WHY IT SUCCEEDS

Because it's for One Thing Only, and
Abbeville People Appreciate this.
Nothing can be good for everything.
Doing one thing well brings success.
Doan's Kidney Pills do n thing

They cure sick kidneys.
They cure backache, every kidney
i'll.

it.

wIMBERLY-GILLEsPY.

The following clipped from The Birm- inghan Ledger's account of the Vim berly- -Gillespy wedding will be of in terest ot the many Montgomery friends of the young couple:
 ~"One of the most beautiful and bril- liant weddings of the winter was that of Miss Mary Gillespy, eldest daugh- ter of pr. and Mrs. John Sharp Gill lespy. and Mr. rhomas Felton Vim berly. which took place last evening at 7:15 o'clock at the residence of the brides parents on Highland Ave nue.
 The ceremony was impressively per formed by the Rev. s. L. Dobbs, pastor of the Five Points Methodist Church, the ring service being used. An impro- vised altar was erected in the drawing room which had a background of mag nihcent palms. The altar rail was of white satin festooned with smilax, and the altar was lighted with white can dles The nuptial blessing was pro- nounced at a prie diue of white satin.
 The expectant hush just before the bride enters church was quite as m tense when Miss Gillespy in her satin and tulle. appeared at the head Of the stairway. she was certainly a radiant

WOMEN qna SOCIETY

About the most effective thing that has yet been invented to destroy the beauty of the human face divine is the On)visible net with which the stasteless girl Is wont to plaster down and de- stroy whatever of fluffy loveliness her locks may naturally possess. It be- longs to the exaggerated head dress the one which Is already made as tight and as unyielding as an emery bag by the uncompromising stufiing that is in it; and 1t is commonly met in company with great shapeless wad-presum- ahiy or halrat the abck, which offers insult to the gods and violates tradi- tion by calling itself Psyche knot"
 What between the stufiing, which may vary all the way from four pairs of tan stockings through dis carded auto veils to the legs of a dis nembered Teddy bear. and the "invis- ibie" veil bearing down on the outside. we are at least spared the reading of any naor such verses as You tangled my heart in your hair, my pet"
 The heather "who know no better achieve the same hardness of effect in head-dress as we without the pains that we take or the pains that we suffer to accomplish it. Japanese women hx their wigs exactly as they are to be worn while they are off their heads; then they plaster back whatever of hair the Great Buddha gave them and put the head-dress on like a cap. It Is easier than our way of doing 1t. and is quite as ugly.

 NEW APARTMENTS OF

 The twelfth floor of the Ben Build ing has been transformed into B home of luxury and beauty by the members of the Beauvoir. Club, who are now prepared to enjoy club comforts to the full.
 Leaving the elevator, the visitor en- ters a spacious corridor, which at once satisfies the eye with It's subdued au- tumn tints. The burlap wainscottins of shade of burnt orange, tones into the soft yellow of walls and ceiling above, and contrasts we'll with the dull red Of the handsome rugs. Heavy leather covered devenports and chairs constitute the furniture.
 In the, reception room the walls. the velvet hAngings. and the damask up- heIstering of the handsome mahog- any furniture are in Copenhagen blue with g velvet rug Of Oriental design in harmonizing shades.

 Tn spite of the richness of the fur nishings. there Is a simplicity of de- sign and lack of crowdfng, which give throughout a suggestion of mod eration and refinement.
 The ball room Is spacious and attrac- tive. with soft pink-tipted walls ad- mirably calculated to becomingly frame pretty women. in pretty gowns but then Montgomery girls are never allowed to adorn the walls at the Beauvoir Club. Leading on from the bah room, are the dressing rooms which are furnished with the same richness as the other apartments.
 The cafe Is most attractive. It is open from in the morning till 1 at night and has excellent service.
 The roof garden. commanding a beautiful view of the city, will be opened in the spring. and will be an ideal place of resort, with its music, light refreshments. and all the de- lightful things which such a place makes possible.
 The opening reception of the club win be on the evening of the 18th. On the following Monday evening, the opening german will be given.
