T HE first few weeks of the opera season are always responsible for an interesting exhibit of hand some gowns, and this year seems to be no exception to the well-established rule One thing seems to have been definitely decided and that is, all talk of hard times to the contrary, notwith standing, the new modes are every bit as rich and luxuri ous as have ever been seen in the effective setting of the opera boxes. The mate rials are,, if possible, more exquisite with each succeed ing year, and the present type of garniture, while.by no means gaudy or conspic uous, is none the less costly. The tendency in even the most extravagant toilets seems to.be in the direction of beauty of detail and de sign, rather than toward ex cessive display, and close in spection is necessary to ful ly comprehend the costli ness of some of the present season’s evening costumes. At a casual glauce every thing appears graceful, siu- ous, simple — but this graceful sinuousness is the perfection of art; this sim plicity the acme of luxuri ous dressing. , There was never wider choice iu lovely fabrics for evening wear than now, and exquisite grace and beauty of the Kirkcaldie’s creations quisitc grace and beauty of the Kirkcaldie’s creations fashioned from these fab rics. Miss Margaret Kirkcal die, who has made the “Kirkcaldie” gowns so fa mous, aud so much iu de mand throughout this en tire section, is a woman un affected, gracious and wom anly, who opened a modest dressmaking establishment here eight years ago, practi cally a stranger. Her work and the excellence of it spoke strongly for her nnd drew attention to her estab lishment from the first aud it has been just this same r e c o m m e n datiou which founded and built the suc cess of her business. Among many other successful achievements, Miss Kirkcal die can claim the distinction of being largely responsible for bringing' Atlanta women back from New York aud Baltimore modistes to buy their gowns in Atiauta. The Kirkcaldie “Creations” are fit to gx*aee the ward robes of the best dressed women in the world. Atlanta women no longer need to take a trip to Lon don or Paris to obtain the latest models from those centers of fashion, for Miss Kirkcaldie saves them the trouble and expense. She goes to New York each sea son and often to Europe, and brings home with her the best of the season’s tions, for her eye is trained and her taste made perfect by' long experience. New York modistes bring the best of the European shops to their own mart and Miss Kirkcaldie is in touch with the foremost of these. She brings home with her ideas for gowns which Atlanta women may proudly in New York or Europe with the consciousness that they may be compared with any toilets in the drawing rooms of the Waldorf-or the St. Regis without loss of prestige. The Kirkcaldie gown is distinctive. It means all the elegance that the trade-mark of America’s most fashionable modistes can put into their creations. Miss Kirkealdie supplies her own materials, import ing a lavish stock of infinite variety, and haying at her command a choice covering the widest range. She has under her eye and ready for a customer’s inspection all that the best markets afford, all the materials and ideas to reproduce the latest mod els from foreign centers of fashion. She makes a spe cialty of dress patterns and trimmings of the most ex clusive selection, including the rarest and most beauti ful laces. So large is her display of these that it con stitutes almost a business in itself, except that She dffers for. sale ohl^ |jw she makes ipto “KirkcaL die” gowns. And a.-Kirk caldie gown is not for one season merely. The wearer need not hesitate to wear- it a second season, for its style is, lasting and its fit' has tho perfection of permanence. And this question of “fit." No modiste with, pride - in her work will permit one of her creations to be worn: over an unsightly figure, and Miss Kirkcaldie believes, • that no woman of today, in this period of corrective cor sets, has a right to have a- poor figure. It is for this, reason that Miss Kirkcaldie has assumed the agency of a model and perfect.fitting corset —the Gossard, or “LTrrcsistible.” Have you attended one of i Miss Kirkcaldie’s “open ings?” No matter what tha season may be, they are awaited with interest and expectation by Atlanta’s so cial world. Miss Kirkcaldie receives her guests in per son and the affair takes’ on“ the appearance of .au elah- ! orate social function, with all Atlanta’s society leaders- 1 present. Her little talks oii. fashion are'’received as au4' ! thority. She tells the news! of the fashion ivorid—, whether coats will be' long or short; whether skirtsf clear the ankle or sweep the carpet; whether braids or buttons, embroidery or lace, j will prevail in the trimming that helps to make ji gar-: ment eorreet. She knows'' her subject, and her talks to, her callers are heard -with' the interest which is always given to an authority upon subject. Miss Kirkcal-, did’s opinion is the last word | upon that subject so dear to iman—“fashion.” U Miss Kirkcaldie ‘hasp achieved great success in; j making over furs, impart-! ing to them the distinctive touches of the latest style!
