SOCIAL GOSSIP
The need lying In the ground for
a season, then the springing up of
the tiny blade of green, the falling
away of swaddling clothes and the
henotiful rose is unfolded to gladden
and glorify.
The tiny egg warmed and nur
tured by the mother bird, then the
breaking of bonding shell, and there
conies the swelling music from song
bird's throat.
The anguished moan of travail,
then the soft, low eooings of baby
music rewards motherhood for the
trials and sorrows.
The deadening march up Golgo
tha's height, the awful spiking of
hands and feet to the cruel cross, the
bursting of the bonds of death, and
earth's first Easter sheds its glory
and grandeur and blessing on man
kind.
Christ has risen, and through His
rising come salvation from sin, a
gladdening of the soul, a lightening
of burdens and rest for the weary.
There is comfort and hope, and love
is justified. Man is taught the
beauty of sacrifice and the bless
ing of unselfishness.
And on this anniversary of that
Resurrection Day more than nine
teen hundred years ago it is fit and
meet that all nature should be
clothed with beauty of bud and blos
som and that the heart of man
should swell with the music of alle
luias and songs of praise; ghat song
of bird and fragrance of flower
should send their tribute as incense
curling into the heavens.

ties at the Country Club tomorrow

Dear, delightful, sleepy old Bath,
that for so many winters and springs
has enjoyed such quietude that one
wonders if it were not there that
Rip Van Winkle slept his famous
sleep and if it is not still peopled
by his descendants, who have in
herited his slumberous proclivities,
has waked from its long winter
nap and is fairly teeming with life.
The occasion of all this unwonted
activity is the taking of the films
fur "The Littlest Rebel,” which is
to be presented by the
"•ipovles.” Mr. Tichenor, of New’
Yjjjrk, is attending to the details and
i* charmed with the outlook for the
perfect presentation of this most at
tractive of dramas. He thinks that
the atmosphere which environs Bath
such that it could not be improved
on. Most of the scenes depict camp
life, and in this he Is given radical
assistance by California Frank, who
hap taken his full equipment of
horses and cowboys out to Bath.
There__ig, of course, quite a number
of negroes in the play and this is
another point in which Mr. Tichenor
has met with great luck, for no
where can be found a better type
of genuine old-time ante-bellum
negro than on Bath, and the spon
tanlety with which they interpret
human emotions has to be seen to
be realized. Mr. Tichenor has gone
to Atlanta to confer with Governor
Slaton in regard to securing a num
ber of camps for the setting of the
picture and then lie will see Secre
tary Daniels, in Washington, and
secure of him, if possible, the loan
of several of the pieces of artillery,
cannon, etc., for the arsenal.

AUGUSTA. GEORGIA. SUNDAY MORNING. APRIL 12. 1914.
Bulgarian Queen To Sail For U. S.
*”* r "
QUEEN ELEANORA OF BULGARIA.
Sofia. —In spite of several threatening letters which have been re
ceived at the palace, Queen Eleanora Is making all preparations to sail
for the United States the last week in May.
She will sail either from Cherbourg or Hamburg. The length of
her American visit has not been limited. She may spend a month or
more visiting the largo cities In the United States. The primary motive
for her visit is to observe the insitutions and customs its the Ameri
cans, in whom she is deeply interested. A large part of this Interest is
due to the Bulgarian soldiers, many of them American citizens, who re
turned to their native country to fight in the late war.
The rumor that King Ferdinand would accompany the Queen on
her trip has been denied, but it is stated semi-officially that the King
will visit the United States next year at the time of the Panama Expo
sition at San Francisco.'"
Engagement of Miss Stone and
Mr. R. S. Boyd Announced
Mr. and Mrs. William Henry Stone,
of Thomson, announce the engagement
of their daughter, Mary Harriet, to
Mr. Ridgeway Smith Boyd, of Whig
street and a number of friends were
entertained at luncheon previous to the
happy couple going to their new
home on Bay street, where they have
taken an apartment with Miss Lena
Trader.
Mr. and Mrs. Wohlschlager are both
foreigners, but have made their home
here sufficiently long to have made
many friends who are devoted to them
and who have been won by their
splendid qualities, the esteem in which
they are held being evidenced try the
many beautiful gifts sent them.
VEILS SHAPED TO THE FACE.
Some man, overbubbling with the
milk of human kindness, has probably
observed the agonizing solicitude of
the members of the fair sex in their
endeavors to maintain their veil In
Just exactly the approved position un
der the chin. In order that It shall
conform to the shape of the face she
draws the lower part of the veil up
into a knot, sometimes with a hair
pin, and her concern as to the posi
tion and condition of the knot Is pain
ful to behold. This Important con
sideration occupies her entire atten
tion, but she has been relieved of
this terrible responsibility by the man
referred to above who has spent many
sleepless nights in working out a
scheme by which he could make a
veil that conforms perfectly to her
face. The upper purt Is sufficiently
large as to .encompass her hat. while
the lower portion is cupped so that
It naturally falls under her chin with
out the resorting to the use of the
hairpin or other device for effecting
the gathering at this' point.
