and the South have arranged to enter
Bagwell Business College during the
next few weeks. With the largest city
attendance of any other school, the fall
enrollment of this Institution promises
to be the largest In the history of At
lanta business, colleges.
What's the Use
to spend from six to ' ten months In
studying liny of the old IMtimmlc sys
tems If you can learn Chartler Short
hand in Half ths time at half th* ex
panse nnd at the same time make a
) Mter stenographer? I)o you know of
any sensible reason why you should do
According to past records ninety
out of one hundred who take up the
old systems of shorthand will have to
remain In college six to twelve months
or return home to suffer the chagrin of
failure and disappointment.
Why Take Any Risk?
There are no failures with Chartler
Shorthand for those of average intelli
gence who are willing to work. We
guarantee results, because we know
that Chartler Shorthand Is all we claim
for It. Bagwell Business College saves
the student from three to six months’
time and from 4200 to 4300.
Thousands of boys and girls from
every section of the South will enter
business colleges during the months of
September and October. Any.one who
Intends to take a business course will
do himself a great Injustice not to in
vestigate this wonderful system of
shorthand.
Repenting of Their Mistakes.
• Many students of other business col
leges In the city have called at Bag-
well Business College to Investigate
Chartler Shorthand In behalf pf friends
who are thinking of taking a course.
After seeing Its wonderful simplicity
and being convinced that both its speed
and reading power are greater than
that of any of the old systems and
seeing students who had been studying
only four to six weeks write ordinary
unfamiliar matter at the rate of fifty
to one hundred words per minute and
read their notes back without the
slightest hesitation, havo -expressed
themselves as being very sorry that
they did not Investigate before paying
their money for a course elsewhere.
Do not wait until It Is too late. Do
not be governed entirely by statements
of competitors. They do not have th*
right to teach It and can not afford to
recognize Its merits.
An Unaccepted Challenge.
Bagwell Business College has pro«
posed a number of times and still pro
poses to contest a six weeks' student
of the Chartler system against three-
months pupils of the Graham. The
matter dictated to consist of unfamiliar
matter which none of the contestants
has <.'ever seen before. It has . offered
Its competitors $100 In cash to accept
the proposition. /Why do they not ac
cept? Evidently because they are
afraid of the result.
Doss it Stand to Reason
that over two hundred of the biggest,
test, oldest and most conservative
business colleges of America, Including
the great Eastman college at Pough
keepsie, N. Y., would adopt this sys
tem, and after thoroughly testing It.
would make the same claims that we
make fur It, If these claims were not
true? Bagwell Business College has
on file a large number of letters from
these schools which state that they
have secured better results In three to
four months with Chartler Shorthand
than was possible In less than six to
eight months with any of the old sys
tems. These letters will be shown to
any who are Interested.- . . . *\

Nothing Is copied. The school room Is
turned Into a “business community,” a

books, and the work Is Just'as real and

Telegraphy, • - -
This department Is under the man
agement of a practical operator and

Owing to the great demand for opera
tors, which Is far In excess of the sup
ply, telegraphy offers a most inviting
field to young people of both sexes.

These Will Be Punished

By CAROLYN PRE8COTT.
I frequently wonder If there Is not some
separate plnco of punishment for the people
who originate the atyles. flureljr heaven
does not open Its arms for them, and the
ordinary Platonic region does not seem hot
enough for them. Therefor* I hope that
there Is a little separate place for them
somewhere, where we, who are too poor or
too huay to follow the styles they Invent,
may look through tbe bars nnd watch them
os they squirm.
Have you ever taken Into consideration
that through oqr whole lives we nre at the
command of these people? Fashion, not
only In dress, Uut In speech. In Ideas, Is
dictated by someliody, goodness knows who,
but we must follow these dictates, or be
come known as “queer.”
It’s not so bad for the woman with loads
of money and time. She has nothing else
to do, and tbe cbnngee In fanhlon come as
welcome inversions to her Jailed life, bbe
Wo:
halls with delight s new style In gowns,
ts, or anything else that will give her
nothing to think about
Int to the woman who works end who Is
Iged to count every nickel twice before
ahe spends It. this Is s different matter
entirely. Bbe Is obliged to keep np to the
style, whether she wishes to or not, while
the men go serenely on their way, wearing
clothes which are a decade old nnd which
are still respectable, If they arc whole,
well brushed and pressed.
But I dare any woman to go down Fifth
avenue wearing a gown ten rear* behind
the style. The small hoys In the streets
«rnq!d twv>f •* bee sm| fh» shopping crowd*
would forget bargains and everything else
to watch' her. woman, beautiful woman,
ran look her friend over and with one
glance can tell you the history of every
piece of dress that protects her from the
wintry blasts, and ahe knows that she Is
under the same scrutiny. If she wears
ilskln. no matter how much she paid for
... ahe Is three years behind the style, for
they can’t give sealskin away this winter;
If she has a bearer hat upon her head her
friend knows to a certainty that It Is her
Inst winter's bat done over, for nobody is
buying beaver this winter. If her sleevea
are short It la Inst winter’s coat, nnd so on
until the end of tbe chapter.
Now. I nsk my reader what punishment
strong enough for tbe people who make
necessary for ns to put a puff In at th©
top of a aleeve one year, and with Inconse-
qoenttal Impartiality compel us to turn It
upside down and put It st tbe bottom next
year. Long sleeves with abort gloves ure
superseded by short sreeres with long
gloves, sod #« It goes through the entire
range of wearables.
what does It all amount to? Jnat n de-

It Is almost enough to tempt busy women
to Join the Dr. Mary Walker cult, and tho
only reason It Is not done Is because there
was never a woman yet who looked st-

There Is one very goo$l way, however, to
keep out of the clutches of the fashion
fiend, and that Is to guide a safe middle

I believe, after all, that the worst punish-
Iii.-nt would be to compel him, her or b.
to walk down Fifth avenue In a.suit of the
vintage of 1904. I think that would be suf
ficient.
