WRITER TERMS ATHEISM AS ‘UNCOMFORTABLE’ People Pay for Being Told of Existence or Non-Existence of God — Why Not Let Them Choose? She Asks.

By Mrs. Walter Ferguson The Association for the Advancement of Atheism has been established in this country only eighteen months, and reports 100,000 avowed members and 40,000,000 prospects. This organization, which is militantly fighting the church, the clergy, the teaching of the Bible, and the idea ot the existence of a divine po\Ver, has already invaded a number of our colleges and has announced that its plans are to get MISS FISHER ENTERTAINS Two Brides-Elect Honored by Luncheon Bridge.

hold of children of 8 and 10 years old, in order to lay a foundation for lasting atheism. Foe of* Churches The ardent secretary of this body is Freeman Hopwood, who gets red hot when he discusses preachers. How he must have ' loved “Elmer Gantry!” He deplores the money that is being spent to keep up the churches. He believes the clergy to be a leech upon the body of the Nation, and flays the ignorance of a citizenship that will so willingly be what he calls “duped.” But, in announcing the future plans for his own concern, Mr. Hopwood does not seem to feel it inconsistent that this Association for the' j Advancement of Atheism is to be kept up by dues, assessments and donations, precisely as the churches are maintained. According to his reasoning, it is ridiculous for people to pay to have somebody tell . them about the existence ot a God, but highly commendatory to give their money so that somebody may tell them there is no God. Something Received Personally, it looks like about six of one and half a dozen of the other. In any event the p'eople are putting up the money, and they will probably continue to perfer the comfortable instead of the uncomfortable doctrine. At least the churches are giving us something for our money. It looks now as if this new organization of atheists was merely another clever device for the purpose of lifting dollars off somebody. When Mr. Hopwood charges the churches with being a useless expense, what, pray, does he think the Association for the Advancement of Atheism to be? These people shout that they will never believe in God until they have positive and scientific proof of His existence. But does not the stupendous power of their own brains prove something? Perhaps these atheists will be a good thing for us in the long run. At least, they wll cause the lukewarm Christians, Jews, Mohammedans, Buddhists and Holy Rollers to spring to the defense of their faith. This nice little scheme of Messrs. Smith and Hopwood for the downfall of the churches may be the very prop necessary to sustain them. HONORS BRIDE Mrs. Henry J. Schneider, 4727 Central Ave., entertained Saturday evening with a linen shower and 600 party honoring Miss Dorothy Monoghan, who will be married May 17 to William Hartma*. The hostess was assisted by her mother, Mrs. Frank Kirkhoff. The bridal colors, rose, blue and green Were .carried ; out in decorations, favors and con- | sections. , j

SECOND ONLY TO WEDDING GOWN is That going-away costume

Going-awny ensemble: lavenderblue, for the seashore (left); hunter’s green, for motoring (center) and a semi-sports model for an ocean trip. By Henri Bendel NEA Service Writer NEW YORK, May 9—Once the wedding gown is chosen—every bride should concentrate on hei* goingaway attire. This costume somes second only to the bridal gown itself and in its way has an importance that even that shimmering exquisite bridal frock lacks. For the bridegroom sees his bride in her wedding gown through the haze of flowers, music, confusion of guests and stage fright of saying “I will.” The type of wedding trip should in some measure determine the choioo

STRAW PURSES Crocheted straw purses, in flat and hand-bag models, ‘can be had in all the new compose shades to match summer hats. NOVELTY SETS * Three or four half-inch strands of gray leather fastened with gold or silver buckles fashion the newest sports bracelets. Matching cigaret cases complete the sets. “MARBLE” PUMPS Black and white glazed kid pumps, fashion’s newest bow to the black and white vogue, resemble marble in their finish. PAINTED HOSIERY Hand-painted birds perching atop embroidered or painted clocks, decorate some of the sheerest and most exquisite French hosiery. . INTERNATIONAL JACKETS The American sleeveless jacket is popular everywhere now. In France it is called a “gilet,” in England, “waistcoat." NEW SHADE Grecian rose is the newest shade for sports frocks. It is nearer a light terracotta shade than anything else. ” , Baris prints Paris estimates that 60 per cent of the summer frocks are of figured materials, either sheer' crepes chiffons or heavy prints.

of the going-away costume. A month’s camping trip in the woods calls for a different outfit than Atlantic City demands. A European voyage asks for a going-away costume that would not be appropriate for a* auto tour. Must Be Ensembles All going-away costumes this season have a common denominator, jiowever. Os course they must be ensembles! And do not forget the hat planning the ensemble. Today are pictured three traveling costumes for the bride which give a variety of choice. First comes a charming hunter’s green ensemble created for a bride who wishes either a trip to the Grand Canyon or an auto tour of California. Its color defies dust —its crepe roma material defies wrinkles. The dress has short sleeves and a becoming rounded neck which has cording finish instead of a collar. The entire skirt is corded perpendicularly and attached at the hipline to the panelled waist. It has no superfluous bows or trimmings but its suave smartness comes from perfect tailoring. The coat catches the cording idea but for variety executes it by having it decorate the upper portion of the coat and the sleeve running around the body instead of up and down. A gray felt Qiglio hat tops it, so soft that its brim will nug its wear-

er’s head in the rear if she loans back to rest and will shield her eyes in front from the bright sun’s rays. Second comes the costume designed for an ocean trip. A smart Paquin semi-sports model, it is fashioned from parchment shade jersey for the jumper and crepe de chine for the skirt, finely pleated. Both skirt and blouse have scalloped bands of stonerose colored crepe decorating them. Just the costume to strut the deck in or play quoits! The seashore calls for light colors, so in the third costume I chose Ibis, a lavender-blue. The crepe roma frock embodies all the latest style points—finely pleated bolero topping a finely pleated skirt with a smart yoke—short sleeves that flare in a new way like the bolero —and a bow that ties the collarless neckline becomingly. It is a highly suitable frock for the boardwalk. The coat is a much lighter shade —almost a gray. One of the new developments this season is the lighter coat which repeats, softly like an echo, the color tone of tlie frock. This coat is the very latest development in the new yoke line* From the deep yoke which hugs to the shoulders tucked panels extend to the hem-line. The sleeves and back repeat this treatment. An aviator’s cap of Ibis felt adds its "touch of chic by a cartridge effect over each ear and the new swallow-tail back.

PALE, SALLOW LITTLE STRENGTH Young Girl, Excessively Nervous and Weak, Grows Strong and Well, Gets Rosy Cheeks, by Talcing Cardui. Mrs. Thomas L. Nash, who lives at 3 West Jefferson Ave., Vincennes, Ind., relates the following interesting mother’s experience with her daughter: “My young daughter had not been well for over a year when I began giving her Cardui, but very soon after she began taking it, her health improved. * “She had looked badly. Her skin was pale and often sallow. She was very nervous and appeared to have little strength. She was tall for her age and over-weight. She was 14 when I began giving her Cardui, and I had her take the medicine for several months. “Her improvement was so noticeable that many of our friends remarked about it. She grew strong and well, and her complexion grew healthy. “Her rosy cheeks and cheerfulness were testimony of what Cardui can do for young girls. All the excessive nervousness left her, and she is a normal, healthy girl*now. “I am glad to tell other mothers of my experience with Cardui as I know many are anxious about the health of their young#girls.” Composed of purely vegetable ingredients and containing no deleterious drugs, Cardui can be used safely by every woman.
