New NecR-wear
No woman < an afford this spring
to overlook the displays of new neck
wear. Indeed, no woman will want
to overlook them. But what is us
ually considered somewhat of an ex
travagance is nothing less than econ
omy this year. The woman of limited
wardrobe is the very one who can af
ford to indulge in, for her perhaps, an
unprecedented neckwear orgy. The
merest tyro at needlework cn.n, with
the aid of the new collars, frills,
stocks, jabots, and guimpea. trans
form her old waists into perfectly
presentable and decidedly becoming
features of her wardrobe.
An old, worn, transparent yoke and
collar must go by the board, to oe
sure, but it will be literally good rid
dance to what has become bad rub
bish. If the yoke was a shallow one
1t can be supplanted entirely by one
of the wide, tlat collars to which are
attached the long plisse ends. Wats's
which continue to the neck may be
shorn of their collars, and have i
transparent lace stock, with a plisse
jabot in place. Any woman of ordi
nary sense can effect these changes.
The. Tanaora
The latest fn ah 1 enable profile is
the Tan&gra figure, the costume for
achieving this outline being thus de
scribed: Brocaded soft silk, with
crepe, canton or satin background, is
being used to drape the figure with
perfect disregard as to style lines*
Such a gown is portrayed here, mak
ing the wearer look like a Tanagra
figurine vested with life. Black bro
caded silk In one of the new weaves
flowered with a large but indistinct
pattern is apparently laid over the
figure and fitted by the few' soft folds
Into which the material drops, fitting
to the contour of the figure. A slash
makes walking possible, anti the up
per part falls into the lines of the
new gi rdle of disproportionate size
'that in appearing on many new Paris
models. A bolero of black chiffon is
fitted in deeply laid folds, with curved
outline accented by round dull black
buttons. Transparent sleeves uf the
chiffon draped into a bishop sharped
cuff vei 1 the arms, and the neck,
slightly decollete, reveals a touch of
white.

Pronounced BIX
By MIGNON HALL.
East Lake is wide awuke to pic
nics and out-door times these days.
Everybody has just naturally caught
the apring-time ?*pirit, even down
to uncle and the baby. Games and
things are on at full swing, and the
woods and fields around the Country
Club arc decorated from morning to
night with folks and children, girls
and boys, and everybody else. It's
a regular summer resort.
Father has already begun to play
golf in a resurrected seersucker of
last summer a trifle tight. But in
the Joyous enthusiasm of it all the
looks of it. as usual, aren’t worry
ing him any. That's his wife’s sor
row.
This isn't referring in any manner
to the golfers who may be seen prac
tically every day on the links and
who are coming out in great style this
year. George W. Adair is still wear
ing the title of champion in score
and love of the game, with Col. Ed
Brown running him a close second.
It has been whispered around that
"the Colonel” has said that he can
low when it comes to playing, but
that isn’t on authority.
Other Enthusiasts.
Dowdell Brown, who is Just as good
at tennis as he is at golf. Winter
Alfriend. Milton Dargan and S. Y.
Tupper are also going in for the
sport, as well as W. P. Gentry, who
intends to move out where he’ll be
in 010**0 proximity to the fields about
the first of June or a littele later.
He’s building a brand spanking new-
house about a quarter of a mile away
from the club.
Some of the golfers who are seen
on the links almost daily are: Dr.
John B. Derr. John Grant, Dr. Wil
liam S. Goldsmith. W. R. Tichenor,
John H. Porter, president of the club;
E. R. Austin, J. S. Brown, Lowry
Arnold, Reuben Arnold. Scott Hud
son and R. P. Jones. Other leading
lights of the game are: W. Joe Til-
son, better known to the “boys” as
“Joe”, whose principal characteristic
after being a golfer is being a Bull
Moose, and Thomas B. Paine, East
Lake’s Mayor and general-ln-chief.
A While th*» crowds go out presum
ably for golf, the chef at the club
hinted that the chicken and gravy
was responsible for some of the con
verts lie could name.
AAiong the women and girls spend
ing a large p^rt of their mornings
at the lake now are. Mrs. Thomas B.
Paine and Mrs. R. P. Jones, who
live near by, as well as Miss Lida
Nash, Miss Priscilla Patton and Miss
Margaret Moore, who have groups of
friends out to be their guests every
little while.
Mrs. George S. Tigner, whose
husband's tall form is seen
often on the links, was out one day
this week with several friends en
joying golf at second hand. She came
in dead-tired, at the end of an event
ful day. and dropped Into a big ve
randa chair.
Weary Walk Around Links.
“I’ve been chasing Dr. Tigner til:
I’m worn out,” she told the folks.
“We were all so interested in watch
ing the game. Rut I tell you”—with
a sigh-t-“it’s strenuous work when
you hqppen to be wearing French
heel slippers'.”
Other girls who’are frequent visi
tors! to the club are, Miss Helen Thorn-
and Miss Laura.Cole, both excellent
swimmers; Miss Van -McKinnon, a
Chattanooga girl and friend of Miss
Thorn who has only made her home
in Atlanta for the past year; Miss
Nellie Kiser Stewart, Misses Eliza
beth and Edith Dunson, and scores
of others.
Cold weather and thick clothes were
all right for the first six months or
so they lasted—but enough is a
plenty. Getting into light garments
after the winter time is like gradua
tion day or turning butterfly all in a
second. Tt’s fine to be out—free!
Even the athletic fat man has felt
the summertime -call, and has begun
to ornament the club premises with
his genial personality and ample pro
portions. The commonest highlight
on the general panorama is his damp
handkerchief displayed, flag-fashion,
from his back hip pocket.
Tho lake is being disturbed by early
swimmers. It's a little cold when
you first wade in and the water clones
up around you. but you’re all right
after you take the first twenty strokes
heading out for the other side and
back again—if you can.
The golf links and the tennis courts
are looking spick-and-span, and the
big porches of the club have received
a new garment of light blue paint,
though it’s too soft to be walked on
yet. Everywhere the flowers are
wide-eyed or opening, and over the
slopes of the big acreage the grass
has come out clean and thick.
Rowing on Lake.
Out in the lake you’ll probably
catch fight of somebody all in white
and a red sweater bent low and hap
py over the oars and fairly making
the water fly as she 9kids across it
in a boat.
The wind out at the lake is strong
any time of the clock now’—but if
the day happens to be a little cold
it’s dandy to sit in the sunshine-—
and just sit there. Occasions a week
or two ago when the weather was
chilly, there was a hlg fire in the
club’s old-fashioned fireplace, and a
crowd of girls found it great to sit
around on the floor in front of It and
tell stories!
But days of that kind are practical
ly gone nowu They’ll soon be buried
end trees planted on the spot. They
were routed when dozens of kiddies
began going out with their nurses
to test the caliber of the East Lake
sand and bring home buckets full to
deposit In the front yard to spade
up at their leisure. Bobby, aged 14,
of whom there are countless hun
dreds. also had something to do with
the routing. For thef past long time
he has been on the spot and ever
present as soon as school let out rev
eling in all the joy of dusty canvas
shoes and “Hi, there, throw her here!
“Hot dog. that’s the stuff!” and other
Special Cable to The American.
PARIS, May 10.—We all heartily
enjoyed the story of how the Kaiser
got the best of the Kaiserin. who has
always refused to have any of her
dresses made in Paris, by making her
a present of a beautiful Paris crea
tion, which attracted universal atten
tion and was greatly adrpired the
first time she wore it.
But those w'ho had expected that
the imperial lady would be angry at
the joke played upon her and read
a well-deserved curtain lecture to her
Lord and Master have been disap
pointed.
For like the sensible woman she is.
the Kaiserin acknowledged the su
periority of the gown over those she
had worn before and she will now fol
low the example of her daughter-in-
law and get all her grand toilettes
made here, so there will be more
commissions for Miss Geraldine Far
rar to execute in the future.
Develops Taste for Pretty Gowns.
But the joke of the Paris gown, I
am told, has had much more far
reaching consequences, which will
tend to change the appearance of
Berlin court functions altogether.
For the Kaiserin. who was former
ly rather indifferent to dress, has sud*
denly developed a decided taste for
pretty gowns and not only does she
Inspect the new gowns of her ladies-
in-waiting most critically, but she is
trying to rob Crown Princess Cecilie
of her reputation of being the best
dressed lady in Berlin.
As she still possesses a very fin f
figure and has much more money at
her disposal than her daughter-in-
law there is every prospect that she
may succeed.
A week or two ago the Kaiserin
discharged one of her older ladles-in-
waiting because she insisted on dres
sing in {he rather dowdy manner, to
which her imperial mistress had never
objected before.
Asks Ambassadress to Study Fashions
After a court function just after
Easter the Kaiserin sent for the wife
of a very wealthy foreign ambassador
and in tht most friendly manner ad
vised her to take a trip to Paris and
pay special attention to Rue de la
Paix.
When the ambassadress asked the
reason why. the Kaiserin explained
to her that somebody had informed
her that she had neglected to return
her greeting when passing her in an
open carriage near the Thiergarten.
but the only reason why she had
been impolite, she said, w$s that she
had not recognized her.
The lady who very well remember
ed the incident and also the fact that
she had Worn a very old dress on
that day took the hint and two days
Inter she arrived in Paris and made
large purchases from several well-
known modistes.
“Lines” of Figure Remain.
Havihg done very little but attend
exhibitions of the new spring modes,
to which I have received cards, al
most ever since Easter, I feel that I
may speak with some authority on
the subject of dress for the next few
months.
Let me say first of all then, that
we have successfully defended "the
line,” if not in its most exaggerat
ed then certainly in its most attrac
tive form. The modistes who had
hoped to bring u% back to the old ug
ly deformities of dress have been
badly defeated by our determination
to remain slim, pretty and healthy.
I am very well aware that some
writers on fashiov have written that
"the line” is dead but this is true only
in as far as we will no longer be
expected to appear like perpendicu
lar streaks without any sign of bust
or hips and f that our skirts are just
a little less narrow than last year
giving more freedom to our limbs,
and slightly draped from the knee
down so as to enable us to display
the very pretty hosiery, which every
well-dressed woman now wears.
