Maybe it was because Miss Jewel Shockley had been a principal in a jnaw&y marriage before; maybe it a as just because she felt that this j me she was safely launched on the matrimonial sea with a life-long I friend as sailing partner. Anyway, Mrs. Roy Robinson—for- I nierly Miss Shockley—was back at work Monday morning,* after her elopement and marriage Sunday aft ernoon at the hoTne of a friend, Mrs. I Graham, on Garnett street. I This time I believe it’s all for the est Mrs. B. K. Shockley, the moth- I . r. said Monday morning. “Roy had known my daughter since she was a baby. Lots of time the little girl | sat on his knee; he Is several years . Ider than she. and at first regarded her in a sort of patronizing and pro jective manner. Eloped With Dashing Fellow. But later he came to love her, and II know she loved him. That was why l never could understand why Jewel ran away and married the first time was Herman DeArmond, a hand some, dashing sort of fellow; a Cana- I dian who worked in the same office l she did, the Western Union’s main of- j lice, where she is address clerk.” It seems her first runaway venture | n matrimony, undertaken when she was 16, against the wishes of her family resulted unhappily.

NEW YORK, Dec. 22.—Mme. Anna Pavlowa, the incomparable Russian dancer, has had. "in one little after noon, one of her most dazzling tri umphs and two of the most distress ing experiences of her life. M. Emi 1 Dandre, stage manager for the danseuse and chief figure in that romantic mystery of her recall to Russia during the investigation of vanished railroad funds, had a diffi culty with a deputy sheriff on the stage of the Metropolitan Opera House that threatened to disrupt the performance. Under nervous strain from this al- tercation, involving the man who was once said to have spent vast appro priations to gratify her whims, Mme. Pavlowa attended a "Russian the Dansant” in the foyer after the Metropolitan matinee and was ac tually hissed by a New York society audience after she had declined to dance again. M. Dandre was directing the per formance when the deputy forced his way upon the stage and thrust pa pers in his hands. He became furious, according to witnesses, and the ex citement attracted the attention of the danseuse, who was then execut ing one of her most wonderful dances. The matter was adjusted when M. Dandre paid 1250 cash bond to ap pear in an action which had been brought against him. The performance went on. The Metropolitan was packed to the roof. The audience was thrilled to enthusi asm by the dames. People who had not intended to wait for the Dansant lingered in the foyer, discussing eagerly the work of the artist. Hundreds of others came in. There was a dollar extra charge to attend The Dansant. They waited until about 6 o’clock. Then Aim©. Pavlowa ap peared. She was not in dancing cos tume, but in a splendid court dress and was accompanied by many of the company. Finally one of the managers ex plained to Pavlowa that all the eager people were waiting to see her dance. Pavlowa, who had been sitting quietly and demurely, a sweet smile on her face and seemingly taking an intelligent interest in being bored, at once changed. Her eyes blazing fiercely at her interrogator, she rose and said haughtily: “I dance on the stage of the Metro politan Opera House? I have danced for charity all afternoon, and now they expect me to dance here. Mon Dieu! do they think I am a cabaret darner?” and w-ith these parting re marks she left, followed by her suite. The crowd of men, women and girls jegan to hiss and continued until she had disappeared from sight. Once Pavlowa turned back, and if looks could have injured, some would have suffered. She threw' a look of disgust at the disappointed crowd, some of which began to demand restitution of the extra dollar.

The "request” of Mayor Woodward came to them Monday as a bolt out of a clear sky. Managers Taken Unawares. None of the managers was pre pared to say what he would do in view of the attitude of the Mayor. Some were inclined to think that the Mayor should have given them a lit tle more warning. Others were of the opinion that it was a direct in terference with the customary Joy ous way of observing the holiday. The near-beer saloons are closed by the law. No one may go in or out of them during the day. The locket* clubs are not included in this strict, regulation. They are not, in fact, mentioned at all, and it is not likely that the Mayor's suggestion will be followed in all of them. The Mayor’s proclamation gives the children the right to fire the smalt fireworks, but Insists that there shall be no firing of the cannon crackers and other explosives. He asks th* people of Atlanta that the day be ob served ir* conformity with its signifi cance and not in boisterous and drunken revelry. Mayor's Proclamation. Here is his message in full: To the People of Atlanta: Thursday next, the 25th day of December, being the birthday of Christ, our Savior, should be be- fittingly observed in all Christian nations, and saying beflttingly does not mean to be observed in a bacchanalian manner, but should be observed In a manner beflttingly to the Christian re ligion. It is earnestly to be hoped that the day will pass off in a quiet fend orderly manner, void of any boisterous or unseemly conduct. The law does not allow the burning of any kind of fireworks within the incorporate limits of the city of Atlanta, without pe* - missi >.i in writing from the May or. The law' does not permit the disc .urge o i firearms within the city limits at any time. It is therefore ordered that the use of firearms and large firecrackers that produce heavy explosion b© prohibited entirely. Small fire crackers and such fireworks as are used around residences will be permitted for the benefit of the children. The police department will see that this order is strict ly enforced. Under the provisions of section 1651 of the City Code all near beer saloons or places In which near-beer is licensed to be sold shall be closed on every Christ mas Day, and the doors thereof shall not be opened for any pur pose, nor shall any person pass in or out of same on that day. While the law Is silent as regards lock er clubs closing on Christmas Day, yet I officially request every locker club in the city to close on that day in order that the day may be thoroughly and properly observed. Respectfully, J. G. WOODWARD. Mayor, ,
