Cretonne Tailor-Made Costumes
and Decolletes for Outdoors
Are New Fashions.
Special Cable to The Georgian.
PARTS. April 23.—Cretonne tailor-
made costumes with a dainty pattern
of small roses and bunches of other
flowers, HUKffestinff by their mibdued
shade and charming design the well-
known materials of the Pompadour
period, were an utter novelty launched
at the ^ongchamps paddock. The
i rimming 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
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 gowns for outdoor
events. Some dozens of mannikins
paraded this afternoon in a series of
‘ harming 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 eases decollete, a»
for the theater.
Hand-painted dresses, which are
.said to be the coming craze at fash
ionable summer resorts, are encoun
tering the most favorable reception,
despite the price, which is said to be
*0 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 skirt hung in soft folds,
with this floral border as the only
Trimming, while a charming drawing
effect consisted of black plain mous-
>‘ellne. The skirt was quite short and
slightly slit in front; the bodice, olj
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.

sey Turn at Last Upon Them
Curled Mustaches.
TRENTON. N. J.. April 23.—Van
dyke beards will hereafter be scarce
itt Trenton. The Master Barbers’ As
sociation has decided to ban them if
they can. because they are difficult.to
irim and, some of them say, many
who wear them are "cranks." There
fore the barbers have jumped ths
larice of trimming Vandyke beards
from 15 to 26 cents and threaten a
further Increase if they do not soon
decrease.
The wearers of mustaches who like
to have a fancy curl on the ends will
hereafter have to pay 5 cents extra

such curls waste their time, and pa
trons who demand such service are

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 int^
tho habit of being late every morn
ing until one of the employees of the
market told him that the proprietor
knew he whs 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. You
used to be behind before but. now l
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 Ty
In honor of ths two great baseball
favorites In Atlanta,?”
"Nope," said the proud papa, pen
sively. *Tve already settled on that."
“Well, what are the titles?"
"Petc'and Repeat," said he
William, the Corpse,

'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 montha rent to pay. J was sent
to investigate and when 1 saw’ her
condition 1 gave her the 3100 which
had beeiv given to me for her. Just
as I left she askqd me if I 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 1n a
few moments to get an umbrella 1

There is a chaip that links my sou] to

I may not clasp thy gentle hand in

And yet in thought each other we
may greet,
And spend this day in converse pure

I met thee once, ’twas many years
And yet its memories like a fountain
flow;
I hear thy voice, as fchen 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,
Oh, let me ask that mine receive
may be.

DAY’S NEWS
“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 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
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
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 patrons want and will always sup
port. f
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
hi adliners 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.
.lames Leonard and his assistants
present a travesty on Shakespeare, and
there art; 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 Bijly 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 the Atlanta Theater.
The initial matinee of the week will be
given this afternoon.

15 ALLTHE RAGE
Earrings, Bracelet, Coat Chain
Bar Pin and Rings, Match
in Newest Fad.
Jewelry is to be cheaper
Not diamonds, nor pearls, nor ru
bles, but street jeweiry. 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 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 D1 Medecl.

FORTUNE.
(Translated from th© German of Hein
rich Hein©.)
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!
