WHO SEN7 THE FLOWERS?
PROF. PA ULI DIDN'J KNOW
At the conclusion of tho opening
overture by the orchestra at the Grand
one evening last week, a magnificent
bog of flowers waa delivered to Pro
fessor Pauli, the popular musician, by
an usher.
There was a card attached, but It
only conveyed the Information that
the flowers were presented by an ad
mirer, so the professor refused to per
mit even an examination by the mem
bers of the orchestra. He took charge
of the box and after the show carried
It to his home.
Professor Pauli Is a married man,
and when he arrived at his home with
the beautiful flowers his wife oecame
very much Interested. She asked Im
mediately who presented them, and
the professor referred her to the card.
She was not satisfied with the oxpla.
ration, and the handsome professor
was pusxled.
An Investigation was started at once.
In fact, two Investigations were started,
ons by the professor and the other by
his wife.
As the days have passed and an ex
planation Is seemingly os far away as
at first, the professor Is becoming anx
ious, wife his wife Is rapidly losing her
temper.
Each has been searching the faces of
the large audiences attracted to the
Grand by the Fawcett atock company,
and each has been scanning the faces
ol the female contingent, the professor
with fear and trepidation, and his wife
with a light of anger and determination
In her eyes.
The matter Is becoming exceedingly
embarrassing to the professor, and his
friends have determined to throw the
light of their knowledge on the matter.
At a recent symphony concert at
Montgomery, Ala., ten Atlanta mu
sicians were engaged, among the num
ber being Professor Pauli. Being a
cello player of renown. It fell to his lot
to play the Introduction to "William
Tell,” that bugbear to all musicians,
and the artistic manner In which tho
professor performed won the admira
tion of tho other musicians, and they
determined to show their appreciation
of the honor he had brought to the
musicians of Atlanta, so they quietly
took up a collection and repaired to a
florist's an secured the handsome floral
offering.
Professor Pauli never suspected the
source from whence tho flowers came;
noithor did Mrs. Pauli, and as matters
wore taking a rather serious turn, the
friends of the popular musician take
•his means of apprising him of the fact
that they presented the flowers.

CENTURY BUILDING.
A Great Corset Stock—Thousands
, ef Corsets—And One Especially
For Y
ou.
Many Corsets of many kinds—
A separate corset for each gown isn’t necessary, to be sure, but it would be
foolish to expect a gown that fitted perfectly over an imperfectly fitted corset.
Have you thought about it at all—or if you have, have you followed it by hav
ing an expert help you? Does the corset you wear really “belong to you” or not?
The mere fact that you’ve selected one, paid for it and are wearing it, does not
matter at all. There is one corset, or possibly two or three, that are exactly right for
your figure. If you were to go all through our stock trying on each you’d at last
hit upon them. But with the trained eyes and knowledge of corsets, our Corseteer
selects a box here, another there and another over this side in a twinkling of an
eye.
Two things are quickly combined. The price you want to pay and the corset
best suited for your figure at the price.
More changes in the build and line of corsets are noticed than for years back.
It would seem foolish, indeed, to attempt to follow prescribed dress fashions with
out first careful selection of corsets in the new shapes. Your figure must be large
ly taken into account in the selection of
type. The Corset Salon oilers a wide
range of choice in both foreign and domes
tic makes.

“Soldiers of Fortune,"
"Soldiers of Fortune," that thrilling
love story from the pen of Richard
Harding Davis, dramatised by Augus
tus Thomas and presented first to the
theatergoers of the country by Robert
Kdeson, will be presented at the Grand
Monday night and all this week by the
Fawcett Stork Company, with mati
nees on Tuesday and Thursday and a
special matinee on the Fourth of July.
The story of the play Is one of grip
ping Interest and holds the audience
enthralled from the first to the last.
There is enough comedy mixed up In It
to make the play diverting, while the
love story is one of compelling Interest.
Phyllis Sherwood this week Is cost
for the role of Hope Langham and
will be given a splendid opportunity to
demonstrate her ability. Regan Hugh-
ston will assume the role of Robert
Clay, created by Robert Edeson, and
In It he has a part just to his liking.
Miss Wheatley will be seen to an ad
vantage as Madame Alvares, and Miss
Conroy as Alice Langham.
Pastime Theater.
There will be a night performance at
the Pastime Theater Monday from 7:30
to 11 o'clock and the same Tuesday,
but no matinee Tuesday. The entire
company of vaudeville performers has
been secured by Randolph Rose for his
picnic and they will give a private per
formance then. But every afternoon
during the remainder of the week the
company will be seen both at matinees
In the afternoon and the evening, with
special matinees on the morning of
July 4th. The bill this week Is one of
great strength and Interest.
Mill Lolow, the dancing and rope
skipping artist, will start the fun roll
ing with her novel act. The Child
Wonders, Earl and Mazle Whitcomb,
aged 4 and 3, will follow In a series of
delightful songs and dances.
May and George James, the expert
whistlers and bird Imitators, follow for
delightful act, while Miss Anna
Htelnborn concludes the clever bill with
a number of Illustrated songs.
At White City.
Probably not less than 15,000 people
went out to White City Sunday after
noon and evening and heard the con
cert* by Wedemeyer's great band.
The street car company ran regular
5-mlnute schedules all day, with two
and three, and sometimes four cars on
each schedule, and yet It was quite a
task to accommodate the crowds and
keep from crowding the passengers.
By Tuesday, the Fun Factory, one of
the new amusements contracted for,
will be running, and by the latter part
of the week It Is probable that the
Haunted Swing, another new wrinkle
In the park amusement line, will be
In operation. The Ocean Wave, a new
fangled riding devica, will not be In
operatic before next week.
Manager Holland, of the vaudeville
theater, announces a good bill for this
week.

"A Stranger In Town" I* described as

and Its pleasing comedy will not bring
blush to the cheek of the most fas
