Mile. SpineIIi Is on Her Way
to America, and FoIIies Are
Travelling,

Atlanta, it seems, will lose the OPP
portuntty it might have had to view
the most delectable attractions that
the American stage of next season
will offer.
For one thing Nile. Spineln is
coming to America in vaudeville, and
probably to Atlanta. And Mile. Spi-
neli, be it known, is the reigning SEN
sation of Paris, dear discriminating
Paris, because, besides her winsome-
ness and charm, she is said to pos
sess the most artistic and perfectly

Everyone Knows Ziegfeld's Speciality.
And then Ziegfelds Folies already
has started its 1913 tour, with At
lanta booked along the route All
the world and his brother knows that
FlorenZ Ziegfeld is a connoisseur of
feminine beauty. particularly that va
riety Of beauty that is displayed to
best advantage by costume of tights
and abbreviated skirts. In the Fol-
lies of 1913 especially are two young
women, Rena Wandell and Marjorie
Beverley, VINO are said to possess the
most artistic and perfectly shaped
neither limbs in all America.
In the theatrical world the legs of
SpinelH and those of Ziegfeld's Fol-
lies cast have come to be regarded as
contestants for the crown of beauty.
At some time a decision must be made.

are in Atlanta. Atlanta might have

But There's Boynton,
George NJ. Boynton, Of the City
Council of Atlanta, has presented to
that body a resolution asking for an
ordinance prohibiting the appearance
of girls wearing tights or too short or
scant dresses in theaters. The re-
porters who record the news and
views of the Council are ready to
prophesy the passage Of the ordi-
nance. II they are correct, then II
means that Atlanta's most promising
stage features of the 1913 season
might as well be Cancelled.

be an exception-and worthier Amer
leans because of our affection for the
ward. borough, city, county and State
in which we live"
Looked Down on BY All.
Some Of the criticisms of Mr.. Page
in the review of his book follow:
I'VE found that Nicholas Worth
the professed author of the book, was
a man whose environment in the
South had evidently been among per-
sons who were not recognized in that
section as typical-in fact. who had
no social recognition whatever, but
who lived to themselves and were
looked down upon by whites and
blacks alike.
There are scenes in this book that
are so coarse that we will not bring
them into this review. 1t is sufficient
to say that they were used to Witty
the white race.
Nicholas Worth and his kind new
er stood socially high in the South;
he was no gentleman; his associates
were not gentlemen; his antecedents
had defective sense of the differ
ence that exists between right and
wrong.
Nicholas Worth holds Confederate
| veterans in utter contempt and
throughout his book Confederates are
roundly abused, and he also abuses
their organization and other Southern
| patriotic bodies, such as the Daugh-
tiers Of the Confederacy. Nicholas
| Worth denies that there was any in
tellectuality among the women Of the
South. He frequently speaks of the
, lack Of culture of all the people
among whom he was reared.
Ashamed of Section.

passed out of existence The turkey rattle with
dice is still custom in some parts Of the coun-
try. Usually the turkey is tough bird, which
was purchased cheap by the proprietor OF the
saloon (for the rattle usually takes place there).
The rattle, OF course draws a crowd OF men, who
incidentally patronze the bar during the pro-
ceedings. Another sportive feature Of Thanks
giving no longer in vogue was the shooting
match. where live turkeys tied to sticks were
used. This cruel practice was abandoned be-
cause the New England clergy objected. not on
account OF its cruelty, but because 1t kept the
men away from the church service. This reason
seems to fit in with the idea OF the men back IL
the seventeenth century who, while they were
eating a Thanksgiving dinner Of venison, discov-
cred that the deer had been killed on Sunday.
They at once sent for the Indian and had him
publicly whipped. and also compelled him to
return the money which he had been paid for
the deer This being DONE they at once re-
sumed their dinner and finished up the venison.
New York city is responsible for the strangest
OF all Thanksgiving customs, and one which has
only recently died out Young men and boys
used to dress themselves in fantastic garb and
parade the streets-hundreds Of the boys wear
ing their sisters old clothes, their faces smeared
with paint and their heads covered with wigs.
As late as 1885 they held parades and made the
street hideous with their humping drums and
blaring trumpets. In 1870 this queer perform
ance took on the dignity Of political parade and
prizes we're distributed to the companies wearing
the most unique clothing. Senator William NJ
Tweed, the famous political boss Of that period
was the donor of prize Of $500 in gold. This
custom was undoubtedly a survival OF Guy
Fawkes days, carried out on a later day In the
year; for some unknown reason It was practiced
only in New York city.
Thanksgiving has always been a day Of char

serve their inmates with hearty meal and have
some sort Of service of praise. The customs Of
the greet national holiday may have changed
somewhat yet the spirit OF the first Thanksgiv-
ing, which was held a. Plymouth. in 1921. still
hovers about the national day OF prayer and
