TERE IS THE MARVELLOUS FACT-a
fact that, gives new cause for pride in
this humanity of which each of us is
part. Even in its darkest hour the world has never
once forgotten how to smile.
From every corner of it, from papers and
magazines in every land and language, there has
come piercing through the blackness the blessed
gleam of mirth.
Mingled with the somber undertone of suffer-
ing, the tinkle of fresh laughter still has lived
Men have thrown themselves at death, with glad
ness on their lips; and other with heavy hearts
have hidden their grieving underneath smile.
1t will be inspiring chapter in the history
of the war-this miraculous power of men to lift
their load of bitterness with mirth
1t the secret that carried Lincoln serene
through trials that would have crushed another
man, it is secret that the million LITERARY
DIGEST readers have discovered and that other
millions of thoughtful men and women of Amer
ica ought to learn.
No single group of men provides the humor
that keeps the twinkle in the eyes of these million
men and women. Their laughter springs from the
four corners of the earth-from papers and peri
odicals of every cline and tongue, which each

readers; the mark of their distinction is plain upon
them. They the men and women of every
company who are the best informed, to whose
opinion the other members give always first con-
SideratiOn
You may know them by their breadth of un-
derstanding-and you may know them also by the
twinkle in their eyes.
They have weighed the world, with all its
problems and discussions, in their hands; and,
knowing all its responsibilities, they still have kept
the good secret of Lincolns strength-the fine
capacity to laugh.
Why not join this chosen company today
this very hour? Why not share with them the
distinction of being so much better posted than
the average of men; of being citizen of the new
world familiar with all its changing phases?
And why not learn with them also, the joy
that comes to those who start each new week with
twinkling eyes, because they carry with them the
laughter of the world.
The path to this companonship is easy; it
runs out from every corner newsstand. Stop now,

JoHNsoN-PAYNE WEDDING
At HOME OF THE BRIDE

The Frankfort Journal says:-The
home OF Mr.. and Mrs. Lucien s.. john
son on Conway street was the scene
of a beautiful wedding last night when
their daughter. Miss Rachel Zenetta
johnson became the bride OF Mr.. H. p.
Mason Payne in the presence of large
gathering OF relatives and friends of
the couple.
The Rev. r. H. Weaver of Memphis,
Tenn, the stepfather OF the BRIDE
groom, was the officiating minister.
There were no attendants, the bride
entering with her father, by whom she
was given In marriage.
The ceremony took place in the liv-
ing room. where an altar was formed,
ferns and palms intermingled with pink
roses and candlestick holding pink
candles. On each side OF the altar
were white pedestals topped with bask-
cts of the roses and the same flower
was used in variety of ways about
the room. The lights in the chandelier
were softened with drapery of smilax
and pink tulle.
The bride was attired in a stylish
travelling suit of brown with picture
hat to match. Her flowers consisted of
a corsage bouquet Of orchids.
Following the ceremony an informal
reception was held, the bridal couple
leaving Immediately afterward for a
short wedding trip before going to Lex
ington to make their home
The decorations in the dining room
carried out the general color scheme of
pink, and roses in this shade combined
with smilax were used. The refresh
ment table held as centerpiece the
wedding cake. and from the chandelier
above the table fell shower effect of
the roses and tulle, from which stream
ers of the tulle extended to the four
corners of the table, where they were
caught in butterfly bows. Vases of the
roses and candelabra holding pink ta-
pers placed at the corners of the table
added to the pretty effect of the scene.
The CONNECTIONS also were in the pre-
dominant color.
Among the out of town guests pres
emit were the Rev. Weaver and Mrs.
Weaver Of Memphis, Mr.. Sam John
son of Vanceburg, Mrs. Mary Horton
and Misses Sallie and Caroline Burns
of Louisa, Miss Josephine Harkins and

HOME or THE WATERMELON
Monticello, in Florida, Rightly Claims
to Be Worlds Greatest Market
for the Seed.

Jefferson county, Florida, of which
Monticello is the county seat, is the
home of the watermelon seed indus
try of the United States" declares the
Monticello News. SIT could be said
that this is the home of the industry
for the world, for this county grows
more watermelons for seed purposes
than any other section, and more wa
termelons are grown in North Amer
lea than anywhere else"
The News gives some figures on the
proposition and no doubt good many
people would be surprised to know
that of the ten thousand acres utilized
in the United States for growing wa
termelons for seed, Jefferson county,
Florida, has more than eight thousand
acres busy toward that end. 1t is, the
only place in the world where an or
der for carload of watermelon seed
can be filled-and such orders are
often filed and the cars go out of
Monticello.
Florida is wonderful state. The
balance of the country might be able
to get along without us, but they
wouldn't have nearly as good time
as they do now.-Florida Times-U Union.

Marked Use Of Ribbon.

Marked popularity of ribbons as mil
linery trimmings, especially on walk
ing hats, is one of the seasons devel-
opments. One idea Of decoration that
has taken hold strongly of late shows
the use of ribbon in two-tier arrange
ments. Loops of this material stand
out from the base of the crown, one
fiat on the brim and the other a few
inches above it. This trimming is
placed either at the side or front. In
some cases, loops Of ribbon are at
tached to the top of the crown, extend
ing toward the front of the hat. An
airplane bow Of ten-inch ribbons is
shown on the crown of small sailor.

Suits for summer wear, as first
requirement for good style, must look
cool. Many of them accomplish this
fine beginning and achieve happy
ending by being actually cool; they
are made of loosely woven, light
weight silk or fiber fabrics that are
the least burdensome of hot weather
suitings as well as the most fashion
able. Besides these there are those
unfailing pongees and mohairs with
advantages of their own to recon-
mend them, and linen is still Gin the
running" But in the race for prefer
ence with women of fashion these
long-familiar fabrics have been out
distanced by the newer weaves.
In the two suits shown In the pic
ture the one at the left is typical of
the style that leads for suits made of
light jersey, silk and silk fiber suit
lngs. Straight hanging coats and
skirts less narrow than those made
of the usual wool clothes are the rule
in these suits. The sweater coat is the
model followed in nearly all of them,
to be worn with or without vests. Vests
for midsummer, made Of organdy ard
other sheer cottons, often in combina-
ton with narrow laces, take the place
of vests of heavier fabrics that have
had such sweeping popularity. The
cool, three-quarter length sleeve is a
feature of this suit and it is shown
with satin vest having leaf and
lattice design embroidered in gray and
silver. There is narrow sash across
the front of the satin, the ends finish
ed with small flower-like ornaments
made of silver ribbon.
The suit at the right is a. conven-
tional tailored model of white cloth
with hair line stripes which may be
in brown, blue. green or black. The
coat, while. not straight-llne model,
is cut on easy but tr'-- lines. This,
