Now it is reported that ha is trying to “roe back.” In our homble opinion, such a man would make a sorry monarch indeed. v It is reported that Charlotte Mills, daofhtor of Mrs. Eleanor Mills, who was found slain with the Rev. Ed ward W. Hall in New Brunswick, N. J., several years ago, is to appear in a play called “Who’s Guilty?” based on Hall-Mills case. ‘ At any rate ' Charlotte is guilty of gross improprie ty in aidihf and abetting an attempt to capitalise the sordid tragedy of her, mother’s murder and the public should show its disaproval of her action by withholding its patronage from the production, if it may be tensed such. ✓ This New Yeer of Our Lord. i • Let byganes be byganes, Wha’s huffed at anither Dinna cloot the ataid days And the new anas thegither; Wi’ a grip o’ fresh freen’ship.

Herlong, of Florence, on Thursday afternoon at 5 o’clock at the B«pij|§t church in Black- vilie. The church was most attrac tively and beautifully decorated with /eras, Southern smilax and candelabra. An improvised altar was formed be fore which the bride and groom stpod. While the guests were assembling, a three-piece orchestra composed of Mrs. Rene Herlong, of Florence, Miss Frances Herlong, of Florence and Mr. Edwards, of Florence, rendered several beautiful and appropriate seleetinons on piano, violirt and clir- onet. Just before *the bridal party enter ed, Mrs. Briggs Kammer, of Black- ville, sang “O Perfect Love” and “When We Are Together.” The bridal party entered to the strains of Lohengrin’s wedding march played by Mrs. Charles Miller, of Black villa. The groomsmen were Dr. R.K Charles, of Bishopville, Dr. M. A. McKenzie of Bishopville, Mr. George Forte of Camden, and Mr. Sigsby Grimes of Lees. The brides maids, Misses Geraldine Kammer and Sarah Storne of Blackville, Mrs. E. T, Spigner of Denmark and Miss Ola Grimes of Lees, wore lovely frocks of georgette in pastel shades with os trich trimmings. They carried cor sage bouquets in colonial style. The Dame of Honor, Mrs. E. E. Schem- mell of Witchita, Texas, sister of the bride, wore a lovely frock of white satin trimmed with pearls and cry stals, and carried a bouquet of pink rose buds. Little Sarah Lou Grimes and Wise Spigner. dressed in pink georgette, carried baskets of pink roses. The bride entered with her father H. B. Grimes.

Two weeks ago bs walked out jU five o’clock as quietly as if ha were ondy going for the eve ning, and this morning he came back Just as quietly. What does a man ilka that want with n vacation anyway? , “He's such a dull fellow,” murmured ’Billy’ Delaine languidly. “If aver I want to die of ennui I’ll make him fall in love with me.” Johnson didn’t hear her, and It wouldn’t have made any difference if he had. He was trying .to coacdfr trate his attention on his Job and that wan taking all his energy. This doll-fellow was shaken to tha soul. Ha had gone away as part ef tha routine of Ufa. Thera had bean a time when the thought of a vacation would have conjured up wonderful pto> til res la bis mind, bat nothing now soemod able to give him a thrill. Par* haps ha Uved top much In n groove. Where tha others looked on life as a series pf gay adventures to bo sought deliberately as one seeks entertain ment In n theater, he took his.adven tures on paper. Ho fouad his romance In tha short Stories ho wrote so untir ingly in all hla spare time. Sometimes ho wondered If ho Was charing tha shadow and mlsalBg the substance of Ufa; yet ba must have known that ro mance and passion are .always round the corner.

He bad lived la ft woifd of Illusions, you see, creattic people to suit himself, playing with the Imaginary passions of Imsgtnary men sad woman, and now fata was playing with him. - Ha west to the coest prepared to e£ Joy himself la hla own quiet fashion, and on his first day there be met Daphne Rueeell. whom ho had knows years ago. Ha would hava walked past her la bia absent-minded way, but she came up and greeted him; and even then he didn't know her at first. There was some excuse for him, too. for la the Intervening years since their last meeting, she had changed almost be yond recognition.

While the Senate may not be so pure and undefiled as was the re nowned Sir Galahad, it has been lately pointed out that the collective nose of the Senate functions rather well in scenting out the corruption ists in these United States. - For inatar.ee, it wrote “ex” in front of the title of Senator conferred upon one Lorimer when it was made plain ha had apent too much money for a seat in the Senate; and it let air in Mr. Newberry and opened the door for him to walk out; it pulled the chair in tha Cabinet out from under Mr. Der by; it would not confinn the Warren appointment because it held his deal ings with the Sugar Trust did not snake him sweet; it drove out Mr. Daugherty from the Department of Justice; it showed the people of the country that the oil reserve affair wa 8 graaay ; it has investigated the charges of large expenditures in the primaries hi a number of States. To ba sure, in iftost of these cases, it did not require an jexceptiorally keen sense of 4|ftieJl to discover the fttmeh. But the point is- that the 8«natindid discosar It and did act in tha face *of supine inaction by other irtmenta. And now the Senate has gore out a lance with Governor Small, linoia, and hia emissary, Frank m i was caught back in cornet style! a flail fellow? Whatever It was that with orange bioaaomi, and she carried I was the way Daphne had been bead- a ahower bouquet of white roee bud* sajoexorably as rivers bead to the ard lilies of the valley. During the ceremony the electric lights were switched off and the church was beautifully lighted by numerous candles. Dr pastor of the bride, assisted by Rev. Boukr ight of Johnston, performed the ceremony. Immediately after the ceremony a reception was given to about fifty guests and the immediate families at the home of the bride at Lees. The attractive suburban home was artiv- sba went to llv* la Cana da. sad Johnson had not seen her for seven year*, and now, when be asei ber be could only start at her la amssemenr L. H.

I’asalon stirred wist fully In her dark eyes. Her hair looked a* If painted by moonlight. Something leaped In Johnaon's heart, something that (lamed passion ately and throbbed Ad hurt. "Oh, I’m so glad to .see you," she cried. M I came hack (Yoru Cnnada tically decorated in pink ard green An immense wedding cake iced in* vDd I couldn't find any one I know. It white was placed on the center of the! ——« as though all my friends had dining table. The cake was topped by a miniature bride and groom. Fink candles tied with bows of pink tulle completed the table decorations. A plate salad course was served, af ter which pink and green mints in the shape of hearts were passed to the guests. After the reception. Dr. and Mrs. Herlong left by automobile for an extended honeymoon. Th« bride is the third and young est daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. B. Grimes of Lees, and a young woman of charm ,and intellect. She attended the Greenville Woman’s college, uf- tre which she taught several years in the public schools at her home. The groom is a son of Dr. and Mrs. J. T. Herlong of Florence. He is prominently connected with the Saun ders Memorial Hospital in Florence. Dr. and Mrs. Herlong will make their home in Florence. It took Bobby Jones 12 year* to' braak into national title .holding mnka, but now at 24 he is recog- nixed as one of the greatest gotfers in the world.

And then I came here for lonely vacation and I met you." “Your vacation Isn’t going to be lofiriy at all," said Johnson firmly. *T am the Committee of Welcome ap pointed to meet you. After you’ve been through our program you’ll never want to leave home again." "You talk in Just your old lovaiy way," she murmured contentedly. “I never knew whether you were In earnest or not.” . , And be looked at ber quietly. "Yea," he said. “I never was so much la earnest.” And after that a new life began for Johnson and perhaps for Daphne also. They had long evenings of the moat perfect comradeship, evenings when the whole world seemed to be drenched with sheen beauty. That was tha way he sow it anyway. It brought him out of hla shell amazingly. Ha became gay, brilliant, tender, all in turn, until it seemed that Daphne must have transferred to him some of hfly own secret *of living vivlWy. Life danced ahead of him, beckoning, batting him on. whispering all kinds ef wonderful promises; and he be lieved them all. And so the vacation went by, each day sinking in turn Into that strange, bottomless pit men call the past, and leaving in Its place one still more won derful. And to, both Daphne and Johnson, as the last day approached, there canie a resotVion which they guarded resolutely from each other un til the time should come. They sat together staring at tils sea oh that last evening. The beauty of the night waa ail about them, en folding them in its strange glamour.

Y. ♦ The death toll from Christmas liquor drinking ia greater New York Tuesday had risen to 23, with per haps more than 100 persons under treatment in hospitals for alcoholism. In Chicago seven deaths have been reported; in Detroit, five; in Dee Moines, two; in Milwaukee, three, a nd Omaha, two. Flesh reduction is t neverending source of interest and concern to the majority of women and girls, because despite the occasional fashion notes sent out* to the contrary, this is the day of the slender silhouette. ,The overweight, heavy footed 1 woman finds her surplus weight not only un shapely and unfashionable, but uh- healthful as well. And so she sets about reducing. But there is a nother note of fram ing—when reduction is carried too far it will lower the vitality and re sistance. The fact of the matter is that while it is bad form to be too fat or too lean—beauty cannot be apart from health, and weight reduct ion below the normal level should be avoided. Systematic daily exercise, begun gently and gradually increased as the system responds, and intelligent diet ing, will not only take off weight, but will improve the health and posture as well , « . Just as ntost persons eat too much, so they exercise too little. Regulat ion of the diet a hd exercise go hand in hand. Exercise will not bring about any radical change in'weight if you partake of sweets and fat making foods, and certain rules must be ri gidly enforced. For instance, never eat between meals, and never, drink while eating; Opinions differ as to ■ ft', ...... the number of meals to be taken daily, but those who have had the u greatest experience upon this matter commend three light meals a day, consisting chiefly of green vegetables, steamed fruits, dry toast or hard bread—and lean meat once a day or once a week. Here is an exercise that has been recommended by s doctor of a well known insurance company who claims that women suffer manjj ills because of the way they let the abdominal muscles slump when they get past thirty. “Stand on your toes, one foot in front of the other, pelvis tilted- up ward, abdomen retracted, and hold a cane, a book, or a magazine with both hands high over the head. Stretch the a rticle you hold in your hands high over the head, and keep the entire body stretched out as much as possible. Walk slowly on the tips of the toes. Walk th« entire length of the room and -back, a t first Later you can go around the room *ny num ber of times without tiring. The exercise affects the whole body. By assuming the stretching positiog, the abdomen is held in. When the pelvia is in proper position, the chest is up and out r JYour legs a nd feet get exercise at the same and it enables you to walk or sta^Yj without the slightest weariness” ?HTHES!ME«fMLVE Advertise in The People-Sentinel Get Out of the Way of the Man Who Knows Where He’s Going • ♦ The gentleman at the right ia not combative.
