BY GABY DESLYS.

T UST a few days ago I read a criti-
cism in a newspaper which
y amused me very much. 1t was
about myself, and deplored the fact that
an article l had written on How To
Be Pretty" should be accompanied by a
photograph of myself clothed in a fur
coat with hat covered with aigrettes
The writer of the notice seemed to
think I was personally responsible for
the slaughter of the birds on my hat
and the killing of the animals whose
fur made up my coat.
As l have already said to you before,
it is my business to be pretty, to look
as well as possible; that is part of my
stock in trade. You may not think it
when you look 'at these fluffy pictures
of a girl always dressed in the latest
and newest of frocks, always the der
nier cTi of Fashion. but Gaby Deslys
is a hard working person. To be well
dressed at all times is a task in itself.

people think that God tempers the

also give the same origin to "Cleanli-

The last quoted phrase is an old Eng

the proper and original wording of it
only was intended to point out that if
we can not all be beautiful we can all

word for handsome.

HAKESPEARE is the great source
Of our popular quotations. So
~ many phrases in common use were
first written in his plays that an old
man. who read books after he retired
from business for the first time in his
life. complained, when he made the ac-
quantance Of Shakespeare, that his
works were AL quotations
Here are few Of Shakespeare most
popular phrases: ITO be or not to be-
"a rose by any other name would smell
as sweet" Giving the lie direct"
Sweet are the uses of adversely" "One
touch of nature makes the whole world
kin SO All the worlds a stage, and all
the men and women merely players"
There is a tide in the affairs of men
which, taken at the flood, leads on to
fortune" All that glitters is not gold,'
The course of true love never did run
smooth, Thereby hangs a tale" Age
can not wither, nor custom stale her in
finite variety"
Alexander Pope, the poet who has
made Twicllenham famous, studied the
art Of expressing his thoughts in that
te.se style that impresses the memory.
Among the proyerb-like phrases that
are quoted constantly from Pope's
writings are the following: "The prop
et study of mankind is man." who
shall decide when doctors disagree" "A
atJIe learning is a dangerous thing"
Hope springs eternal in the human
breast, Fools rush in where angels

asked to shoot the deer which had been
bred for the purpose of being shot
down, and which were almost as tame

Mrs. Helen Longstreet for eight
years postmaster at Gainesville, Ga,

CHARTER DEFEAT
PLEA5ES RING
Politicians TiCkIed Over Pres.

Politicians are gleeful to- day over
their success in bringing about what
they consider to be political condi-

charter reforms this year. Except for
Interference by the electorate, Atlanta's
present charter will not be changed so
much as the dotting of an "i'' or the
crossing of a st"
Councilman Charles w. Smiths res
olution consigning the charter Of the
providing for the legislature to submit
councils revamped charter to the peo-
pie is what turned the trick. Mayor
Woodward asserts he will veto the res
olution. There are not enough advo-
Gates Of the measure to pass it over
the mayors veto; and If there were it
is doubtful If the effort would be made,
for the politicians do not want the old
order changed.
The meeting place for the caucus,
for the framing of this program. was
changed from the office of Aldne
Chambers, defeated candidate for the
mayoralty. to Councilman Smiths Of
flee. 1t is said that this change was
the result Of criticisms by charter re-
form leaders. The meeting was held
late Saturday, but until to-day no def
mite details as to how it took place
were made public.
Mayor Woodward declared to-day
that the fight for a reform of Atlanta s
government never would end short of
success, so far as he was concerned
He said it was merely a question OF
getting a vote by the people on the is

More definite plans for a postcard
vote, by all the registered voters in the
city, were made to-day. The charter
leaders will present indisputable evi-
dence of a demand of a majority of the
people for popular election on the
charter matter, they declare.
