w THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN. NOTED BALLOONSTRESS, MRS. JULIAN P. THOMAS, • TALKS OF MANY THINGS She Just Loves Aeronautics, Reporters, Auto- ing and Pretty Clothes, Does This Noted Ex-Atlantan. BEING OBSERVED EXERCISES BEING HELD AT THE CAPITOL. A ERONAUTICS, reporters, auto mobiles and remarkably pretty clothes are among: the avowed objects of the love of Mrs. Julian P. Thomas, wife of Dr. Julian P. Thomas, the former Atlantan, and noted mem ber of the Aero Club of New York, who Is in Atlanta, nnd who granted a gra cious Interview Monday morning, Just before she left the hotel for a shopping trip on Whitehall street. Mis. Thomas, an Ohio woman, lived In Atlanta two years, while her hus band, the champion nmateur aeronaut, conducted a sanitarium on Forsyth street. She said Monday morning that she still considered Atlanta her old home, and that It was not so ylow down here. She arrived here Saturday morning from New York and has a suite of rooms on the fifth floor of the Piedmont hotel. Traveling with her are her two children and' a maid. As a reporter called Monday morning to see Mrs. Thomas, a handsome wo man was Inquiring of the clerk where she could buy some stamps, while In her hand she held several unmatled let ters, one of which was addressed to Dr. Julian Thomas. The reporter In-* traduced himself nnd wns cordially re ceived by Mrs. Thomas, who said sho would be exceedingly glad to tel! him anything he wanted, for she understood reporters so thoroughly. Loungers Were Interested. The wife of the high-flying doctor attracted much attention from the rather large crowd of loungers In the lobby of the hotel, as she walked to the cigar stand to purchase stamps. A woman of striking figure, a wealth of blsck hair In decided contrast to her pink and white complexion, and attired In an accordion-pleated pique walking suit, the Jacket of which, trimmed in black art medallions, partly concealed a waist of old lace, Mrs. Thomas, the cynosure of all eyes In the lobby, seat ed herself In one of the large wicker chairs and proceeded to tell all about the pastime of aeronautlng, purely for sport, and so enthusiastic was she that her face fairly beamed as she recounted some difficult landing that she and the doctor had mado In some far distant forest In Massachusetts, Maine. Hoboken. And "the count,” she told all about him, for he Is so enthusiastic and first Interested the doctor In aero nautlcs, about which the doctor Is, oh, wildly excited, though It is not allow ed to interfere with his practice, which has grown so largely since he eetab llshed himself In New York—not to talk shop, however. "You see, It all started from the au tomoblle," said Mrs. Thomas, ns she seated herself In the wicker. "The doctor Is an autolst also, Is he?" asked the reporter. And the Count, Too. “Oh, yes, Indeed; why we have owned a very large car for four years. You should let me tell you now, for It start' ed at the auto show, given by the Automobile Club, to which, of course, all the very best people In New York belong. The doctor was the chairman of the committee that had In charge the exhibit In which were shown some very handsome balloons that had been brought over to New York from Paris. The count, I mean Count I.eVeaux, he and the doctor are so very thick, you know, was the first to sow an aero nautical seed In Dr. Thomas’ ear. The Aero Club bought several of the bal loons, the handsome ones, though Dr. Thomas bought one for himself, so en thusiastic had he become on the sub ject. "Of course It Is only a fad with the doctor, and all of the people up In the East, who have taken It up onyl for sport, though. The man wjto takes the flights with the doctor In his balloon— which, by the way. was made by Mal let—M-a-l-l-e-t—French, you know— by the name of LeVee, Is a professions! pilot, and Is teaching the doctor all he knows of ballooqlng. "So you, too, nre enthusiastic about ballooning?" asked the reporter. 'Oh, yes; I should say sot and I feel awfully good this morning, as a tele gram from the doctor yesterday said he was going to make a flight In Pitts burg soon, but will wait until I come home. No. I don’t know whether I will go up with him, but I may; You see, some aeronaut made a flight In Phila delphia recently and we wish to beat his record. It Is Just like golf or tennis with us, and as a sport It Is very exciting, and really Is becoming very popular and Is being taken up. of course, by only the very best people. Mrs. Howard Oould made a flight not long ago, and In Paris It Is no unusual thing at all for a flight to be made.” The reporter's ignorance of balloons seemed to Interest Mrs. Thomas ex ceedingly, and she left nothing unsaid in elucidating thoroughly everything connected with the taking of flights. No parachutes are used, she skid, for there was no danger except In coming down, which has to be taken rather Slowly, a too sudden descent being risky, the more sudden the more risky. "fan you give me a picture?” asked the reporter. “Oh, I Love Reporters!” 'Why, haven't you a picture? I am •o sorry I have none with ,me, for I know exactly how It 1s with you report- era. oh, I love reporters, for I know them so well. In New York I know a large number and see so much of them. Dr. Thomas always gives them all the Information he can. The reporters there are awfully fond of him. They come right Is the house and take the pictures ofr the .rail, and always with a smiling, 'Oh, I'll bring It back, Mrs. Thomas,' so pleasantly, you know, that It Is hard to refuse, and now and then one Is brought back. I know your city editor will ask yoirtf you secured the pictuce, and If you don't have one he will look at you as If to say, 'Sorry you fell down on the story,’ but I really have none with me. Now, my sister may have one; I really think ahe has; though she told me not long ago that she hated to •how It to any one. It was so unlike me. Maybe she will give It to you, if you will promise to return It. What's your name?—well, this Is my sister and you may ask her for the picture." The picture was at home In the bot tom of a trunk, in which were packed odds and ends, and’as It would take a good while and the picture was not very good. It was announced that i search would be Instituted, for It to night, and the reporter could have Tuesday. "The call for plcturea In New York was so heavy that the papers Just had us go to Marceau and have a lo taken which we did. I am so sorry I haven't one with me, for I know what It means to you. Now, Is there anything else you want |o know? I am always glad to give the reporters anything I con, for I like them; they are always so very kind. Oh, I know them like a book." The Occasion of the Visit. "What am I doing In Atlanta? Well, I am to be matron of honor at a wed ding here of Miss Kathleen Thomas, the doctor's sister, t„ Mr. McMillan, and I suppose I will be here the rest of the week. Why, I have been here al ready two days and you are the first reporter I have seen. I had begun to think I would escape this, though It seems not. Why, In Cincinnati, I had hardly been In the city a halt hour be, fore three or four reporters were camp. Ing on my trail. One of them, whom asked how he knew I was coming, showed me a telegram from one of our members In New York, telling him “ might be able to give theitl some assist ance In running a car, which they had there. I mean balloon; we call them all cars. But I could do nothing with It. Very poor material In It, Indeed, not like ours In New York. "I am going directly back to New York from here, for we have a lot of things In aeronautics on foot, and I don't want tp miss any of them. So sorry about the picture, for I know what It means to you." * M'MICHAELACTTESTED INTHESUPREMECOUR > Argument as to the constitutionality of the McMIchael act, levying a ape clal school tax, was heard In the su. preme court Monday.
