First U. S. Currency Was Easily Counterfeited
Observation-Disclosures

So easily counterfeited were the first
lots of paper money issued by the
United States government In the sixties
that spurious bills flooded the country,
and countless astute business men
were victimized. Finally. to balk the
criminals, book called "Heath's In
fallible Government Counterfeit De-
tector at Sight" was published in 1870.
In those old days money was printed
on ordinary paper. which counterfeit
ers could easily obtain or initiate and.
consequently. such book as 'Heath's
Detector," which concentrated on the
designs on the bills, was needed. Now.
however. special brand of paper with

 The stately church which is of Gothic , architecture lends itself wonderfully to , decorations. On this occasion the beau. tiful stained glass windows were bright ened with the additional electric lights and draped with southern smilax. The arches which compose the high ceilings of the edifice were emphasized by the graceful outline of smilax, these with the draped windows making back ground for the brilliant assemblage. The windows nearest the chancel had the or namentation of punches of exquisite As tension lilies. @
 The central aisle through which the wedding party passed had on either side tall silvered standards containing gor. geous white chrysanthemums, alternat. ing with these were tall silvered can delabra, holding seven white burning tapers. On each of these were tied three large white nuns. Approaching the chancel a semi-circle was formed of the standards and candelabra alternating with innumerable palms, ferns and sni- lax forming a beautiful background for the wedding group.
 The walls back of the altar together with the organ loft was transformed into veritable bower of greenery in terspersed with white lilies.N Exquisite Easter lilies lent their fragrance and saintly beauty to the altar, these being arranged in vases on the altar.

Certainly it is tragical that a woman cannot tell her husband that he eats his soup audibly, or that he has told the same old stories over and over again until people flee at his approach. For if she could tell him she could save him from being a laughing stock among his acquaintances.
 Certainly, it is'a tragedy that man cannot tell his wife that when she paints herself up like a barn door, and dyes her hair the color of strawberry jam, she. makes of herself a figure of fun, and that she bores people to death talking about her children. For if she would listen to him it would save her from being ridiculed wherever she went. But neither husband nor wife dare of-

All of us know that the world at large has keen eye for our weak nesses and a dull one for our virtues. The thing we really marry for is to secure for our own the one person who really admires us, and our vanity will not permit us to see that that person also sees our faults. That is why husbands and wives cannot offer each other helpful and constructive criticism.

The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-10-29

In the days of courtship the man has told the woman that she was an angel that she was as far above other wom- en as the stars are above the earth, and that she was the most beautiful and gifted and marvellous being ever created. The woman marries him expecting to listen to this paen of praise the bal ance of her life, and naturally she doesn't enjoy the douche of cold water she gets when her husband begins tell ing her of her faults, and suggests re- modelling her character, her manners and her habits.
 Before marriage the woman has put in many solid working hours kowtowing before the man, and telling him how big and wise and strong and great he is, and he assumed her support for life in order to. have ever at his side a com potent incense burner. Is it any won- der, then, that he is chagrined when he finds out that his wife considers him a subject of reformation insead of ad- mira tion.
