The happiness and prosperity of a people are
largely measured by the increase or decrease OF

DECATUR

Linen Shower" complimentary to
 Miss Lucille Baker, charming bride-to-be,
 in which Mrs. J. II. Simpson entertained a charming number of guests, was in point of pleasure in keeping with the atmos- pheric showers of yesterday afternoon. The picturesque adornments of Mrs.
 Simpsons palatial home were heightened by color scheme of white and green.
 The embankments of palms, ferns, smilax. relieved by rare cut flowers of white, pre- sented a unique ocular feast From the chandelier in the spacious dining room was suspended trailing vines, which reach ed a terminus at the four corners of the mahogany table.
 The hostess and bride-elect received
 their guests in the drawing room, and from there repaired to the dining room,
 where they were charminsly served punch
 and ices After the dainty and elegant re-
 treatments were served, came the crown ing event of the afternoon, which was the shoWering of the linen by the hostess up- on the bride-t -to-be. Upon the arrival of each guest parcel of linen was placed in q white silk umbrella which hung in the hall The bounteous generosity displayed by all bespeaks the popularity of this es-
 tmable young heroine in this matrim onial affair Miss Baker was attired in a habit
 of white organdy, which so contrasted with her beautiful complexion to make
 her a typical specimen of Southern beauty. She carried bouquet of American Beauty
 roses, and her jewels were diamonds. The hostess who is also a dark brunette, was
 arrayed in white batiste, presenting queenly appearance Many early summer gowns of exquisite texture were in evi- dence
 The rare strains of enchanting music which were executed throughout the after
 noon, together with the many other at
 fractions, combined to make the occasion
 notably brilliant one, and all departed
 with showers of wishes for the happiness
 of the matrimonial conjunction of the happy couple so soon to v d. The invita-

A TIME OF ACTION

From Harpers Weekly.
 The time has come when we should pull ourselves together and see what can be done to redeem our age in the eyes of posterity, or, better, to save posterity from the evil results of our own actions. We seem to have departed from the simplest rules of health by which ordinarily sane men and communities should govern them selves. We are nervous and irritable We are suspicious and quarrelsome. A state of war exists in every cline. Nations and individuals alike who should be at peace with each other are snarling and snapping angrily in each others face. Opportuni- ties for the demonstration of high and honorable motives are being prostituted to ignoble uses. Persons high in power, either in statecraft or in industry, are blind and arrogant. Masses of toilers are restless and impossible, and in many in- stances verging upon riot. Mob violence prevails in many communities and is met with lethargic indifference by the guar dians of the public peace that is appalling in short the whole world Is in that tense state which gives promise of some fearful social convulsion, which must soon event. uate unless there is quickly discovered some remedy by which disaster may be averted
