10 THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. MONDAY. JULY 1. 198f. 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.

Forrest and George Adar 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.

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.
