|jOME EQITIOfI VOLUME XIX. No. 102. .Society 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.

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.

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.

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.'"

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. —Miss Stella Hollingsworth return ed yesterday from Chicago, Where she has been studying playground work —Mrs. Howard Mattlson Avary will go to Simpsonville, 8.
