SHOW-NE DRESS

Newest Paris Style Is to Wear as
Little as Possible and That
Transparent.
Special Gable to Tn

Special Gable TO The Atlanta Georgian.
PARIS, June 2s.-"The most daring
in the past 100 years" was the way
the summer styles of women's dress
for 1918 were described to-day. The
newspapers are printing columns of
comment, in addition to many let
ters of protest, against the "immod-
est" and immoral" styles.
The latest modes are designed to
show as much of the wearer S pos
sible. In addition to the slashe6
skirts, extreme decollete and sleeve
less waists, gowns are being made
from diaphanous materials. Little
or nothing is worn under these trans
parent dresses.
Corsets are out of date. Appar-
emily no fashionable woman wears
them any longer. The majority OF
bOdices noted at the Auteuil track
did not reach more than a few inches
above the waistline, and those few
inches were filled in with fiesh-col-
ored chiffon, so that IL would appear
that the wearer was adorned with
gown of the most aggravated decol-
lete.
Petticoats also have gone out Of
date. Those who follow the fashions
say none was seen at Auteuil. Many
women have adopted the style Of
wearing tights and dresses slashed
far above the knee. Some of the
tights were flesh cOlOred others were
of brilliant hues in order to attract
attention.
Another new fashion is to adorn
the stockings with real Jewels and
real flowers.

MRS. STETSON DECLARES
MRS. EDDY, DIVINE, STILL
RULES SCIENTIST CHURCH

NEW YORK, June 28.-In a re-
markable statement to-day Mrs. Au-
gusta Stetson, founder of the first
Christian Science church in this city,
denied she is seeking to succeed Mrs.
Baker G. Eddy, and declared that Mrs.
Eddy, like Jesus Christ, did not die as
other mortals die, but passed into a
spiritual life and still rules as the head
Of the universal church.
Mrs. Stetson claims to be the spirit
ual head of the branch church, but
says Mrs. Eddy is rising to a final
demonstration of her teachings that
there is no death.
The statement follows the recent
publication of a book by Mrs. Stet-
son, called "reminiscences, Sermons
and Correspondence" which oppo-
nents of Mrs. Stetson say will pave
the way for a formal declaration OF
leadership
Mre. Stetson, who was excommu-
nicated from the Christian Science
church because OF a dispute over To-
cal leadership, said:

the same as they have always been

FIGHT FOR
ALABAMA PAVING
Property Owners Declare That
the Street Never Has Had
Any Improvements.

A strong fight for the repaving of
East Alabama Street, between White
hall Street and Central Avenue. one
of the busiest thoroughfares of the
city, was begun Saturday with a pc
tition addressed the Mayor and Coun-
ell. 1t reads. in part:
1--WE, the undersigned citizens and
property owners on East Alabama
Street, between Whitehall Street and
Central Avenue, respectfully petition
your honorable body to repave this
street for the two blocks mentioned
as early as possible
I'VE desire to call your attention 10
the face that these two blocks are
now paved with the original belgian
blocks and the street is in a very bad
condition and is a hindrance 10 traf-
fic. We further wish to call your at
tention to the fact that these two
blocks never have had any improve
ments or asked for any before this
time.
In the very near future the Louis
vile and Nashville terminals will be
completed, and all of the wholesa e
produce houses will be located in this
section, and traffic necessarily will be
increased; therefore, with the present
conditions existing, it Will be almost
impossible to take care of same.
We suggest that inasmuCh as thera
is steep grade between Whitehall
and Pryor Streets, that this portion
of the street be repaved with brick,
and the block between Pryor Street
and Central Avenue be repaved with
wood block"
