SOME CAUSTIC COMMENTS ,
ON THE WAY CIRLS DRESS
Here Is what some Atlanta women have to saj*about the way Atlanta
women and girls—some of them—dress on tho streets, the same topic
which called forth caustic comment from the pulpits last Sunday:
‘‘Atlanta Is (he best face powder market In the country."
"Somo Atlanta glrla are like walking advertisements for a paint com
pany." ,
"The way young girls dress on the streets Is a greater evil than any
other—for It leads to worse." >
"It Is up to Ahe fathers of these girls—they know how other men

Marion Milner Again Marries
Wife From Whom He Was
Divorced Years Ago.
In the front office of. I'he Georgian
Monday night at 10 o’clock, In the
presnee of a few witnesses who
dropped In as curious spectators, Ma
rion Milner, of Birmingham, a former
policeman of that city, and Mrs. Luella
Milner, his bride of several years sgo,
were reunited In marriage by Justice
of the Peace O. H. Puckett. .Divorced
•even years’ ago, the couple found that
the old flame of love had never been
extinguished—the years of separation
had fanned It Into an even etronger
blase, and Mr. and Mrs. Milner for the
second time became happy bridegroom
and blushing bride.
The ceremony was performed In the
presence of one witness whose existence
had gone a long way In stimulating a
revival of lore between the husband
and wife. She was a curly-haired lit
tle girl, who, while the father and
mother were again starting out on a
tour of matrimony, lay snugly cuddled
In a big chair, peacefully sleeping.
When It was all over, the -parents
seized the child In their arms and took
turn about In showering kisses upon
the drowsy eyes.
Mrs. Milner and her "Hie girl have
been living In Atlanta for some time,
and Monday the'father came here to
see Me daughter. At sight of mother
and child, the old love cropped out
•trong, and Milner suggested that old
differences, divorce proceedings, and
the like, be forgotten, and that love
again be enthroned. Thu sentiment was
mutnal, and the romantic wedding was
agreed on. Neither wanted any delay,
and no time was lost In preparation.
Coming down town, they went Im
mediately to The Georgian office and
explained that they desired to be mar-
rled and that right away. Night

It Is known the negroes are In a ties

Beginning with the lynching of Ed

the bad blood between tho white and

That the negroes must be taught i

That the blood of tho lynched negro

After th* .present law has been

The Glidden tourists got awa^ In a
bustle and turmoil Tuesday morning.
The start was made from Kimball and
Peachtree-sts. promptly at 8 o’clock,
and *1 minute* later Starter Ferguson
motioned the last of the 51 contestants
to pull out and Jumped Into hi* Krlt
car to follow.
The tourists were up early and th*
Georgian Terrace hotel was a scene of
confusion and hurried good-bye* before
7 o’clock. Luggage had to be brought
out and packed In the cira and every
thing made ready for the morning run
to Macon. Things seemed to be going
smoothly enough and every one who
had anything to say made a nice re
mark about Atlanta and her hospitality.
Hundreds of Atlantans stopped off
on their way to work to see the cars
checked out. Automobiles, street cars
and wagons blocked Peachtree-st. on
either side, allowing Just a narrow lane
down which the tourists started thru
the city to Macon.
Besides th* 51'contesting cars, there
were about a dozen official and press

fire station was standing quietly on the
edge of the crowd In case a nre should
get started.
The scene between 8 and 8:10 o’clock
was a wild one. Handkerchiefs waved
and each car wae cheered a* the starter
waved the driver to go ahead.
Photographer* from the local papers
and those who were making the tour
mingled with dozens of amateurs who
wanted to get a snapshot of the first

Boston, Oct. 24.—A lova letter written
to the Rev. Clarence V. Rleheeon by
Avis Linnell forma the best defense
that ha*, yet developed In connection
with the ' charge against Rlchrson of
having poisoned Miss Linnell.
The letter was found among Riche-
eon'e effects at his home. Jn II accord
ing to one .of the lawyers Interested tn
Atlanta women, those who are of ma
ture Judgment, do not hesitate to Join
their criticisms of the present styles
In women's dress—or the burlesque on
the styles as seen In Atlanta—to those
made fom the pulpits of fwo churches
last Sunday. Of a half-dozen Inter
viewed on the subject Tuesday there
was not one to defend the exaggerated
hobble, the short skirt, the figure-fit
ting lines, and all the other follies of
the mode which have brought on such
a storm of censure from the sober-
minded.
It Isn’t that everybody dresses that
way. But a stranger on the streets
would wonder what manner of woman
kind Atlanta must have, to Judge from
the passing show.
Not only clothes, but paint, came In
for Its slinre of criticism from the
women Interviewed. One declared that
a traveling salesman had told her At
lanta was one of the best face powder
markets' hn knew, and she believed
him. Judging from what she could seo
In Whitehall and Peachtree-sts. any
afternoon.
Here Is wnat somo of the Atlanta
women have to say on tho aubject:
"The Evil of the Tlmss."
Probably no woman In Atlanta Is In
a better position Just at this time to
Judge of the way In which the women *
of tho city dress on the streets than Is
Miss Daisy E. Eckert, general secretary
of the Young Women's Christian asso
ciation. She le a young woman and hn*
spent tho past two years in traveling
over the country In the lntereet of tho
Phllathea classes of the Baptist church.
The fact that she has heen able to ob
serve women In practically all of tho
large and many of the small cities of
the United States and compare tho
Atlanta women with them enable* her
to form a close opinion on Uis charge
mad.- h.v a number of (he < Irv'e preach-
ers thnt the women of Atlanta over
dress In such a manner as to attract
unflue attention.
’’The evil of dress, or rather over
dress. which confronts the women of
America roday Is, I think, the greatest
evil of tne times,” Miss Eckert said
when asked for her opinion on tho sub.
Jert.
"I say that the way In which young
American girls dress on the streets Is
a greater evil than others, such ns
drink and Immorality, because this very
thing lends to all these other evils In
so many eases.
"I'm a Southern woman. I was born
and have lived In Newport, Ky., and !
have the greatest loyalty for the wom
an of tho South and feel rather dls-
the defense. Miss Linnell asks the min-1 loyal when I say somo things about

“This letter," said a man close to. the
defense, "was found In Mr. Rtcheson's
room before the police got there and Is
now In the hands of Ills attorneys. It
will prove, with other evidence we have
found, that Mr. Rlchsaon was not re-
sponsible for Mlsa Linnell'* trouble."
The body of Miss Linnell will bo ex

Thomas V. Rlcheson, who reached
Boston late last 'night from his Virginia

that hs would fight to the last drop of

The aged silver-haired Virginia to
