Introducing Miss Never Late-the
new Atlanta girl.
She is clad in seven garments
that's the word. Just seven.
One-piece bit of sheer lingerie.
Corset extending almost to the
knees. but not appearing above the
waist.
Silk stockings
Low shoes.
one piece gown.
Soft chapeau.
Coat, with two buttons.
The most interesting feature of the
costume is the fact that the Never Late
girl can dress in ten minutes Hence
'her name.
No more waiting. you helpless men,
while the clock hands whirl around and
find you still sitting in her parlor
grasping two show tickets in despair
while the chronometer displays $50,
and then some.
No more restless pacing of the floor,
you married men, while friend wife
tugs and strains with the "hOok-up-
the back gown.
The seven piece wardrobe, just ar
rived here. is the guaranteed panacea
for late theaters late dinners, late en-
gagements Of all kinds
II will undoubtedly be welcomed by
the "peeved hubby" club. 1t will lik--
wise be welcomed by Miss and Mrs.
Atlanta in general, because if there is
one thing more dreaded than a missed
engagement by those of society 1t is TO
be accompanied any place by grouchy

charter reform the necessary two

Boss Rule Pictured.
In one OF the most remarkable state
ments he has ever made to the public,
Mayor Woodward to-day pictured a
system Of boss rule in Atlanta such
as few cities have ever suffered.
Said the mayor Of these bosses:
They are using these councilmen to
shield their political lives like they
wear shoes to protect their feet from
sharp stones" he said They wore
them out yesterday Those men who
defed the sovereign right of the people
OF Atlanta are politically dead. And

provision in our charter now" he as
serted with feeling we would dis
card these men before a fortnight

crucifed for selfish interests. l am
much surprised to find some of the
members of council acting in the inter-

sounded. The right of the people to

The Political Trend.

AS the days go by many changes
are appearing on the political hori
zon. The leaders in the different
parties are laboring necessarily to
catch the ears of the people before
election time comes. The Negroes in
4 Tennessee hold a very unique posi-
ton in this situation They take no
part in shaping the policy of any
party; they have no chance of cleo
ton to Office, but after all they are
more likely to suffer with the changes
that may come.
During the last few years the Ne
groes in this state have faired ey-
ceptionally well, politically speaking.
There has net been ''jlEl crew" law
passed in this state since the enact
ment of the street car law, but it
will be foolish on the part of the
Negroes of the state to get it into
their heads that all of the 'jim crow"
politicians in Tennessee are dead.
They are very much alive, and the
only reason they have not been busy
on the job of "jim crow" legislation
is because they have been kept %
busy doing something else.
The serious question Negroes
should be debating in their minds
now is what the next move will be.
That there will be a change in the
alignment of the old parties is to be
Expected. The wrangling that has ex-
listed in the democratic party will
mot continue for all times, and with
the reconciliation it is left to be seen
whether or not all democrats will re-
turn to the fold, and on the other
hand will all of the Negroes return
to the republican ranks? The atti-
tude of the national democratic ad-
ministration will be certain to have
some bearing on the Negro vote
throughout the country, but it will
be the better part of wisdom for Ne
groes to differentiate between state
and national politics; it will be bet
ter for the Negroes of Tennessee to
have peace and prosperity in this
state and to work for its development
than to spend their energy condemn
ing the administration at Washington.
independence is the most noble spirit
one can have in politics. Parties
sound we'll in name, but the princi-
pies of the party and the men who
are to promulgate those principles
are of more concern than the name
of any party AS these various par
ty leaders are sparring for the
vantage point, the Negroes of Tennes-
see should at the same time be do
ing the same thing. And remember
at all times that he who saith least
can do most.
