Mr. Clarence Wilson wears a bright blue coat and a general air of be wilderment regarding the goings on of grand opera stars. Mr. Wilson, be It known. Is associated with tho Geor gian Terrace Hotel in a responsible position—he responds to the loud shout of "Front,** and Is very popular early in the morning. Technically, Mr. Wilson 1s a bell boy. Actually, he is the embodiment of Atlanta's hospitality to the guests wl&htn its gates and a philosopher with It all, even if he has fallen in love with Mademoiselle Lucrezta Borl. “I don't get these guys*,” he re marked yesterday. "Here’s this Ca ruso. They say he gets $60,000 a night. Just to sing. Weil, if he does. I’d like to know what he wants to sit up in the window for in his night shirt and sing for nothin'. But he does, every roomin' right early. Caruso Wanted "Pillowy” Bed. "The flrrt night he comes in there comes a call from hit* room, and 1 goes up. “ 'All right, Mr Caruso.’ I says. ’Do you want some ice water?’ ** 'Joe water,’ he hollers T should ‘No,’ he say’s, SILK HAT HARRY’S DIVORCE SUIT The Judge Isn *t That Sort By Tad PCJMB wort,. 1 Just like that. 1 wants a bed.'

Which wa did.” Borl Makes New Conquest. Then Mr. Wilson told the story ot hi* own heart’s yearning. "This Miss Bor! is all right,” he ad- mitten. He cast his youthful eyes down the length of his bright blue trousers, and smiled bashfully. “Yes. sir," he continued "I falls for her, strong Them eyes of hers—say, what do you know about black eyes like them'’ But those French girls always did fas’nate me And believe mo. I'm pickin’ up a lot of French around here. Say, what do you know about this?" "Bon mi-It. nour-rlce,’’ he said, picking up the syllables carefully "Bay. ain’t that gom' to make a hit?' “Maybe,” acceded the elevator boy. "Can you say that with any ladles around?" "Sure, you boob,” said Mr. Wilson, fixing him with u scornful eye. "That's Just ‘good night, nurse,' in French. They all talks French, and we got to get along with them somehow^ sisnfl in French? Sacrei “Oh. mon gosse, Mr. Wilson hailed him No. 7 drew back his right threateninglj “Wnatdher handin' me?" he growl ed “Oh," said Mr. Wilson, airily, "I was just fellin' you 'Oh, you kid.' Mr Scotti told me that." Je me rase, et je me fajs vteux " 'Say. how d’you like that? It took me a long time to get on to that. But the cigarette-roller man explains tt to me, and writes it out for me. It means I should worn and get a wrinkle." Segurola was a general favoriatn among the boys at the Georgian Ter race last week. They talked about him more than the others. Bay, asked Mr. Wilson, wonder- lngly, “how do yon reckon he keeps that glass in his eye? They Joke him about sleeping in it, but there ain’t no Joke about it Durned if I be lieve he can got It out. You reckon? Even when he was turkey trottin' out there with Miss Fornla he kep tt in Then There’s That A-rnb. "But he's clever They’re all clever and cut up and sing Just like tt lot of children.

There is a little girl in West End who Is very fond of her grandmother. Grandma will celebrate her birthday In a month but Just at present she Is quite til. The little girl had made a birthday present—a pin cushion— and nothing would do but she must take It to her grandparent. After the usual greeting kisses had been exchanged, the little girl of fered her present. "Here, grandma, is a birthday gift I made for volt myself and I hope you'll like It," she said. 'It’s awfully pretty, dearie,” said grandma, "but you are a little pre vious, I think. My birthday is some while off.’’ ’I know, grandma," was the reply, “but I thought you might be dead when your birthday came so I brought the present over to-day.” Just what grandma said and thought Is not in evidence.

The man had a queer look on his face as he stood at tbe curb on Whitehall Stret and Raxed Intently up toward the top of the tall dry goods store building IBs lips moved but not a sound did he make. His hands were clenched tightly. A boy stoppod to take a look. Then a man halted. Then another man. Finally a young girl stopped to gase upward to find out what engaged the man's attention. Others stopped, too, and after a bit a crowd han assem bled. Nobody seemed to know what it was all about, but every eye was trained toward the top of the big building. Finally the man glanced down and about him, surprised at the throng which hemmed him In. A look of be wilderment overspread his face. "What's all this fuss?" he demand ed of a youth standing close by. "Search me," said the one ad dressed. "I have been wondering what you were doing.” "Oh, is that it," said the stranger, a big smile breaking loose as he spoke "1 was Just trying to keep my temper. You know that old saw about counting a hundred when an gry? Well, 1 was doing that! Fellow Just did me a mean trick and I want ed to beat him up. Joined the church ttie other night and thought I'd stop fighting, counted the hun dred too! That was a sure cure.

D, a Short Step in Fashions In a vision of color and a maze of designs that would delight the heart of the most esthetic futurist painter and “knock the spots ’ out of Joseph’s coat, the newest of new summer cos tumes has reached Atlanta—the “Futurist” suit. Indeed, the famous oat of many colors fades into in significance beside this latest crea tion, which, when donned, will make My Lady radiate all the brilliance and warmth of an intensified rain bow. Just what the predominant color in these suits is would be hard to say. In one or two models a flame- orange, green, blue, white and yellow are the outline colors, and in others brown, gold, green, dull red, peacock blue and lavender prevail. Undeniably “Smart.” And yet they are pretty. And they are undeniably smart. The many colors are blended in soft tapestry effects in a jaunty coat which is softened by a wide collar of heavy lace, and the skirt is of w hite with design of the colored tapestry effect. The general futurist idea of splashing everything together for effect results well in the ratine of which the suits are made and which lends itself well to this color scheme The futurist suit is incomplete if hat, sunshade or shopping bag hap pen to match each other or the suit itself. Different Colors. Everything must add a different touch of color, and In a suit where the colors run to browns and golds it is w r ell to have a hat of flame orange, parasol of bright green and bag of white silk embroidered in blue or gold. These are the colors of the hat, sunshade and bag used in the picture, and the plumes on the hat are crossed in front, one being white and one black All told, the effect of the futurist commends the artists plea that fu turist ideas bring good results, and once seen these natty costumes are sure to be worn extensively during the coming season.

Next w r eek “A Butterfly on the Wheel” will be given by the company. This play has never been seen here, though a tremendous Buccese. It was a Shubert production, and not given at the At- anta because of that fact. The com pany is now rehearsing It daily and playing “Wildfire" each night. Grand Popular Despite Opera. The Grand this w r eek is recording a new success. In that with the tremen dous popular opposition that has been recorded here since last Monday, the big theater has played to nearly capacity at all of Its i»erformanceH. The variety of the Keith vaudeville show has attracted not only the regu lar theatergoers, but hundreds of vis itors. and the individual numbers have scored real hits.

James Leonard and company, and others on the bill have registered genuine hits. Forsyth Prepares for Opening. The advance sale of seats for the opening week of the Forsyth has com inenced. and there is every indication that the old-time interest in the “busy theater is to be revived. With but few exceptions, all of the permanent reservation list ha been con firmed, and there are hundreds of others who desire locations for some perform ance each week. It will be the policy of the management, however, to wait a reasonable length of time before can celing the standing orders of permanent seat-holders Sophia Bernhardt and Lou Anger and their company will headline the opening bill in a musical comedy playlet. Chris Richards, the eccentric English come dian. is also on the bill The Heim children, famous because of their come dy ability, and other feature acts will appear. “Busy Izzy” Cure for Blues. Musical comedy of the sort that is be ing offered this week at the Lyric by George Sidney and his clever company is probably the most popular entertain ment that could be given local theater goers. For two and a half hours there Is a bright conglomeration of fun. frolic, pretty musical numbers, and the indi vidual must Indeed be grouchy who can not find amusement in “Busy Izzy.' The chorus is one of the best that lias grated the stage of the Lyric this season, and is r.ot only pretty but dainti ly costumed As a sure cure for the blues. “Busy Izzy" will prove one of the most delightful attractions \>f the season. ,lies OF THE oyer Here is Caruso’s own story of how he played truant when he was a little boy, and the result: “It was in the springtime,” said Caruso, “so instead of going to school 1 made friends with the urchins of the streets, and played truant—hookey, you call it—for one solid month. All this time my par ents thought 1 was at my books, but one day a gossiping neighbor told them the truth, and next day when I set out, as usual, my father was spy ing, half a block behind, though I little suspected it. “You know that great, wrought- iroh grille in front of the central rail way station at Naples? Well, the idea struck me that it would be a delightful amusement to climb like a monkey, hand over hand, to the top. So up I started, agile as an ape, happy as the worthless little rascal that I was. But, alas! My father, with a stout riding whip, had follow ed, and was standing right below. He said nothing and let me climb on, un til I was too high to dare to jump back and then, without the least warning, he gave me the thrashing of my life I couldn’t get down. I tried in vain to climb up out of reach of the lash. It was a salutary drub bing, and I think it made me a better boy. At any rate, I followed him meekly homeward and never played truant again. # • • Here’s one told on Nat Goodwin. The incident happened several years back, but I do not believe it has ever appeared in black and white. And it is gospel truth, too. When Maxine Elliott was getting ready to build the theater which bears her name in New York she ex perienced some little difficulty in dis posing of a $10,000 block of stock. She tried several persons, but no one seemed to want it. Finally she was urged to write to Mr. Goodwin, whom she had divorced. In her letter she explained the sit uation and closed with the follow ing: “Considering our relations in the past I thought you might want to take some stock, not only because it would help me out of a tight place, but because it would be a good in vestment for you.” Nat read the letter carefully and after a brief reflection resealed it and wrote on the envelope: “Opened by mistake—Nat Good win.” He heard no more of the stock transaction Cats Raise Foxes; Birds Chew Tobacco Games To-day.

Bv Frances Sargent Osgood. Your heart is a music-box, dearest! w ith exquisite tunes at command, of melody sweetest and clearest. If tri.'d by a oellcate hand; But its workmanship, love, is so fine. At a single rude touch it would break; Then oh! be the magic key mine, Its fairy-like whispers to wake. And there’s one little tune it can play, That I fancy all others above— You learned it of Cupid one day — It begins with and ends with “I love!” “I love!’’ My heart echoes to it “I love!” SEEK RELATIVES OF DEAD MAN.
