NOBLEWOMENIN
SHARP PEN DUEL
Lady Paget. American Girl, and
Countess of Aberdeen Clash
Over Turkey Trot Episode.
DUBLIN. Sept. 20. —The Countess of
‘ Aberdeen and Lady Arthur Paget have
had a duel with sharp-pointed pens.
But the daughter of Dudley Coutts, the
banker, first Ixtrd Tweedmouth, and the
daughter of the late Paran Stevens, of
New York, met with the exquisite po
liteness of the old duelists.
Lady Paget was .Minnie Stevens, of
New Yoik. While Lady Paget con
tributes most liberally to charities she
never has devoted much of her time to
them. She is as popular in society In
Dublin, Paris and London as in New
York.
There had been no love lost between
the fair combatants. The Countess of
Aberdeen wrote Lady Paget not long
ago asking her to take an active part in
that fine charity, the Woman’s Na
tional Health association.
Turkey Trot Causes Trouble.
Lady Paget replied with a subscrip
tion, but regretted deeply that her
lameness caused by an accident in an
elevator would prevent her taking tiny
further part in the work. Lady Aber
deen had another pet scheme, the
"Bankers club," and she tried hard but
vainly to interest Lady Paget in that
also.
Lady Paget gave a ball in the com
modious rooms of the Royal hospital
here during horse show week recently,
and there was some joyous, but grace
ful, dancing. Then Lord and Lady
Aberdeen gave a ball at the Viceregal
Lodge, which is always a very solemn
function, indeed, for, since the viceroy
directly represents the king, a ball at
the Viceregal Lodge is equivalent to a
court function at Buckingham palace.
But its solemnity was shattered by
some misguided guest who insisted on
dancing a modified turkey trot. Fur
ther, these persons violated all Vice
regal etiquette by applauding and de
manding encores of the popular num
bers.
Rumor had it that some American
friends of Lady Paget who had been
her house guests during the horse show
week were those who had danced
strange dances and noisily demanded
more of them.
Certain It Wasn't Americans.
It reached the ears of Lady Paget.
The whisper fired her American blood
and she wrote to Lady Aberdeen an
extremely pointed and extremely polite
letter. She assured the Vicereine that
it was simply impossible that any
American —more than impossible that
one of her friends- should' have vio
lated etiquette: should have indulged
in even a modified turkey trot or ap
plauded as if he or she were In a music
hall. :
And the apology, the amende honor
able, came quickly. Aberdeen
sent a reply to Lady Paget which any
body but Lady Paget would call "gra
cious."
“I never gave any credence to ru
mor,” wrote Lady Aberdeen. "My ex
perience has been that, In matters of
etiquette. Americans spare no pains to
acquaint themselves with the correct
procedure of what I, for one, have al
ways strongly deprecated—has contrib
uted to the sad deterioration of man
ners among some of our younger folk.”

PLENTY BULL GRAIN TALK.
BUT BUYING RESTRICTED
CHICAGO, sept 20 The Inter-Ocean
says: "Most of the traders regard the
wheat market as a narrow professional
affair with limited hedge sales here, es
pecially as compared with the size of the
movement. It was said by a pit observer
that while a number of big local traders
are talking bullish, they are not buying
much wheat Gossip of corn trader is
that strong interests have absorbed a
great deal of corn of late, and that a
number of local traders are disposed tn

Bring Your Hands to the Glove Counter
The New Kid Gloves Are Ready
In the Variety and Abundance That Mean
Glove-Satisfaction to the Women of Atlanta!
Glove-satisfaction for all the women of Atlanta-
Do you realize what that really means? How
hands differ, not to mention how gloves differ and
which are the worthy ones?
We do—-and we have made every preparation
to fit every size and shape of hand that you can
bring to us with gloves that are best.
We might write long and earnestly about kid
gloves—and about real kid-skin and how it differs
from what is too generally known as kid-skin; about
the deceptions that are practiced in the name of real
kid, and the upshot of it all would be that the aver
age woman must depend largely upon the honesty
and integrity of the store.
The kid glove business is much a matter of trust.
Perhaps that is one reason why we are superscrupu
lous in our attitude towards our customers and so
very careful and exacting in our attitude toward the
makers.
That is why there is not an iota of difference
here between a true statement and a “commercially"
true statement of glove facts; that is why you can
not buy here a lamb-skin as a kid-skin glove. Also,
that is why you are sure of full value—of gloves that
outwear their prices.
However,we urge that you let our saleswomen fit
your gloves. They are experienced and capable.
And the first fitting of a glove has much to do with
its wear and looks.
Here are the gloves that we know:
At SI.OO The Solitaire, the best SI.OO glove. It is of
lamb-skin and outwears the so-called real
kid Sigloves. It has Paris-point stitching and
may be had in black, white and all colors.
At SSI The Colbert, a heavy and soft cape-skin glove,
* * in black, tan, grey, black and white.
At SSI 50 H 1 ? N avarre, a two-clasp kid glove, in black,
va.mv white and colors.
At $1 50 V le R rea^nau gbt, a very smart P. K. seam
glove, in black, white, tan, grey and buff, with
white or self stitching. Pearl clasps.
At 552.00 brefousse kid gloves, than which there is none
better, in black, white and colors. Also at this
price are Hie Trefousse P. K. seam gloves, in
black, white, tan, grey and buff, with white or
self stitching.
At SSI 00 twelve-button kid gloves, black,
white, tan and buff. Also the T refousse six
teen-button black and white suede gloves.
At 50 Trefousse sixteen-button kid gloves, in all
W street and evening shades. Also the heavy and
cape-skin gloves with spear-point stitching, in
tan; sixteen-button length.
At $4.50
