| Lilliputian weddings as a form of
fundor church entertainment are be
coming quite the rage in Atlanta
The latest of a list of several “mar.
riages of tots” was that Prlh&uicht
at the East Atlanta Methodist Church,
and it was declared by the large
crowd attending to hawve been most
enjoyable. Children from 38 to 10
years of age figured In the “social

on the mflm. and afforded thelr

BIBLE IS ‘BEST SELLER’
DURING LAST 300 YEARS
During the last few vears there has
been much talk about the “best sell
ers.” Publishers have vied with each
other to enlist writers whose works
have at one time or another reached
the head of the list she popular
novel that sells up into the thousands
and continues In demand 18 known as
a “best seller,” but comparatively few
of the many reach this enviable posi
tion
There is one book, however, which
has been a “best seller” for the last
800 years. This is what is known as
the authorized verson of the Bible.
More than three hundred millions of
coples have been distributed by the
American, British and foreign Bible
societies alone. Think of these fig
ures, and you will forever cease to be
Interested in so-called best “sellers.”
The Bible, or parts of it, has been
translated into several hundred dif
ferent languages and dialects. The
first complete translation in Hnglish

and the first Amercian tion was
printed in Boston more than 150 years
ago.

Auction Club Entertained.
Mrs. G. C. Metzger entertained her
auction bridge club Thursday after
noon at her Lome on Drury place, The
prizes, white and gold dinner plates,
were won by Mrs. John Stone and
Mrs. Ear! Knight.
The members present were Mr. and

The bride was Mttle Miss Margaret
Andrews, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Ernest Andrews, and the bridegroom
was Master Curlos Lynes, Jr, son of
Mr. and Mrs. Carlos Lynes. They
were very fetching in their miniature
wedding costumes and carried out
their parts just ltke g‘rmm-ur. Bv
erything in connection with the cere
mony was done by youngsters, inolud
ing a thoroughly emjoyable musioal
program following the wedding. The
entertainment netted a good sum for
the Sunday school of the church.
there are hundreds of thousands of
American homes where the Bible re
maing unopened and unread. To the
average modern person the language
of the Scriptures is too formal and
difficult to understand without refer
ence helps.
A most interesting work has been
recently compiled, which promises to
do more toward popularizing Bible
reading than any amount of pulplt ex
hortation,
“Tustrated Bible Stories for Young
and Old” relates all Bible events in
chronologioal and narrative form. All
superfluous details are omitted. The
book is written in the plain, under
standable language of to-day. Chll
dren and adults enjoy it with equal
enthusiasm. Practically svery one of
its more than 800 pages !s {llustrated
with beautiful text pictures, many of
them being costly ocolor plates from
the famous Tissot callection of Scrip
tural paintings.
Every man, woman and child will
want a copy of “Bible Stories,” and
all may have it by presenting to this
paper six certificates such as the one
printed on another page daily, and
complying with the terms explained
therein.

John Hamiiton told himself that he
had made the case plain and had told
the truth. Yet in his soul he knew
that he had not told it all, and that
had his wife been her bright, cheery

salutary thing for her. If more wives
were told these facts they might un

all that could be expected toward con
ciliating her—and she would not be
conciliated. He certainly would not
apologize for what he had sald at
breakfast that morning, for he had
not been in the wrong. This was &
side of his wife’s character he had
never meen before, and he would not

He had reached Ms club by this

made him consider himself a fool for
having stayed away for so long. He
would not be so forgetful and neg

there was but one thing for her to Jo.
That was to call up the club and
make inquiries.
She threw her bath robe about her
and thrust her feet into her bedaide
shoes; then hurried out into the hall,
where the telephone hung. With
trembling hands she seized the direo
tory and searched its columms for the
number she wanted. Ah, hers it was!
Some mam at the club answered

Somehow his matter-of-fact volce
made the wife's act seem suddenly
ridicutons to her. But it was too late
to withdraw now,
“Hello!"” she returned, in as stealdy
and practical a tone as she coul mus
ter. “Can you tell me if Mn Hamdilton
—Myr. John Hamdlton—4s there?”
“Hamilton? Just wait a moment

“Hello!" the voice sald again. ‘“‘No.
Mr. Hamilton’s not here. He was
here, but he's gone.”
“Oh, how long ago?"’ came the agi

“Wwait and I'll go see,” the unseen
speaker sald onoce more.
And once mors the wife waited in
\suspense—but only for a moment.
“He's been gone only about ten or
fifteen minutes,” the man informed
her. “I guwess he’ll be home pretty
soon now,” he added, In a tone that
may have meant to be comforting, but
which brought the blood to the wife's
cheeks.
“Oh, I'm not worried about him at
all,” she said, frigidly. *“I thank you
for the trouble you've taken.”
“Pray don’t mention it,” rejoined
her informant. “Good-night!”

Beatrice Fairfax Writes on
Making a Star Role
e {or Yourself @
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX,
“We do not oppose the part we
play in life—but whether we play
that part well or ill, we do choose.
The part was ochosen for wus Dby
the AUTHOR OF THE PLAY.”
—Epictetus.
ISCONTENT casts a gray shadow
on all the brightness of life. It
occuplies the soul with regret
and causes the mind to feel maltreated
and abused. It fills the heart with sor
row. It oocuples so T'on A&:eo in the
mental and spiritual life of ome who
feels it, that there is no room fer more
active physical forces to drive it eut.
Discontent is not one of the vices that
takes ronouion of one foreibly and for
evil. It is & result of deliberately fos
tered moods. What is more, it is akin
to one of the finest of the virtuesif
only that virtue is not misdirected. Dis
content can be turned inteo ambition,
almost for the tryinf.
The vice that embitters life and leaves
its token visible for all to see—the vice
that weighs down the mouth corners
and Aulls the wye of the physical bd:s
as well as of the mind and soul a
heart ,can be transmuted into pure gold
for the mere tTn..
How much did it ever profit any one
to sit In sackcloth and ashes crying
either ‘“‘Mea oulfar«me.. maxima culpa,”
or less sorrowfully and more bitterly
oomphmlng of the unfairness of life?
There is absolutely nothi:fi to gain by
foollnq that {l:)‘\'l have ‘‘made a mess of

1 know a girl who makes ;t a source
of sorrow that she has a 4 tented
nature. ‘T can't ever be happy,'' says
Gertrude. 1 -Im¥ly have one of those
discontented natufes that longs for alil
the thinge it can not have and that is
bored by what it is given. I am just
cursed by my own discontentedness, and
the worst of it is that I know what is
the matter with me. I have a jealous,
envious, discontented nature.”
What a useful bit of knowledge you
have in your power of self-analysis,
Qertrude! Why not so after some of
the things you want ‘Why not look

effort all the best prizes in your circle
of vafi? Cqin your desires into ac

for trying to win some of the things
you see others possessing and long for,
too. Use your discontent with what
you are and have as a scourge, if need
be, to being and ha.vlnf more. And in
action your useless jealousy will die of
lack of morbid leisure in which to ex
ercise {tself and grow.
There is a storg told of a girl who
found herself suddenly orphaned and
poor, and with nothing m her education
or talents to win a livellhood. Stranded
and without ability, the fate of the ‘‘de
oayed gentlewoman'' who lives a pen
sioner on the hounty of any relatives or
friends who will ¥lve her a place in a
chimney corner, stared her in the face.
And then it occurred to her that she
had always dusted her father's priceless
porcelains and lvozgll, since no maid
could be trusted pith them, and her
ltuddv fingers and loving patience made
the dusting of these treasures a safe
and pleasant process.

A BAD CASE
Years of Suffering Which
. .
Now Lies Behind Hem,
Wallace, Va.—Mrs, Mary Vest of
this town, says: ‘“About ten years ago
I had very poor health and for five
vears it steadily got worse, 1 coudd
not stand on my feet. I got so I could
only drag about in the room. Most of
the time I was not able to do my
work.
“I had terrible bear!ng-daw:ngdul.
my back ached all the time was
very weak. I could scarcely ocarry
anything and suffered agony when I
lifted anything. The muscles in my
abdomen were 8o weak I could scarce
ly lift myself up straight, and [
thought I would surely grow crooked.
1 had difficulty in walking, It was so
painful. I suffered in hips and back
and could hardly raise up at all. At
times I couldn't sit on the chair—
would have to lie down, I was in such
agony. I just sat around and cried.
“At this time, about five years ago,
I began to take Cardui, at my moth
er's insistence. After two or three
weeks' use I saw an improvement.
The pains got less gradually untli
they disappeared, In two months I
could walk without pain and could do
most of my work. For about three
yvears my improvement was steady
and continued until I had back my
health and strength.
~ “The cure has been permanent, for I
‘have been in good health for the past
two years, due to my having taken
Cardui, which effected the cure.”
\ All druggists sell Cardui. Try it—
