Special Cable to The Georgian. PARIS. April 23.—Cretonne tailor- nade costumes with a dainty pattern of small roses and bunches of other Mowers, suggesting by their wjbdued hade and charming design the well- known materials of the Pompadour period, were an utter novelty launched it the Longehamps paddock. The trimming of these novel costumes, which mark a new departure in sum mer fashions, is exceedingly simple, in cut the skirts follow the genera) draped style, while the coats, half fitting in the back, are rather full in front and gathered together at the "aist by two short straps, the plain men coat it»elf finishing some six inches, below the waist with a round ed front and an equally short back. The feature of the spring, however, ippears 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, hifTon 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 for the theater. Hand-painted dresses, which are lid to be the coming craze at fash ionable summer resorts, are encoun tering the most favorable reception, fiespite the price, which is said to be 40 per cent in excels 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 **kirt hung in soft folds, with this flora] border as the only trimming, while a charming drawing fleet consisted of black plain mous- -• line. 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 irge hand-painted peonies in front, the same idea being repented in the back Her Hat Fails to Win Back Husband He Refused to See Her Even With New Millinery, Then She Tries Suicide.

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 been 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 und entertaining, the show is the sort that is sure to keep the Lyric filled all week. ‘BLACK JEWELRY’ IS ALL THE RAGE BASEBALL Diamond News and Gossip W.

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.” SUDDEN DISAPPEARANCE OF GIRL CAUSED BY, CUPID Good Bill at the Grand. In keeping with an established cus tom, the Grand and the Lyric seale 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, ‘Wight prices at all holiday matinees.” Tt’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 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— rot 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 an others, including P’d Morton, the singing comedian. 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 near, 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 purpose?. They may be worn with absolute propriety, at even a tango dance. Rhinestone necklace and hairbands are considered smart.
