Newspaper Page Text4 ATIANTA IS CAPTURED BY SHRINERS GREAT WELGOME FOR HORDE O¢ VISITORS Atlanta, dazzling and irridescent in every color of the rainbow and noisy with the blare of many bands, the din of horns and the rattle of cow bells, by Monday afternoon was com pletely in the possession of the giant hosts of invading Shriners. A bright sun shone down on the incomparable spectacle *and made more gorgeous the gaudy uniforms and more resplendent the showy gold braid, shining accouterments and the tinsel and glitter of the deco rations. : Every traln poured into the maw of the city hundreds and hundreds more of the Jjolly and boisterous Knights of the Fez. When it seemcd that the ‘reets and buildings and hotels could accommodate no more, they were whisked this way and that in speeding automoliles of the Yai rabg and in some way disposed of so that the next train found its way clear. From the moment of the thunder ous welcogne to the imperial Poten - . _f K& tate, Will W, Irwin, of Osiris Tem ple, West Virginia, in the morning, until a band of bronzed Texans from 121 Paso n the late afternoon wheelad down the startled streets on the backs of scurryng burros in most realistic imitation of a sortie by Gein eral Villa, Atlanta was a kaleidoscope of color and a bedlam of sound. “Stunts” were the order of the dav. Patrols partolled and bands sere naded. One had to shut his eyes if he did not' wish to be surprised by some astonishing innovation. That of the Texans probably was the most spectacular. Patrols Exceed Expectations. There was the bullfighter—W,. Jes gem-—dressed in the gaudy and pic turesque raiment of the toreador, and H. W. Bailey as the rich “ranchero,” with his dozen or more of peons. Al except the toredor and the Mexican don wore the wide straw sombreros and had slung over their shoulders the many-hued Mexican “serepas” or shawls, Hotels and rooming houses filled up rapidly. Patrol and temple head quarters were crowded from early in the morning. By noon 43 patrols had registered at the patrol headquarters on North Pryor street, Captain J. O. Seamans said that the number in the patrols was much larger than expected. | “Nearly every patrol has from five| to ten more members than were ex pected to come,” he said. “We are tolna to have a bigger crowd than we anticipated. The registering and an-‘ ering of questions for information g. kept my force hard at it since‘ they came down this morning.” 4 THE GEORGIAN'S N EWS BRIKFS. ‘MISS ELEANOR WILSON IN FER WEDDING GOWN & ~~ & . .. .0 ¢ T s ~ség: LA e !

It was ran by & old man, neerly 70 yvears old, but he looked yung in his eyes & he was as strate as Pa, only he dident have any round stummick c¢n him like Pa’'s stummick, He toald me wen | asked him why he stayed so slim that he had to work pritty hard all Iris life & that he dident have any time to grow fat. Pa went out in the woods hunting the next day with a guide, & 1 stayed in the hotel & talked to the old man wen he wasent busy. Wen he wasent busy he wud cum ocaver & ask me questuns about the big city. 1 wanted to tell him about the city, but his eves locked so deep that 1 was afrade he knew a lot more than I will evver know, so 1 only toald him a iittel about the skool I went to & sum of the shows wich Ma & Pa had took me to. , Wag ,you evyer ip the big city, 1 asked the old man. He looked at me a long time & then he sed Yes, my littel man, I was in the big city onst, but that was many yeers ago. I was thare for fif teen of the best years of my life, he sed. I saw the big city you are tell ing me about & I saw many things thare wich you have nevver seen & wich I hoap you will nevver see. I was born up here in the moun tains, the cld mag toald me, & wen I was a vary yung man [ thought that I wud like to go to the big city & maik a nalm for myself. Like lots of boys that go thare from a small place, he sed, I got in with a wrong lot, & the only naim I made for my self was the naim of beeing the wild est of the wild crowd I moved in. While I was living that way in the Lig city, my mother & father died up here in the mountains. Then I caim hoam, {oo lait, & 1 have been here with my mountaint evver since, [ have beecum welthy, the old man toald me, but I am afrade I can nev ver be as happy as I wud have been if 1 had stayed ware 1 was born, Wuddent you like to go back to the city now & see a show? 1 asked the cld man, My deer littel man, he sed, shows zre for the yung. Thare is nothing new in the city for me to see, nothing but the old strcets that I used to roam oaver wen I was maiking my grate mistake, Thay may have changed, but the saim ground is un der them that 1 used to walk over. 1 am happier here, Maybe I will cum & live in the mountains sum day, I sed (0 the old man. ‘el od og Maybe, sed the old man, but that JRPAISE GOWN LATEST PRI CENSATION PARIS, May 6.—A war against uni. formity in dress has been declared by some dressmakers who sent their manikins to the Longchamps race course to show off the latest creations in ultra-imaginative designs for sum mer frocks. 5 “The Surprise Gown,” a hybrid garment with che front and back totally dissimilar, created a furore. One remarkable model was of black satin, tight-fitting and buttoned from neck to hem, while the front was of gray taffeta with a series of small flounces from the waist to the ex ceedingly narrow hem of the skirt It justifies its name “surprise gown,” for the utter dGifference in style and color between the front and back ren dered it impossible to recognize from the back a woman to whom one had been talking a moment befere. The Inverted Cone Skirt. Another quaint, new model is the inverted pagoda skirt with upturned accordion pleated flounces, very wide at the hips apd diminishing gradu ally toward the feet, giving a perfect appearance of an inverted cone. This model, carried out in very thin taffeta ov tulle, worn with a very simple tight-fitting = bodice and a modified Turkisn trouser skirt in fine gerge or satin, is gaining favor daily, ut the divided skirt effect is hardly noticeable, as a long tunic of suppvle sitk covers the skirt almost to the ‘hem. The severity of these dark ‘blue costumes was relieved by gold ‘and silver embroidery all along the edges. A Peep Through Tulle. The gown which attracted most attention was made of black taffeta motifs with cut jet beads on the bodice and tunic; the narrow under skirt was entirely of cut jet beads, while the sleeveless bodice of thin black tulle plainly showed the shonuli der straps of royal blue satin ribbon attached to the lingerie. The freak dress is becoming humorous with the beginning of hot weather. The latest s a white fou lard fourreau gown on which ap palling pictures of fearsome beasts, obviously the work of the disordered imagination of some Futurist, are worked in brilliant silk thread. The skirt is slashed higher than cver, showing golden serpents on green silk stockings and golden slippers. A tinv brimless straw hat, entirely devoid of trimming, completes this startling toilet. Soft Sashes Popular. The tendency of legitimate fashion, however, runs in more conservative grooves. Accordion pleats are the ac cepted new style for summer in ail materials. Sashes of soft silk in all the art colors are widely popular and form a very pleasant relief to the otherwise simple gowns, Another new feature that seems 9 appeal to many elegant women is a silk apron, chiefly black or dari blue, made exactly like a house maid’s apron, and worn over a pleated silk skirt. The large hat has come to stay; lovely white and pink models were seen to-day. A charming shape of this description had a crown of pink with a brim made of several thick nesses of pink tulle. Another be coming white hat was in tagzal trimmed round the crown with larze velvet flowers of different shades of pink. The mode for long canes and para sols is at the zenith. Small fortunes are being spent for real, old Empire walking sticks’ which are trans formed into sunshades. One of these seen was five feet long'and had a gold knob and curious six-inch fer rule, such as were carried by the heaux of the Napoleonic era. will be after I have gone. The yung may love the mountains, but thay must see life first, the kind of life that the mountains do not know and would not care to know. They will {ire of that wunderful life in time, & then sum of them, the ones that have not died yung, will cum to the moun tains as 1 came, tired and too old. I always liked the city best till you talked this way, I sed to the old man. Maybe I will run away from hoam & ¢um here to live, Deant say that, sed the old man. Nevver run away from hoam, That is what 1 did. Stay with yure father and mother until thay think it is best f_m‘ you toc go. That is what I dident o, se sed, & Fwant you to promise to do that much for me. So 1 promised, but I wish 1 cud al ways be neer that old man & his 1 mountains.
