By CHARLES HENRY MELTZER. Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian. PARIS. April 25.—The tln-HH re- hearaal of •‘Panurge," the first of three of the posthumous works of Massenet which may he heard here, took place at the Gaiete Lyrlique with pronounced success. This charming and effective little opeia is made in the very spirit of Rabelais, who inspired both the composer and his librettists. Although from end to end the op posite of serious, it is marked by Massenet's art and ingenuity. Light to a fault at times, often indeed closer in style to operetta than real opera, it is melodious, piquant, gay and full of grace. Among the numbers In the score which were most liked, and rightly liked, to-day 1 may mention the in- troduction of the first act, an ex quisite romance for Panurge, of the same family as the “Legend of the Sagebrush,” In "Le Jongleur;” an other song for Tanurge in the second act; all the music of I-re re Jean and Pantagruel; the choruses of nuns and monks, and an intermezzo for violin, solo and orchestra, which may prove as popular as the “Thais” medita tion. "Panurge" was admirably inter preted by Marcoux in the title role, by Martlnelll as Puntagurue and by a tenor named (filly as Frere Jean. The scene in which Colombe, the hero’s wife, confesses her pretended infidelities to Panurge, who is dis guised as a monk, made a great hit. Lucy Arbell was the wife Colombe. Highbrows Fail to Uplift Shop Girls College Women Fail in Their Work Because They Aren’t Good Mixers. ALBANY, April 25.—The Wagner Factory Investigating Committee has withdrawn from department vtores In New York and several other iarge cities its quota of college girls who have been observing tile manner in which shop girls live with a view to determining whether low wages is responsible for,the moral downfall of many. The experiment has not produced very satisfactory results so far. So far as* can be learned here the so-called “highbrow” college grad uates who soem to have failed be cause they aren’t “good mixers” are to bo supplanted by women of less education but more practical turn of mind who will be better equipped to meet the shop girls on equal terms and more easily win their confidence. SILK HAT HARRY’S DIVORCE SUIT Then Mr. Kelly Appeared Copyright, 1913, International Xewa Service. By Tad ■■■ill licit OF THE Funny things happen in the hear ing of the theater box office man in the course of a day’s labor. And some are as pitiful as they are humorous. The other night an elderly woman purchased a ticket at one of our 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 tin* show started yet?” “Sure. It’s been going on about Half an hour,” said the box office man. “Well, that's queer; I’ve been sit ting in there alone for quite a while and I’ve seen no one act yet.” She had mistaken the large foyer for the theater. The following story is recalled by a local theatrical man: “Othello” was hilled to play in an Eastern city in 1906, when consider able of a fuss was on over the piracy of plays. managi ’ said r of the to transact ’ replied the HIS CHANCES. “The doctor says if he lasts till morning VII ’avo some ’ope, but if ’e don’t, the doctor says ’e give ’im up.”—London Tatler.

Sculptured “Bather" Is Given Real Bath Spectators in Museum Watch Nymph’s Ears Rubbed and Her Face Sponged Clean. NEW YORK. April 26. 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 Stewardson, is exhibited. Instead of beating a retreat the spec tators gathered closer. All unconcerned, an employee work ed away on the white marble statue with a sponge from a stepladder. Even i statue can get dusty now and then, he explained, and therefore, the need of the polishing. There was much laughter, however when lie gave the nymph’s ears a good rub bing and sponged her face. It required half an hour for “The Rather” to get her bath. Baseball Summaries. SOUTHERN LEAGUE. Games To-day. Chattanooga at Atlanta; Ponce De Leon. Game called at 2:30 o’clock.

Featherless hats provided one of the features of the exhibition and conference in Lon don for the purports 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 birds. A hat with a large plume made of grasses, stiffened and colored, won general approval from fashion ex perts. Ribbons played a great part in the trimmings. .Mine. Sarah Grand, first conference, dealt with the question of "murder ous millinery." Man, she said, was at the bottom of the whole mischief. Selina's Samples By MINNA IRVING S ELINA took a train to town To buy herself a summer gown She trudged along from store to store. Until her feet were hot and sore. Collecting samples. Her hands were full of silken sTtips. Her pockets bulged with satin strips: Her bag with lawn and cloth was crammed. Yet in the crowd she madly jammed, Collecting samples. P INK, blue, and purple, brown and green And all the varied shades be tween, Red, yellow, white, and black and grav. And still she traveled on her way. Collecting samples. Design** of rings, and checks and dots. Stripes, wreaths and silver dollar spots, Or plain with borders on the side; But on she sped unsatisfied, Collecting samples. “Twice Giblets” New Order at Quick Lunch. In one of those lunch rooms where you get a platter and order your meal, acting as your own waiter, the manager is a woman. She sits just inside tire 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 fare yesterday was chicken giblets and it was directly responsible for a small spat and the promulgation of a new rule In the restaurant in quesiion. 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 he meant “chick en gfblets, 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,” they 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- lv: “Twice giblets." That's plain enough. Country Folks Blockade Sidewalk on Peachtree. Curiosity on the part of a bunch 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 traffic officer at Five Points. These folks had come to town to see the sights. That was evident, and they did not purpose missing anything 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 \Yhi i flows along this main artery of the 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 f er she had read the sign, "hit ain't nothin’ but er advertisement an’ 1 didn't believe a word of hit.” "Me nuther,” echoed her swain, and tiie whole party backed out into the street and started off on another tack.
