FEATS GEORGIA Cretonne Tailor-Made Costumes and Decolletes for Outdoors' Are New Fashions. Special Cable to The Georgian. ]>\RIS. April -3.—Cretonne tailor- made costumes with a dainty pattern ,.f small roses and bunches of other flowers, suggesting by their subdued shade and charming design the well- known materials of the Pompadour pried, were an utter novelty launched t the Longehamps paddock. The trimming of these novel costumes, j which mark a new departure in sum- fashions, is exceedingly simple. In cut the skirts follow the general .Irtped etyle, while the coats, half- miing in the back, are rather full in r.mt and gathered together at the waist in two short, straps, the plain men , oat itself finishing some six inches, belliw the waist with a round- ! . ,i front and an equally short back. The feature of the spring, however, ppears to be the free adoption of -emi-evening gowns for outdoor I events. .Some dozens of mannikins’ I paraded this afumoon in a series of I (arming dresses of the lightest silk, liffon and crepe of varying colors, Inmi the palest to the most brilliant, j, nerally with low collars of the Med- 111 i type! in some cases decollete, as I for tlie theater. Hand-painted dresses, which are I ^aiil to he the coming craze at fash- I finable summer resorts, are encoun- Itering the most favorable reception, , -pile tile price, whjch is said to be ni per cent in excess of the ordinary flgure. One of the most admired ex- amplvs seen to-day was of black nionsseline de soie, enriched with a dcrp border of peonies in water color. The graceful skirt hung in soft folds, „ ii'i inis floral border as the only : uming, while a charming drawing ■i consisted of black plain mous- The skirt was quite short and ■ illy slit in front: the bodice, oi| coral chiffon, was veiled with j . mousseline de sole, and had iro hand-painted peonies in front, same idea being repeated in the I ha* k.

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, lias 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 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. 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.’ “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, .«he said, the funeral ex penses were to be met, and there was three months rent to pay. I was sent to investigate and when I saw her condition l gave her the $100 which had been given to me for her. Just as I left she asked 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 in a few moments to get an umbrella 1 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 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.” TO HELEN KELLER Fanny Crosby Sends Verse to Blind Marvel and May Appear on Stage With Her. NEW YORK, April 23.—Helen Kel- ler. 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 Miss 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, ’twas many year* ago, And yet its memories 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, Oh. let me ask that mine receive may be.

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 lzzy" 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-maner, 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 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 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 lilt 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. James Leonard and his assistants present a travesty on Shakespeare, and there are others, including Ed Morton, the singing comedian. “Wildfire” Pleases Atlanta Patrons. “Wildfire,” the play made famous by Lillian Ruspell. 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 b# given this afternoon. ‘THERE IS NO BASEBALL TRUST,” SAYS PRES.

If there was no reserve clause it would be only a few years when the moneyed clubs in the leageus* would own all the star play ers and yo rob the game of its inter est.” BALL PLAYERS’ FRATERNITY WILL NOT TAKE ANY ACTION NEW YORK.
