CAL IN THE FOUNTAIN"
GREET1 HER OWN SEX

ATLANTA, Ga, May 4.-The famous
Gal in The Fountain in the grill
room of the Piedmont hotel, who came
into great prominence ten years ago
when the enemies of Hoke Smith tried
to make her a political issue in his
campaign for governor, had her first
introduction yesterday afternoon to
the members of her own sex.
All her life the young lady who
stands in the middle Of the fountain has
basked in the admiring attention Of the
masculine variety, and no assembly of
men in the grill room is too large Or
too boisterous to disconcert her per-
feet poise.
But when eighty ladies attending the
.ir Brake associations convention with
their husbands marched into the grill
room yesterday afternoon the beauti-
full water sprite, if she could have
done so, would have blushed from head
to foot and attempted to leave the ped
estal on which she has reigned these
many years.
And if it was the girl in the foun-
tain's first introduction to womenkind,
it was womenkind's first introduction
to the cool grotte where the fountain
trickles, for until the new prohibition
laws went into effect Monday of this
week, the grill room was reserved for
the especial edification and pleasure of
masculine guests-in other words, it
was near-beer saloon.

a sudden drop in the temperature
yesterday brought on a mad scramble
for overcoats gas stoves and blankets.
The thermometer rcsistered y degrees
less than on the preceding day.
Tulsa residents were for the most
part unprepared for the change. The
transition from "a heat wave. unusual
for october, to a temperature of 80
degrees caught many persons still
wearing summer clothing. But last
night oVerCOats were numerous on the
downtown streets. Drug stores and
refreshment shops hurriedly fitted up
their hot drink service. Those places
where hot drinks were served enjoyed
a brisk trade.
The prediction for today is con-
tinued cold. The maximum tcmpera-
ture yesterday was - and the min
imum 90 degrees. one year ago the
temperature was almost the same rs
yesterday.
The cold wave is caused by high
pressure over the Dakotas and Mon
tana. Although frost is predicted to-
night there is little it can hurt.
