MONDAY, JUNE 3. 1907. 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. Tuesday 8:30 0 Clock 9.75 2hd Fir- M * loor Wear CONTRACTOR SHOT 8YNEGR0W0RKMAN W. M.

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 3h GANTLET T Tl BT TELEGRAPHERS Unless Grievances Are Cor rected Strike Is Ex pected June 12. gladiators.
