Cretonne Tailor-Made Costumes
and Decolletes for Outdoors
Are New Fashions.
Special Cable to The Georgian.
PARIS, April 23.—Cretonne tailor-
iiade costumes with a dainty pattern
of small roses and bunches of other
flowers, suggesting by their subdued
-nade and charming design the well-
mown materials of the Pompadour
jeriod, were an utter novelty launched
? the Longehamps paddock. The
:rimming of these novel costumes,
which mark a new departure in sum
mer fashions, is exceedingly simple.
In cut the skirts follow the general
draped frtyle, while the coats, half
fitting in the back, are rather full in
ront and gathered together at the
waist by two short straps, the plain
men coat itself finishing some six
inches* below the waist with a round-
1 front and an eyually short back.
The feature of the spring, however,
* ppeal's to be the free adoption of
semi-evening gowns for outdoor
vents. Some dozens of mannikins
paraded this afternoon in a series of
harming dresses of the lightest silk,
hiffon and crepe of varying colors.
From the palest to the most brilliant,
generally with low collars of the Med-
icl type. In some cases decollete, as
for the theater.
Hand-painted dresses, which are
;iid to be the coming craze at fash
ionable summer resorts, are encoul^
!• ring the most favorable reception,
despite the price, which is said to be
40 per cent in excess of the ordinary
figure. One of the most admired ex
amples seen to-day was of black
mousseline de sole, 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
fleet consisted of black plain mom*
‘lino. The skirt was quite short and
lightly slit in front; the bodice, of
rich coral chiffon, was veiled with
black mousseline de sole, and hud
large hand-painted peonies in front,
the same idea being repeated in the
back.

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
the reconciliation which Mrs. Walter
Graham hoped would be effected
when her husband should see her in a
pretty hut she bought yesterday, the
woman is reported to be dying in
the Monttflore Hospital from poison
laken as a result of disappointment.
Following domestic trouble Mr.
«nd. 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 corne 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

Uprising Against
Vandyke Beards
Downtrodden Barbers of New Jer
sey Turn at Last Upon Them
Curled Mustaches.
TRENTON. X. J, April 13 Van
dyke beards will hereafter be scarce
in Trenton. The Master Barbers' As
sociation has decided to ban them if
i hey can. because they are difficult to
'rim and, some of them say, many
aim wear them are "crunks." There
fore the barbers have jumped the
price of trimming Vandyke beards
from lo to 25 cents and threaten a
lurther increase if they do not eoon
decrease.
The wearers of mustaches who like
to have a fancy curl on the ends will
hereafter have to pay 5 cents extra
for the curl. Tile barbers insist that
such curls waste their time, and pa
trons who demand such service are
overparticular.

Here's the Real
Meaning of Swank.
‘Swank, swank? 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 want to know.” was
the reply, “both of them are Picca
dilly for the gold old Missouri phrase
‘throwing the dog! Now keep 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 habit of being late every morn
ing until one of ttio employees of the
market told him that the proprietor
knew he was not coming to his work
on time and if he continued th^ prac
tice he would bo 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. You
used to be 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 when 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 the
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 the proud papa, pen
sively. "I’ve already settled on that.”
“Wall, 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 1 saw her
condition l gave her the $100 which
had been given to me for her. Just
us J left she asked me If 1 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.” ’
‘ 1 went away, but returned in a
few moments to get an umbrella l
had left behind. I 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 I went to the Terminal
Station to meet my wife. She is taller
than the average woman and I am
about six feet m\self, 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 uhtil we reached home.
"Then after l had taken my rcolding
tor 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 ne.w spring
lids."

Fanny Crosby Sends Verse to
Blind Marvel and May Appear
on Stage With Her.
NEW YORK, April 23. Helen Kel-
lor, who is deaf and blind, received
word from Fanny Crosby, the 90-
year-old blind hymn writer, that she
would appeal on the stage and help
along Miss Kelie» s work.
In her acceptance <?f the invita
tion Miss Crosby enclosed the fol
lowing verses:
There is a chain ihat links rqy soul to
thine;
I may not clasp thy gentle hand in
min* 3 ,
And yet in thought each other we
may greet,
And spend this day in converse pure
and sweet.
I met thee once, ’twas many years
ago.
And yet its mefnories like a fountain
flow;
I hear thy voice, as then its 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,
uh. let me ask that mine receive
may be.

DAY'S NEWS
THE PLAYS
THIS WEEK
“Busy Izzy” Is Popular.
George Sidney’s engagement at the
Lyric is likely to be one of the most
popular of the season. “Busy Izzy’’ Is
at his 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 Yokes He has beer, a real star
for the last few seasons, and every year
he makes his show better than before.
With the able assistance of Carrie
Weber and Dick Hume, and a corps of
singing and dancing comedians and
pretty 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 Bilt 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 popuiar price
entertainment in Atlanta there has been
a landing rule, “Night pricey 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 we<>kR of vaudeville, and. all be-
cause the show seems to be what the
play patrons 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 Shattuck,
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 to Little Billy—
not a dwarf, but a little boy, who is a
giant of an entertainer. Little Billy is
most versatile.
Jamas Leonard and his assistants
present a travesty on Shakespeare, and
there an 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 fire advantage, the various character
'parts being well handled.
This is the first stock company which
lias appeared at the Atlanta Theater.
The initial matinee of the week will ba
given this afternoon.

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 arc
no longer confined entirely for
mourning purposes. They may be
worn with 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 not go!
M’CARTY 8IGNS FOR BOUT.
CALGARY. ALBERTA. April 23.—
Luther McCarty, white heavyweight
champion of the world, yesterday ac
cepted terms to come to Calgary to
ner of the Pelky-Morris fight scheduled
for May 1.
Up In the Wisconaln-Illinois League
they will try a scheme of playing morn
ing and afternoon games on holidays,
but they will play the morning game in
one city and jump to another for the
afternoon game.
• • •
For instance. Milwaukee will play in
Racine July 4 morning and Racine in
Milwaukee the same afternoon.
• * *
They would play the wild if they tried
that in the Southern League. In most
cases they would have to start the
morning game a couple of days Deforc.

The Zanesville team is now traveling
under the name of the “Flood Suffer

Frank Wolfe has been secured from
the Newport News. Va., team to play

Charley Murphy has slipped a sea
son pas<= to everv member of tne ^.1 i-
nois Legislature in an effort to salve off
hostile Tf gis.'aljon.
• * *
J. McGraw claims he has seven men
who will steal forty bases each for the
season. That’s 280 for seven men, or
say 300 for the team.
* * *
The way president Lynch has started
after the rough-necks in his league
makes Ban Johnson look like an ama
teur.
Frank Chance still has the hundred
dollars he offered to the pitcher who
could beat the Senators. And they all
worked for it, too.
* * *
There’ll be some surprised big league
ball players the first time Wilson Col
lins, former Vanderbilt football, base
ball and track star, lays down a bunt
and starts for first. They’ll probably
figure that because he’s a pitcher he’s
slow. The truth is Collins is undoubt
edly one of the fastest men in the big
leagues to-day.

Mrs. Blossom Seeley Marquard is
