THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS.
SIXTY-FIVE LINGERIE DRESSES LIKE THESE
12.50, 13.50 and 15.00
Creations sf Lawn and Swiss
Sixty-five Suits in four different styles—two
in Dotted Swiss and two in White Lawns.
We picture one of the styles in both
materials.
Admirable styles, both of them, and beau
tifully carried out in the sheerness of Lawns or
Swisses.
In the fineness of real Swiss Embroidery
Insertings and round thread Val Laces.
• The very things that every woman holds
as so important in the daintiness of a lingerie
dress.
For given a pretty face, a lovely hat, a
charming pose and a dress of white, what can
be fairer to look upon? Especially when the
dress is an intricate creation of sheer lawn held
together by yards upon yards of lace and em
broidery. But this very setting together of
embroidery bands and the whipping of narrow
vals often makes* you hesitate; or the cost of
having it done makes you give up the idea en
tirely. Here, then, is an opportunity well timed.
You can judge from the sketches the cor
rectness and “chic” of the designs.
You can see at a glance, when you come
to see the dresses themselves, how much more
they are really worth than the price we have
put upon them.
These are in every respect, making, style
and materials, 12.50, J3.50and 15.00 dresses.
We’ve sold the same style and quality at
those prices.
But these come to us in a way that makes
close to half price possible.

C/I YSCHOOLS 70 CLOSE
WIIHOUI A S1AGLE SPEECH
Another dear old tradition gone by
the wayside!
Even the schools have become Inocu
laled with the commercial spirit of the
age, and the announcement goes forth
that the custom of closing exercises In
Atlanta's public schools has Joined the
ranks of the days that are passed.
The bashful littls girl In her teens
will no more tell her clasamatee how
"grandma danced the minuet" In a
quivering voice, with her plump little
thumb beating a tattoo on her teeth,
and with her tear-dlmmed eyea looking
downward at two small feet, the toea
of each pointing accusingly at the toea
of the other.
The braxen youngster. Immaculate
for one time In a new black suit and
erstwhile white tie, will not be allowed
to petrify nr paralyse his classmates
with his stirring, stentorian account of
Washington'! crossing of the frosen
Delaware, or of the charge of that
Light Brigade, surrounded on all aides
by belching cannon end biasing gun.
The children. In usual attire, will go
to school Friday, recite their lessons
until 11 o'clock and then be dismissed.
Next September they wlllresume
their studies.
The "Star Spangled Banner” will not
be waved on high, nor will It be sung
high or low. Washington will not cross
the Delaware on Friday, Grandma won’t
dance the minuet, and Spartacui will
be given no opportunity to addreee hie

WHATABOUITHAI EGG?
CHEMIST DODGES QUESTION
That mysterious egg, found In Fraser
street Inst week, Is still puxsllng resi
dents of the locality. When an ordi
nary hen egg bears an Inscription
which reads like a chapter from holy
writ, It Is lime for folks to get busy
and mend their ways, say the sages of
Fraser street.
Mrs. Douglass, who is owner of the
hen, and, therefore, of the egg and Its
Inscription, took the strange find to
tho state chemist, to gain an expert;
opinion on the Inscription.
•'It's certainly an egg,” said the •
chemist.
"How about tha Inscription?" asked t
Mrs. Douglass.
"Very striking Inscription,” returned j
the chemist.
"But how did It get (here?"
"Don't you think this Is tits coldest;
weather for June you ever sawV aeked I
the chemist, ducking the question skil
fully. For stale officials are chary of
giving opinions on the weird and won
derful.
But the egg hasn't been opened, and
Is rapidly outliving Its first youth. In
u few days It will be hardly In shape
for expert criticism. Mrs. Douginas
Is making nn effort fo preserve It. but
hasn’t deckled whether to embalm It,
put It In alcohol or Just boll It.
The Georgian received the following
suggestion from tv Interested reader
Monday:
"PleaB* allow me to suggest to Mrs.
Iwuglass. of Fraser street, that she
open her wonderful egg.
“Guess It contains a diamond or a
full chapter of revelations either to
Mrs. Douglass or Harris.
"More likely revelations than dia
monds, however.
