MOTHER APPROVES GIRL’S SECOND ELOPEMENT
S ONLY 20
Wed to “Dashing Fellow” When
16,Girl Repents, Divorces and
Marries First Love.
Maybe It was because Miss Jewel
Shockley had been a principal in a
runaway marriage before; maybe it
was just because she felt that this
t.me she was safely launched on the
matrimonial sea with a life-long
friend as sailing partner.
Anyway, Mrs. Roy Robinson—for
merly Miss Shockley—was back at
work Monday morning, after her
C cement and marriage Sunday aft
ernoon at the home of a friend, Mrs.
Graham, on Garnett street.
This time I believe it’s all for the

But later he came to love her, and
I i know she loved him. Tnat w r as why

• was Herman DeArmond, a hand-
rr, 'lashing sort of fellow; a Cana-
Idian who worked in the same offi s
[‘die did. the Western Union’s main of
fice, 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. DeAr-
■ niond took her to Memphis, and it
I was not long before she returned to
Atlanta and sued him for divorce.
|The decree was granted the first of
‘his month.
Then the boy-and-girl romance,
| rich all the time seems to have been
living through the pain of jealousy
>*n on* side and of disappointment on
p other, came to the surface.
I want you to marry me as soon
as your decree is granted,” young
I Robinson told the girl. And they set
I'he date for January 10.

This time Mrs. Shockley was wili

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! 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 $250 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 dances. 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 Mme. 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:
”1 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
D1eu! do they think I am a cabaret
dancer?” and with these parting re
marks she left, followed by her suite.
The crowd of men, women and girls
began 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 ertra dollar, . . . . .
Una Ernest’and Estelle Miller early
Monday morning while joy-riding in
a cab In the downtown district.
The party was making much noise
when arrested, and the disturbance
did not cease at headquarters.
The Ernest woman, apparently fran
tic at the arrest and the sight of the
prison, suddenly attacked her woman
friend, scratching her face, pulling her
hair, tearing her clothing. Five po
licemen were soon struggling with the
frantic woman, and the station was in
an uproar.
She continued to fight desperately,
and Call Officer Arnold was injured in
the skirmish before she could be re
strained and taken to Grady Hospital.
There she was put under the Influ
ence of sedative and soon was rest
ing quietly.
Smith, who said lie came from Lula, j
Ga. ( and the McMillan woman, who
gave her address as No. 587 Marietta
street, were held to appear in the
Recorder’s Court Monday afternoon.
The Ernest woman said she lived near
Bellwood, on the River car line.
Smith said the party was enjoying
itself In a mild and inoffensive man
ner, and stated that he was amazed at
the arrest. The officers, however, paid
the cab wap as noisy as a band wagon
in a circus parade, and that the com
motion had been heard in several
parts of the city before it finally was
decided to que.i it.

J. A. Eggler, of No. 262 West Four
teenth street, called at police head
quarters Monday morning to see
Chief Beavers. He didn't see the
Chief, because the Chief was busy,
and Mr. Eggler didn't have time to
wait
But Mr. Eggler had time to emit a
few threats. And certain Tech ath
letes running, Jumping, shot-putting
and otherwise exploiting themselves
under the old Gold and White, had
better pay some heed to Mr. Eggler*s
complaint, if they don’t want to in
cur the dire penalties of the law—or,
in default of the law, a thorough
sluicing, spattering, drenching, spray
lng and otherwise soaking from chilly
hydrant water projected by the com
mon or garden variety of hose.
Right on their bare arms and legs.
Mr. Eggler said, fericiously.
States Grievance Pointedly.
“Those Tech boys just keep racing
around through the streets, training
or something,” Mr. Eggler said, “and
why the Milledgeville people don’t
get ’em Is more than I can see.
“I put it to you fair, now—what
man with enough brains in his head
to blow his hat off if they were dy
namite would go running around
loose in a bathing suit this kind of
weather?
“Maybe it isn’t a bathing suit, be
cause they do have shoes on. But it
doesn’t cover nnv more territory than
a bathing suit and looks a heap
worse. The women and girls out In
that neighborhood are awfully shock
ed, and those fool boys keep or
shocking them. (Incidentally most
of the women and girls are of the
class active in Atlanta society.)
“Now, I’m getting tired of having
them shocked, and they’re getting
tired of being shocked.
Promises Cold B*th.
“If the Chief won't do something
to put a. stop to this brand of blame
foolishness, we are just going to
squirt cold water on those bathing
suit affairs with a hose”
Mr. Eggler reckons the water cure
will do the business, but first, be
ing a law-abiding citizen, he seeks
to invoke the constitution of the Uni
ted States, or the State of Georgia, or
the Atlanta ordinance, or whatever
applies to young men running around
In excessive negligee In cold weather
and broad daylight.
So Mr. Eggler will call agnln on
Chief Beavers, who will then decide
what to do.
“Of course, T can’t say now',” the
Chief said. “I haven’t heard the com
plaint formally yet.”

Mayor Woodward Monday of
ficially joined the movement for
a “sane” Christmas celebration
and, in doing so, directed an ex
plicit request to the locker clubs
that they remain closed through
out the day.
Mayor Woodward, In his pro-
nouncement on the subject made pub
lic Monday afternoon, makes it plain
that the “law Is silent as regards
locker clubs closing on Christmas,”
but he "officially requests” that the
locker club aid in the movement to
do away with the revelry that is as
sociated with the day hero by closing
their doors.
Practically every club in Atlanta
treats its members on Christmas
Day to eggnog, Tom and Jerry and
other seasonal drinks. Preparations
have been on foot for days to do the
same thing this year. 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 whai 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 locker
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 nil of them
The Mayor's proclamation gives the
children the right to fire the small
fireworks, but insists that there shall
be no firing of the cannon crackers
and other explosives. He asks the
people of Atlanta that the day be ob
served in 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 cf
December, being the birthday of
Christ, our Savior, should be. be-
flttlngly observed in all Christian
nations, and saying beflttlngly
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 and 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 '»f Atlanta, without pe -
misslw in writing from the May
or. The law does not permit the
dischirge oi firearms within the
city limits at any time. It is
therefore ordered that the use of
firearms and large firecrackers
that produce heavy explosion be
prohibited entirely. Small fire
crackers and such fireworks as
are used around residences will be
permitted for the benefit of the
children. The police departmen*
will see that this order is strict
ly enforced.
Under the provisions of section
1651 of the City Code all near-
beer saloon* or places in which
near-beer is licensed to he 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. k ]
