Atlanta Ga.— Shipments o£ psy
ches and ivatermelons. from Ge Tgia
for the 1921 season have surpassed
all previous records. According 1 to
figures compiled by the Southern
Railway System from official- sour
ces 10,264 cars of peaches had b?en
shipped from Georgia up to.Juiy 22
and the crop is expected to run a-
bove 10,500 cars. In 1920 Georgia
shipped 5,663 cars of peaches. With
a great part of the watermelons
still to he shipped, Georgia has a.-
readdy passed the total for 1JJW.
Up to July 16 Georgia had shipped
10,110 cars of watermelons and ship
inents since then have run abov* JbO
cars a day. These' results show that
there was no ground for aporeaens*
i«ms expressed early i.n the season
that the Georgia peaches and melons
wouuld not move this year. Prices
leceived by growers have been qute
satisfactory. The Atlanta Jour la!
estimates the return received by Ga.
growers from these two crops so far
at ten million dollars. Favorable
weather condditions, improved trans
portation facilities and better meth
ods of marketing are amony Iho fac
tor's which have contributed to the
success of the Georgia producers

One of the fashion shops in the
1’eachtree Arcade to which temin-
ine steps lead during shopping hours
tells the correspondent of this news
service that the garter is now one of
the most costly articles of the At'nn-
ta lady’s wardrobe. As if this in
formation was news. When, foe in
stance was that not the case ! Shake
speare and contemporary autnors
wove love and romance around the
garter, nobody appears to recall
when it wasn’t the pride of the v’o-
men and the joy of the men.
The writer of the Restora ion pe
riod speaks of the court ladies v ns
‘ fair frail beauties who lift their pet
ticoats to show the gallants til.* for
tunes hung around their logs as gai
ters.” This love of display wwas ev
idently not confined to the woman of
the Restoration foe a sa vastic poet
about the middle of the eighteenth
century wrote:
“Make your petticoats short
That a hoop eight yards wide
May decently show
How the garters are ty’d.”
The garters worn by men in the.
sixteenth and seventeenth centuries
often took the form of richly em
broidered scarfs, fringed with point
lace of gold and tied in a Dow at
the side of the knees. At a niter pe
riod they were adorned with diam
onds, paste or steal buckes and were
broad or narrow, according to tin
fashion of the day.
It was natural perhaps that »n
most fashionable men should take uj
and lavish on the garter muen mon
ty, in colonial times, when pic;wen
of that day show us General Wash
ington and others adorned .in knee
trousers, with flashy garttrs, and po
wdered hair. The women of tha*

feminine wardrobes, “it would be odd
if they didn’t wear garters no less
dainty, eaborate or costly than of

hasn’t noticed the anxiety on his

with his garters?”
