In Bringing Together This
Magnificent Spectacle of Jewelry Gifts
QUALITY
Had First Consideration
SOCIETY WITH
OUR NEIGHBORS
MELLICH AMP’S
FOR
QUALITY
1
Positively every single ar
ticle comprising my pres
ent most interesting dis
plays of Jewelry, Novelties, Dia
monds, Silverware, Cut Glass,
Watches, etc., was chosen with the
single idea of pleasing the most careful
and scrutinizing person and I can con
scientiously say there can be no mis
take in selecting gifts here—no mis
take because QUALITY stands first;
and then you 11 not pay too much at
this store for QUALITY. A purchaser
| in a Jewelry Store must rely to a cer-
£ tain extent on the integrity of the
“man behind the counter.” There’s no
misrepresentation at any time at this
store. It is well to remember this, as
you will be compelled to buy in an un
usual hurry the remaining Christmas
shopping days.
My displays are beyond question the
greatest in the history of this establish
ment. It is all rightly bought, and qual
ities and prices are such as will merit
favor with those who give me their hol
iday patronage.

servlets there Sunday.
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 btauty 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 glance every
thing appears graceful, sin-
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 in lovely fabrics for
evening wear than now, and
exquisite grace and beauty
of the Kirkcaldie’s creations
quisite grace and beauty of
the Kirkcaldie’s ereatious
fashioned from these fab
rics.
Miss Margai-et Kirkcal
die, who has made the
“Kirkcaldie” gowns so fa
mous, and so much in 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 and
drew attention to her estab
lishment from the first and
it has been just this same
r e c o ni m e n dation which
founded and built the sue
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 and
Baltimore modistes to buy
their gowns in Atlanta. The
K i r k c a 1 die. “Creations”
are fit to grace 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
tioAs, for her eye is trained
and her taste made perfect
by long experience. New
York modistes bring th(j
best of the European shops
to their own mail; and Miss
Kirkcaldie is in touch with
the foremost of these. She
brings home with her ideas
for gowns which Atlanta
women may proudly wear
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 Kirkcaldie supplies
her own materials, import
ing a lavish stock of infinite
variety, and having 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 aud ideas
to reproduce the latest mod
els from foreign centers of
fashion. She makes a spe
cialty of dress patterns aud
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 'Offers
for sale only fjic materials
she makes, into, “j^rkcai-
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 stylo
is lasting and its fit has tho
perfection of permanence,.
And this question of “fit”
No modiste with pride in
he"r 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 hnvc a
poor figure. It is for this
reason that Miss Kirkcaldie
has assumed the ageiicy of
a model and perfect , fitting
corset — the Gossard, or
“L’Irresistible.”
Have you attended one ,of
Miss Kirkcaldie ’» “‘open
ings?” No matter what the
season may be, they are
awaited with interest and
expectation by Atlanta’s so
cial world. Miss Kirkcaldie
receives lier- guests in per
son and the affair takes oil
the appearance of an, elab
orate Social function,, with
all Atlanta’s society leaders
present. Her little talks ou
fashion are received as au
thority. She tells the news'
of the fashion world—
whether coats will be long
short; whether skirts
clear the ankle or sweep the
carpet; whether braids or
buttons, embroidery- or lac<y
will prevail in the trimming
that helps to make a .gar
ment correct. She knows
her subject, and her talks to
her callers are heard with
the interest which is. always
given to an authority upon
any subject. Miss Kirkcal
die ’s opiuion is the last word j
upon that subject so dear to
woman—“fashion.”
Miss Kirkcaldie lias
achieved great success in
making over fill’s, impart
ing to them the distinctive
touches of the latest styles*
