As a Result of This Woman’s Genius, Atlanta Women No Longer Go to New York or Baltimore. 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* KIRKCALDIE 1-2 Whitehall Street. 73
