DRAMA KT<3 £># HUMOR C*3 Kn f 4 We’ll Be Out to Greet the Crackers Home To-day 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.

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!

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.

"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.

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."
