg. He wag very much pleased, and said: ’That looks very nice, my dear. Now, you See ho« easy it is to get becoming hats, so you must go down and order two or three more, and then you will be supplied fOr the summer." Not What He Meant. J ONES and Long had not met for years. Once—that Is. In the days when both had been striving for fame In their different professions— they had been really good chums, and many a talk had Ihey enjoyed to gether by the fireside as to the little places Ihey would take In the coun try “when their ships came home.” The dream of Jones has been real ized, and now, although a portly old fellow, It was with a sense of real pleasure that, he prepared for a vtsi* from his former friend. "Ah, It's solendld seeing you down here. Long!" he said cordially, by way of greeting, "Quite like old times— what? And the missus, I know. Is longing to shake you by the hand. But first—yes. you must come along and have a look at my greenhouse. You simply must!" And Long went. • Well. Jones." he said, "you've got a mighty pretty place down here: but. to my mind, ft's just a bit bare.” "Chi' replied Jones, cheerfully, "that's because the trees aTe se voungl Next time you come—why they’ll be so big that you scon’t recog nize them!” THE ATLANTA CEO ROT AX VXD NEWS, TUESDAY.

SLUMMING PARTIES NOT TOLERATED AT MACON MACON, GA., May 20.—Slumming par ties are not tolerated in Macon. Miss Dorothy Smith, a corset demonstrator, and C. K. Hildreath, a traveling man. ascertained this fact when they were arrested In the restricted district by policemen especially instructed to take such sight-seeing parties in custody. The couple were fined $11 each. A severe indictment was passed upon the Presbyterian Church for its indifference to the negro problem by Dr. Howard Agnew Johnston, of the First Presbyterian Church. Stam ford, Conn., in the report of his com mittee on the freedmen of the coun try. “The Presbyterians are making ab solutely no effective effort toward the solution of this great problem.” de clared Dr. Johnston. “We are asleep on the Job. The enormity of our recreancy is apparent when we con sider that every tenth man over whom our flag flies is a black man. “We need a trained leadership to take charge of the situation. We need trained Christian teachers to go into the schools and higher institutions and instruct these people. Little Financial Aid Given. "How poorly we have responded to the needs of this problem is indicated by the pitifully small financial aid we have given. There are only 30.000 negro communicants in our Northern Church. Yet these poor, illiterate per sons give more than a third of that contributed by the million and a half white members of the Northern Church. “We have been the rankest sort of cowards. We have feared to take any brave, decided step. At the rate we are going, our progress will continue at a snail’s pace. Some say send them to Liberia; some say send them somew here else—get rid of the problem by shipping the black people out of the country. But God says: ’They need not depart; give Me them.’ ” John Gaston, of Pittsburg. Pa., as sociate secretary of the Freedmen’s Board, declared that the key to the whole problem must be found in the negro ministry. “Georgia has a million negroes within its boundaries, more than all of the Northern States combined.' said Mr. Gaston. “This constitutes an immense, an appalling problem. How are you going to solve it? 1 believe its solution can come only in a. trained, educated negro ministry. The Presbyterian Church has made a start along this line. It is a small start, but we are relying in the Christian spirit of our white com municants to give it a splendid im petus. In thirteen Southern States we have established four synods and sixteen presbyteries. Ministering to the iv gir people are 241 negro preach, era.” Sees Lessening of Crime. Mr. Gaston said that the incal culable benefit of gospel .training and educational instruction had been dem onstrated to his satisfaction in many places in the South. In one Arkansas county, he said that the percentage of negro crimes w’as five times that of the white crimes In spite of this, he declared, that in the ten years’ history of a negro training school ir\ that county not one of the students had appeared before the county court on the charge of being guilty of a crime against the State. Healthy Baby is Precious Blessing To Make It Healthy and Keep It Healthy Use a Reliable Bahy Laxative In spite of the greatest personal care and the most intelligent at tention to diet, babies and children will become constipated, and it is a fact that constipation and In digestion have wrecked many a young life. To start with a good digestive apparatus is to start life without handicap. But as we can not all have per fect working bowels we must do the next best thing and acquire them, or train them to become healthy. This can he done by the use of a laxative-tonic very highly recom mended by a great many mothers. The remedy is called Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin and has been on the market for two generations. It can be bought conveniently at any drug store for fifty cents or one dollar a bottle, and those who are already convinced of its merits buy the dollar size. Its mildness makes it the Ideal medicine for children, and it Is also very pleasant to the taste. It is sure in its effect and genuinely harmless. Very little of it is re quired and its frequent use does not cause it to lose Its effect, as is the case with so many other reme dies Thousands can testify to its mer its in constipation, indigestion, biliousness, sick headaches, etc., among them reliable people* like Mrs. M. Johnson. 752 Dayton St.. Kenosha. Wis. She is the mother of little Dorothy Johnson, who was always In delicate health until her mother gave her Dr. Caldwell's DOROTHY JOHNSON. Syrup Pepsin. Mrs. Johnson says: "I never saw such rapid improve ment in the health of anyone. Syr up Pepsin is a wonderful remedy and I shall never be without it again." Thousands keep Dr. ('aid- well's Syrup Pepsin constantly in the house, for every member of the family can use it from infancy to old age. The users of Syrup Pepsin have learned to avoid cathartics, salts, mineral waters, pills and oth er harsh remedies, for they do but temporary good and are a shock to any delicate system. If no member of your family has ever used Syrup Pepsin and you would like to make a personal trial of it before buying it in the regular way of a druggist, send your ad dress—a postal will do—to Dr. \V.
