To the sDiritual eye the Old
South appears, as it truly was, a
land of belief in the holy mysteries
of unchanging love; a land of
dreams, of memories and of un
quenchable faith in an imminent,
beautiful tomorrow; a land where
men coveted honors more than
riches; and women prized charac
ter above pleasures; where the
grossness of ihe actual was lost to
view in contemplation of the aesthet
ic; where, haunting every great
house" of repute, friendly ghosts
set at naught the cold thought
of complete separation of the living
from the dead; where respect lor
women held her name inviolable;
where the mistress of the home
was the household sovereign, rev
ered and waited upon by all who
surrounded her. from the stately
master himself to the pickaninny
reveling in the license of a single
earment. Yet. withal the typical
Southern lady remained unspoiled.
Her training from childhood had
been, as she fully understood, to
fit her for the duties of a wile,
mother and mistress. Her life, as
she was aware, was to be spent for
others. She well knew that after
early youth with its unrestrained
joys had passed she was to take
the place her mo:her and grand
mothers had filled in ministering
to the sick and needy both white
and black-and in sheltering the
homeless and dispensing bound
less hospitalities to friend ana stran
ger, to dependents and peers alike.

There is a Real Difference
Cream of tartar, derived from grapes,
is used in Royal Baking Powder because
it is the best and most healthful ingredient
known for the purpose.
Phosphate and alum, which are de
rived from mineral sources, are used in
some baking powders, instead of cream of
tartar, because they are cheaper.
If you have been induced to use baking
powders made from alum or phosphate,
use Royal Baking Powder instead. You
will be pleased with the results and the
difference in the quality of the f ood.

It used to be that to elope was
considered not altogether the right
thing. In fact it used to be under
stood that an elopement meant ob-.
jections from all along the pike.
But Mrs. Frank E. Van Houien
who was a Miss Parkinson and
who changed her name by eloping
puts it up this way:
"When it comes to getting mar-;
ried, there is no time like present. ;
When vou lake ihe matrimonial I
plunge, shut your eyes and jump!
Anv eirl who wastes her strength
with bridesmaids and an elaborate 1
wedding makes a great mistake."

"Honestly, 1 believe more girls
would elope if they had the cour- j
age of their convictions. .1 jsi im-'

you do it the way Frank and 1 did!

"F.vervbodv likes a wedding cer

and also discovered the way to re

big weddings ihese days are more

If Mrs. Van Houten's "new

How to Feel Well During Middle

Learned from Experience.
The Change of Lite is a most critical period of a
woman's existence, and neglect of health at this time invites
disease and pain. Women everywhere should remember
that there is no other remedy known to medicine that will
so successfully carry women through this trying period as
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, made from
native roots and herbs. Read these letters:
