Her Majesty had been viewing the
collection of Silhouettes owned by
Francis Wellesley, t>he Duke of Wel

seum. Weymer Jay Mills, the Ameri
ca#! author of “Caroline of Court-

written a book descriptive of the
Wellesley collection, In which he de
scribes, bitingly, the lethargic posi
tion which the more modern English
sovereigns have assumed towards an.
‘‘What do these occupants of
thrones think as they pose over and
over again in regal attitudes?” writes
Mr. Mills. “Real lovers of the arts
might well wish Minerva would lend
these royal folk her eyes and show
to them the way to make a reign
notable for encouragement to genius.
"Although much has been written
about the mediocre mind and tastes
of George III, he was the only mon
arch in England since the Stuarts
who held out anything like a we!-

dull man, but literati ought to revere
I his name.
“He found time to give them pri

an order which could not be secured
by backstairs' charities and tickling
of exalted vanities.”
Griffin Is Aroused
By Fire Truck Deal
GRIFFIN, GA., May 22.—Citizens
anti ta;-j>ayers of Griffin are to-day
protesting the purchase of an auto
Are truck by the City Council despite
the opposition of Mayor J. H. Smith.
About four months ago the plan to
purchase such a machine was first
proposed. It has been a bone of con
tention since. Now that the ma
chine is to be delivered to-day the
affair has been reopened.
The taxpayers are objecting to the
plan of Council to make a cash pay
ment for the truck, which will de
plete the surplus in the city treas
ury. It is .claimed that all city im
provements will be at a standstill and
obligations of the city that fall due in
a month or so will be unprovided for.
Citizens are backing up the Mayor
in his fight.

ITCHING ECZEMA
Too Terrible to Describe. Tor
tured by It Since Childhood.
Washington. IV C., Feb. 12, 191%.
"Since early childhood I have suf
fered untold misery with that ter
rible torture eczema, on the backs
»f my, hands and fingers. 1 have
spent hundreds of dollars on treat
ments and consultations and
bought every known remedy, but !
couid not be cured. My hands
would crack open, ofttimes show
ing the 'ligaments, and the skin
would stick to the inside of my
gloves.
“The itching was too terrible to
describe and sleep was possible
only when in an exhausted condi
tion. This winter 1 had given up
all hope of ever finding a cure,
when I heard of Resinol and pur
chased some. The results were
perfectly marvelous. I used three
jars of Resinol Ointment, with
Resinol Soap, and my hands are
perfectly cured- I can not find
words strong enough to praise
Resinol and what it lias done for
me. I wish everyone needing re
lief from that stubborn and tor
turing affliction would give Res
inol a trial. I shall be pleased to
answer any inquiries.” (Signed)

‘Ohio Aided Wilson
Only to Beat Harmon’
CINCINNATI, May 22.—The Cin
cinnati Times-Star, owned and edited
by ex-President Taft’s brother,
Charles P. Taft, editorially says, un
der the caption, “Federal Patronage
in Ohio:’ ”
"There is no doubt that the bet
ter elements of the Democratic party
in Ohio supported former Governor
Harmon for the Presidential nomina
tion. Professional lobbyists had no
use for the man who assisted in driv
ing them from the State house at
Columbus. These men supported
Woodrow Wilson, not because of any
love for him, but because he was the
most convenient opponent of Har
mon. They know of no more grace
ful compensation than the slices of
pie that must soon be handed out.”

To Retain Privacy
REDLANDS, CAL.. May 22.—
Miss Olivia Eggleston Phelps Stokes
of New York, widely known for her
gifts to Yale and Columbia and for
other public benefactions, has a strong
desire for privacy.
Miss Stokes has just won a fight to
keep her winter estate at Oaklands
exclusive. A real estate firm, it is
reported, bought an adjoining tract
and laid out a bungalow townsite at
$6.00 a lot. Miss Stokes got busy, but
the price of lots advanced to $1,100,
it is said, before she had bought the
last one and thus secured the privacy
so much prized.

COLUMBUS. GA., May 22.—The
trial of the case of Mrs. May Rad-
cliff. charged with killing her hus
band, George M. Radcliff. a Columbus
merchant, which was to have taken

sanity.

thorough test of her sanity made be
fore entering upon trial.
E. Otis Smith, Who Expected to
Broil Here, to Adopt Gate
City if Wife Is Willing.
If his wife will let him, E. Otis
Smith will spend every winter in At
lanta in the future.
Mr. Smith’s home is in Sitka, Alas
ka, and he is here to attend the
Northern Assembly of the Presbyte
rian Church.
He said Thursday that he came
down here in the spirit of a martyr.
He expected to boil, blister and fry <n
the terrible heat of the Southland. He
expected to go back to his wife a
mere wraith—and when one considers
Mr. Smith’s substantial type of archi
tecture, the great transformation
there would be is apparent. He ex
pected to bear his martyrdom in si
lence, only hoping that the end would
not. come be fore he was able to get
back to the cool breezes of Alaska.
Likes Climate and City.
“But,” sspd he, “your climate is not
so bad after all. I'm delighted with
your climate and with your people.
“My wife came with me as far as
Chicago. ‘You can go on down there
to Atlanta and blister,’ she said, ‘but
I'm going to stay here.’ That’s where
I’ve got the joke on her, for the
weather in Chicago has been just
about as hot as it has been here. And
when it’s hot in Chicago it's HOT.
They don’t have the cooling night
breezes very often that you have here.
The people just lie and swelter, and
In the day time they drop here and
there about the city from heat pros
trations.
Sitka and Atlanta Maligned.
“Atlanta and Sitka have been much
maligned. People represent Sitka as
a place where the mercury is always
about 40 degrees below zero, and
those who don't know anything about
Atlanta say that the heat is unbear
able down here. I just want to hear
anyone making either of these state
ments in my presence.
“As a matter of fact, we have very
little zero weather in Sitka, and you
might not believe it if I told you that
we had to go out of the city for part
of our summer’s^supply of ice last
year.
“I'm going to come down here every
winter in the future—that is, if my
wife looks favorably on the plan. Sno
casts the deciding vote on every ques
tion in our family. If l can just ger
her down here once. I know it will
be in the affirmative.”

Doubt as to Whether New York
Yacht Club Framed Acceptance
of Challenge.
NEW YORK, ^May 2-£—Has the
New York Yacht Club formally ac
cepted the challenge*for a yacht race
with the English challenger in Sep
tember, 1914, or was tlfe acceptance
cabled to Sir Thomas Lipton on
Tuesday merely the , act of some
Joker? ;
This is the question agitating
yachting circles to-day, and no one
connected with the management of
the New York Yacht Club will clear
the mystery.
When London flashed the news to
New York that the Lipton defy had
been accepted, New York Yacht Club
officials were at once approached for
further details. They expressed great
astonishment over the news of the ac
ceptance.
Asked point blank if the c hallenge
had been accepted, they refused to

Delirium of the Dance Has Been
Transferred to Garments by
London Tailors.
LONDON, May 22—The tailors for
men are happy in the return to fash
ion of the young man, which they
ascribe to the present craze for danc
ing, not suited as a special accom
plishment of the middle-aged male.
For several years the man of the
hour has been the one in Parliament,
where shockingly bad taste in attire
has come to prevail. But with the re
turn of the debonnair youth to the
ceriter of society.’s stage, there has
been an instant revival of attention
to the niceties of masculine dressing.
The university “swells” at Oxford
and Cambridge are setting the new
styles this y^ar, which the matinee
idols at the London theaters hastily
adopt, and they have now been fol
lowed by numerous young club men,
who promenade Pall Mall and Pic
cadilly on week days and display their
sartorial charms at the church pa
rade in Hyde Park on Sundays.
The new young man Is a resurrect
ed very ancient one, in that he has
again discovered he has a waist. One
imagines that the corset makers for
the gilded youth of the Continent,
where men have never forgotten their
waists, must be equally rejoicing with
the English tailors. The latest coats
fit snugly to the gracefully tapering
form, as beautifully outlined as a
woman’s. Even overcoats are tight,
the comfortable ones with pleated
skirts and a band at the back having
become passe.
“Dreams” in Morning Coats.
The morning coats are truly
“dreams,” cut open in front with
low lapels and without buttons. Th
coats do not quite meet in front and
are fastened by a single detached sil
ken link which connects the single
pair of buttonholes. Some sporting
young men have appeared wearing
coats with a link of gold connected
by jewelled or enamelled buttons, but
the tailors frown upon that extrav
agance.
The erstwhile fashionable spats, an
inevitable mark of middle-age * even
in white and gaudy colors, are now
relegated tp the past. Low shoes
are fashionable again, worVi with
socks of delicate brown or gray, em
broidered in all sorts of extraordi
nary designs, such as little trees with
.spreading branches, pots of gay flow
ers, and often charming feminine
heads.
The young man’s new trousers are
a return of the old-time “peg-top."
They are fuller at the thighs and
narrower at the ankles, a parody up
on the feminine fashions of the mo
ment ip, skirts. The trousers are
worn turned up and are said to be
very uncomfortable in sitting down
and very difficult to crease.
The waistcoat is either of the same
doth as the suit or of brilliant hue.
It is cut low at the top. displaying a
brave array of shirt and a vivid tie
which modestly matches or boldly
contrasts with the handkerchief in the
outside breast pocket, of the coat.
The ciignitaries responsible for cor
rect masculine dress at court have
also been aroused this season, their
new severity fitting in with the re
turn of Beau Brummel to the prome
nade.
These officials have had a regularly
accredited court tailor in the ante
rooms when the men gather for in
troduction to the King. They have
been instrusted carefully to scrutinize
the garments of those desiring to en
ter the State Chamber and pay their
respects to the sovereign.
Cefalu, Back, Denies
That He Disappeared
Samuel Cefalu. formerly of the firm
of Chelena & Cefalu, at 64 North
Pryor Street, has returned to Atlanta
after an absence of several weeks.
Mr. Cefalu declares he went to New
Orleans on a business trip. He em
phatically denied the report that he
drew $600 from a bank and disap
peared. He says his trip to New Or
leans was of a purely business naturv*,
and that he has no intention of leav
ing Atlanta.
