Cretonne Tailor-Made Costumes
and.Decolletes for Outdoors
Are New Fashions.
Special Cable to The Georgian.
PARIS. April 23.*—Cretonne tailor-
made costumes with a dainty pattern
of small roses and bunches of other
flowers, suggesting by their subdued
shade and charming design the. well-
known materials of the Pompadour
j.eriod, were an utter novelty launched
at the Longchamps paddock. The
trimming of these novel costumes,
which mark a new departure in sum
mer fashions, is exceedingly simple.
In rut the skirts follow* the general
draped srtyle, while the coats, half
fitting in the back, are rather full In
front and gathered together at the
waist by two short straps, the plain
linen coat itself finishing some six
inches, below the waist with a round
ed front and an equally short back.
The feature of the spring, however,
appears to be the free adoption of
semi-evening gow ns for outdoor
events. Some dozens of mannikins
paraded this afternoon in a. series of
charming dresses of the lightest silk,
chiffon and crepe of varying colors,
from the palest to the most brilliant,
generally with low* collars of the Med
ici type, in some cases decollete, as
tor the theater.
Hand-painted dresses, which are
•■«aid to he the coming craze at fash
ionable summer resorts, are encoun
tering the most favorable reception,
despite the price, which is said to be
4 0 per cent in excess of the ordinary
figure. One of the most admired ex
amples seen to-day was of black
mousseline de soie, enriched with a
deep border of peonies in water color.
The graceful skirt hung in soft folds,
with this floral border as the only
trimming, while a charming drawing
effect consisted of black plain mous-
*»eline. The skirt was quite short and
slightly slit in front; the bodice, of
rich coral chiffon, was veiled with
black mousseline de sole, and had
large hand painted peonies in front,
the same idea being repeated In the
hack.
Her Hat Fails to
Win Back Husband
He Refused to See Her Even With
New Millinery, Then She Tries
Suicide.
PITTSBURG, April 23.—Instead of
♦he reconciliation which Mrs. Walter
Graham hoped would he effected
when her husband should see her in a
pretty hat she bought yesterday, the
woman is reported to be dying in
the Monteflore Hospital from poison
taken as a resuit of disappointment.
Following domestic trouble Mr.
and. Mrs. Graham separated. From
the home of her parents, where she
has been staying, she called her hus-
• band last night by telephone and
asked him to come to see her new
nat.
Graham didn't go. The woman
brooded over the failure of her plan
all night and in the morning swallow
ed paris green.
Uprising Against
Vandyke Beards
Downtrodden Barbers of New Jer
sey Turn at Last Upon Them
Curled Mustaches.
TRENTON, N. J.. April 23.—Van-
dy'ke beards will hereafter be scarce
in Trenton. The Master Barbers' As
sociation has decided to ban them if
they can. because they are difficult to
trim and, some of them say, many
who wear them are “cranks.” There
fore the barbers have, jumped the
price of trimming Vandyke beards
from 15 to 25 cents and threaten a
further Increase if they do not soon
decrease.
The w earers of mustaches who like
to have a fancy curl on the ends will
hereafter have to pay 5 cents extra
for the curl. The barbers insist that
«uch curls waste their time, and pa
trons who demand such service are
overparticular.
THE SAILOR HAT.
When 1 was a boy of about sixteen
The girls wore hat? thaTwere neither
green
Nor purple nor blue nor pink nor pied.
And they didn’t have birds at the top
and side,
Andnthey didn’t have parrot or ostrich
plumes.
And they didn’t have spinach cr other
blooms;
And I fell in love—and I still stand
pat
yr the old time girl in the sailor hat.

Here’s the Real
Meaning of Swank.
“Swank, wank? What is this
swank you hear so much about?” in
quired a Tech freshman of his big
brother graduate at the Atlanta Ath
letic Club.
"Why, swank means ‘putting on
side,’ of course.” replied brother.
“And what does ‘putting on side’
mean ?”
“If you really wont to know," was
thp reply, “both of them are Picca
dilly for the gold old Missouri phrase
’throwing the dog! Now J<eep quiet.”
Of Late He’s Early,
Used to Be Behind Before.
An old German who keeps a meat
market on Marietta Street, has a
young clerk whose duty it is to open
and sweep out the market every
morning. Recently the clerk fell into
the |abit of being* late every morn
ing until one of the employees of the
market told him that the proprietor’
knew he was not coming to his work
on time and if he continued the prac
tice he would be discharged. Now
the boy Is first at the market every
morning and the other day the pro
prietor said to him:
"Of late you have been early. Toil
used to he behind before but, now 1
am glad to see you are first at last.”
Pete and Repeat
For Twins’ Names.
A dry goods clerk got the surprise
of his life the other day w*hen the
nurse telephoned that his household
had been increased by two bouncing
boys, weight six and seven pounds
respectively,
“What are you going to name tho
twins?” asked one of the other clerks.
“Why not name them Bill and T>
in honor of the two great baseball
favorites in Atlanta,?”
“Nope." said tho proud papa, pen
sively. “I’ve already settled on that.”
"Well, what are the titles?”
“Pete and Repeat,” said he.
William, the Corpse,
Opened the Door.
"Social service workers In New
York have to be on guard against all
sorts of frauds and fakes,” said a
well-known Atlantan who has re
turned from a trip to the Metropolis.
“Here is a story told me by a volun
teer worker:
“ ‘A woman on the East Side had
applied for help Her husband had
just died, she said, the funeral ex
penses were to be met. and there was
three months rent to pay. 1 was Sent
to investigate and when ( saw her
condition 1 gave her the $ 100 which
had been given to me for iier. Just
as I left she asked me if t didn’t
want to see William, her husband. I
didn't but not to offend her I followed
her into the kitchen, where we looked
at the "corpse.” ’
“ I went away, but returned in a
few moments to gel an umbrella 1
had left behind. X knocked on the
door and William opened It.'”
Why They Failed
To Find Each Other.
"Ever notice how intimately we as
sociate persons with their headgear?”
asked a man. "I never had until yes
terday, when T went to the Terminal
Station to meet my wife. She is taller
than the average woman and I am
about six feet myself, so we usually
have no trouble in finding each other
in a crowd. But we did this time:
as a matter of fact we didn’t find
each other until we reached home.
“Then after I had taken my scolding
for being stupid it turned out that
both of us had been trying to identify
the other by the hat and we looked
in vain, because both had new spring
lids.”
PENS LOVE POEM
TO HELEN KELLER
Fanny Crosby Sends Verse to
Blind Marvel and May Appear
on Stage With Her.
NEW YORK, April 23 —Helen Kcl-
lor. who is deaf and blind, received
word from Fanny Crosby, the 90-
year-old blind hymn writer, that she
would appear on the stage and help
along Miss Kellers work.
In her acceptance of the invita
tion Mias Crosby enclosed the fol
lowing verses:
There is a chain that links my soul to
thine;
I may not clasp thy gentle hand in
min",
And yet in thought each other we
may greet,
And spend this day in converse pure
and sweet.
I met thee once, ’(was many year-
ago,
And yet its memories like a fountain
flow;
I hear thy voice, as then Us tones 1
heard.
And fond affection clings to every
word
God keep thee still beneath His
watchful care.
And strew thy path with buds and
blossoms rare;
When other hearts their tribute bring
to thee,
Oh. let me ask that mine receive
may be.

SUDDEN DISAPPEARANCE
OF GIRL CAUSED BY CUPID
The search for Mies Gussie Harmon,
of LaGrange, who disappeared from
110 Luckle Street Saturday night,
was abandoned this morning, when

is living in a downtown hotel.

cret marriage because they feared
parental objection to the match.

DAY’S NEWS
“Busy Izzy” Is Popular.
j George Sidney’s engagement at the
Lyric is likely to be one of ihe most
Popular of the season. “Busy Izzy” is
at hks best, and has the same splendid
support that he has always brought
here. There is no better comedian in
his class than this little fun-maker, who
made his first big hit while with Ward
and Vokes. He has been a real star
for the last few seasons, and every year
he makes his show better than before.
With the aide assistance of Carrie
Weber and Dick Hume, and a corps of
singing and dancing comedians and
prefix girls in leading parts, all helped
by a chorus that is attractive, happy
and entertaining, the show is the sort
that is sure to keep the Lyric filled all
week
Good Bill at the Grand.
In keeping with an Established cus
tom, the Grand and the Lyric scale of
prices for the Saturday —Memorial Day
matinee will be night prices. Ever
since the establishment of popular price
entertainment in Atlanta there has been
a standing rule, “Night prices at all
holiday matinees.”
It’s a real vaudeville bill at the Grand
this week. The big theater has never
enjoyed a better patronage in its thirty-
three weeks of vaudeville, and all be
cause the show seems to be what the
play j>atrons want and will always sup
port.
It is the last bill of the season, be
cause commencing next week this class
of vaudeville will be transferred back
to the Forsyth, from where It was mov
ed last September. The Forsyth will
be more comfortable In the summer
months, and there you are.
There are several real features and
headliners on the bill. Truly Shattuok,
who came direct from musical comedy
successes in New York, where she has
been one of the principals in support of
George M. Cohan, has sung herself into
the. popular ranks. The big hit of the
bill has been credited lo Little Billy—
not a dwarf, but a little boy. who is a
giant of an entertainer. Little Billy is
most versatile.
James Leonard and his assistants
present a travesty on Shakespeare, and
there arc others, including Ed Morton,
the singing comedian.
“Wildfire” Pleases Atlanta Patrons.
“Wildfire,” the play made famous by
Lillian Russell, is being presented/in
admirable fashion this week at the At
lanta Theater by Miss Billy Long and
her players. Miss Long has already
become popular, and the Indications are
that the stock company will have an ex
cellent run this season.
The play is a good one, just the sort
that's likely to please Atlanta patrons
of the theater. The. company appears
to fine advantage, the various character
parts being well handled.
This is the first stock company which
has appeared at Lne Atlanta Theater.
The Initial matinee of the week will b<i
given this afternoon.

‘BLACK JEWELRY’
IS ALL IHE RACE
Earrings, Bracelet, Coat Chain
Bar Pin and Rings, Match
in Newest Fad.
Jewelry is to be cheaper.
Not diamonds, nor pearls, nor ru
bies, but street jewelry. Smoked
amber, coral and the “black” jewelry
are the features of the spring nov
elty market.
Also, hat pins are to be shorter,
Whitehall shops are showing the'lat
est in hat pins in six-inch lengths.
The latest is jewelry “sets” for
street wear, consisting of earrings,
coat chains, bracelet, rings and bar
pin all to match.
The long “black jewelry” coat
chains are considered the smartest
thing for madame's light spring suit.
The black earrings and bracelets are
no longer confined entirely for
mourning purposes. They may be
worn w’ith absolute propriety at even
a tango dance.
Rhinestone necklace and hairbands
are considered smart.
The Robespierre collar which had
such a popularity among all classes
during the last winter, is succeeded
by one of almost the same historic
period and very little different in
style, called the Catherine Di Medeci.
FORTUNE.
(Translated from the German of Hein
rich Heine.)
Good fortune is a. changeful jade,
She will not stay an hour with me!
She blows a kiss, the pretty maid,
Then sweetly smiles, and flutters free.
Misfortune, on the other hand.
Is old, and seems to like me so;
She says, “I’ve time, you understand.”
And sits and knits and will *iot go!

The Sunday ball lid is off in Nash
ville.
The word was passed around yes
terday in Voltown that a game would
be played Sunday, and the town went
wild. Atlanta plavers bring word that
a crowd of something like 4,000 saw
yesterday’s contest.
Of course the Sunday ball thfng is
not definitely settled, but it seems
practically certain that the attempt
will be made. The decision of the
court in February took down the bars,
but the baseball association stayed
off until the session of the Legisla
ture ended. Now there seems nothing
to prevent the playing of Sunday
games, and it is likely that the Crack
ers will make the experiment of a
Sunday game there.
