I tuisite romance for Panurge, of the
• same family as the Legend of the
Sagebrush," In "I* .Jongleur;" an
[ other song for Panuigo in the second
set; all the music of Frere .lean and
Pantagruel: the choruses of nuns and
I monks, and an intermezzo for violin,

"Panurge" was admirably inter-

OF THE
oyer
Funny things happen in tip* hear-1
ing of the theater box office man n
, the courm* of a day s labor.
And some are as pitiful as they are
j humorous.
The other night an • u.crly woman
purchased a ticket at one of our
i theaters. She went in and sat down
in the foyer.
An hour later, after the perform
ance had begun, she came out and
approaching the ticket window,
! asked;
"Has the show started yet?"
' Sure. It s been going on about
half an hour,", said the box office
j man.
"Well, that’s queer; I've been sit
ting in there alone for quite a while
and I’ve seen no one act vet."
She had mistaken the largo foyer
I for the theater.
The following story la recalled by
I a local theatrical man ;
"Othello", was billed to play in an
Eastern city in 1JMHI. when consider
able of a fuss was on over the piracy
' of plays.
"You su> > ou arc the manager of
i this Othello company.'' said H:o
house owner,
"Yes. T hav«- authority to transact
all business for the firm," replied the
showman.
"Well, i'll let you play m\ house
if you can give me a written per-
! mission from the author."
Rijl Shakespeare having been dead
many, many years, the show official
was unable to comply with the re
quest. He finally told the owner that
h.- had not heard from Bill In some
time, and after much argument suc
ceeded in convincing him that he was
not violating the copyright law. and
the play went on.
Only the other day one of our man
agers received the following letter:
.Manager;
"Please send me two scats.
"Very truly yours.
Enclosed find $10; return change."
TIp* writer did not state what
show he wanted the seats for, the
date or the location desired.
Emphasizing the fact that a good
box office man must be a mind read
er and have an unlimited imagina
tion.

Sculptured “Bather”
Is Given Real Bath
Spectators in Museum Watch
Nymph’s Ears Rubbed and Her
Face Sponged Clean.
NEW YORK. April Jo.—“The
Bather" in the Metropolitan museum
of art has had a real bath. and
looked quite fresh and nice to-day.
There were no prudes present, at
least in the gallery, where this figure
of a nude woman, by the sculptor
Edmond Stew ardson, is exhibited.
Instead of beating a retreat the spec
tators gathered closer.
All unconcerned, an employee work
ed away on the white marble statue
w ith a sponge from a stepladder. Even
a statue can get dusty now and then,
he explained, and therefore. the
need of the polishing. There was
much laughter, however when he
gave the nymph's ears a good rub
bing and sponged her face.
Tt required half an hour foi "The
Bather" to get her bath.

Plumeless Hats Win

Tyrant Man Blamed for "Murderous
Millinery** by Speaker at London
Exhibit.
Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
LONDON, April 26.—Featherless
hats provided one of the features of
the exhibition and conference in Lon -
don for the purpoes of bringing to
gether societies and individuals inter
ested in the suppression of cruelty
to animals.
The millinery exhibits are intended
to prove that women’s hats may be
both beautiful and fashionable with
out the aid of feathers and plumes,
the plucking of which, it is said,
causes unnecessary pain to the hirtls.
A hat with a large plume made of
grasses, stiffened and colored. won
geneva approval from fashion ex
perts. Ribbons played a great part
in t * trimmings.
M i. s<trah Grand, first conference,
i. * -; i ••it:, the question of "murder
ous millinery." Man. she said, was
.> the bottom «*f the whole mischief.

“Twice Giblets" New
Order at Quick Lunch.
In one of those lunch rooms where
you get a platter and order your I
meal, acting as your own waiter, the
manager is a woman. She sits just
inside the kitchen at a window from
which she relays the orders bawled
to her by two young men who stand
at the counter where they wait upon
customers.
A popular dish on the bill of fa *
yesterday was chicken giblets and it
was directly responsible for a small
spat and the promulgation of a new
rule in the restaurant in question.
At noon there were four or five
persons at the counter clamoring to
be waited upon. The first order re
layed to the kitchen was “chicken
giblets.” The manager (woman, you
understand) relayed it thus: “Chick
en giblets, one." And the chef, who
ever it was, sung out, “Chicken gib
lets, one," Just like an Alpine echo.
Two men who came in together
both wanted giblets, so the young
man at the counter sung out “chick
en giblets, two.” The manager and
chef both thought lie meant "chick
en giblets, too," and only one order
was prepared. When it came out,
of course, there was a protest from
the customers, backed up by the man
behind the counter.
"We wanted two orders," thej said.
"That’s what I ordered,” said the
counter man.
And quite a wrangle ensued. The
upshot of the matter was that Miss
Manager (or Mrs. as It happens to
be) issued an edict that in future
when an order of chicken giblets for
two is wanted it shall be given thus-
ly: "Twice giblets."
That’s plain enough.
Country Folks Blockade
Sidewalk on Peachtree.
Curiosity on the part of a bunc h
of country folks who were in town
yesterday caused a young blockade
on Peachtree at Marietta and nearly
resulted in action on the part of the
truffle, officer at Five Points. These
folks had come to town to see the}
sights. That was evident, and they
did not purpose missing anything 1
that was free.
One of them—a girl—spied a queer
sign in a window of a shop and she
must needs see it at closer range.
She informed her escort of her de
sire and he was perfectly willing to
gratify her curiosity—and his own.
The word was also communicated to
others of the party and in a few mo
ments hurrying pedestrians on the
street found themselves up against
a bulwark of gaping rusticity.
The stream of humanity whi.’h
flows along this main artery of th -
city eddied out into the street and
there was a great rubbering of necks
to see what was the cause for th*s
unusual crowding at the point.
Aw. shucks." said the girl who
was the cause of the blockade, af*er
she had read the sign, “hit ain’t
nothin’ but er advertisement an’ 1
didn’t believe ti word of hit."
Me nuther," echoed her swain,,
and the whole party hacked out into |
the street and started off on another i
tack.
TOO LAVISH
"What has become of the new fur
nace man?"
"I had to get rid of him in a Hur
ry." responded the owner of tin*
apartment house. "T found he. used
to stoke on an Atlantic finer, and he
was too enthusiastic about keeping
up speed."-—Pittsburg Post.

TECH SCRUBS DO BATTLE
WITH GEORGIA TO-MORROW
The Tech scrub baseball team will
play the University of Georgia scrub
team in Athens to-morrow. This
should be a rattling good game, as
both teams are about up to varsity
standard and are hot rivals.
These two teams played at the Tech
fiats last Saturday, and the Red and
Black got the big end of the score,
defeating the Baby Jackets by a score
of 2 to 1. It was a good game, and
the winning run was made in the last
Inning.
The Tech team will return Satur
day afternoon.

Mitchell 1913
(~)NEof the important features in the Mitchell car for 1913
is the long-stroke, T-head motor; and the most important point
about the motor, aside from perfect materials and construction, is the
length of the stroke. *
We make our motors with 6- and 7-inch stroke; long enough for the highest efficiency in
power and flexibility; and not too long. Everybody who knows anything about it knows that
long stroke is best; but “long” doesn’t always mean long enough; we are willing to say
exactly what it means in the Mitchell; 6 and 7 inches.
There are plenty of other good things to say for the motor; the stroke is not only
long, but it’s powefful; it takes the car along over any sort of a road. The Mitchell
1913 is built to keep going; it’s a car for the man who can’t afford to make a mistake.
Ixtrig wheel base; all moving parts enclosed; every moving part gear driven; long-stroke,
T-head motor; 36-in. wheels; tapered spokes; Mitchell special seven-eighths elliptical
springs; left side drive; center control; electric self-starter; complete electric lighting system,
silk mohair top; ventilating windshield; Firestone demountable rims; Jones speedometer;
Bosch ignition; Timken front axle bearings; Turkish trimming.
Now, think of something,[if you can, that is good and isn’t on a Mitchell car.
