Fast Passenger Trains Collide
on Curve and Embankment
Near Granite. N. C.
RICHMOND. VA., Nov. 19.—Due to a
head-on collision at Granite, N. C., 95
miles south of this city, at 4 o’clock this
morning, of passenger trains 81, south

MAUDE ADAMS TO GIVE
EXTRA MATINEE FRIDAY
AT ATLANTA THEATER
Owing to the unusual demand for seats
to see Maude Adams in "Peter Pan,”
the management of the Atlanta theater
has succeeded in persuading Miss Adams
to give an extra matinee Friday after
noon. Seats for this extra performance
will be placed on sale at 9 o’clock Wed
nesday, and those desiring same should
be in line at the hour of the opening.
The engagement of Miss Adams will un
questionably prove a record-breaker at
the Atlanta theater. Her engagement
begins Thursday night and will continue
through Saturday night, with matinee
Saturday, and with the extra performance
Friday afternoon.
The step was taken because of the fact
that hundreds of ladies and children ex
pressed disappointment over their failure
to secure choicest seats for the Saturday
matinee. Especially was this true with
reference to the best seats in the bal
cony.
15 hfle the sale has been unusually
heavy, plenty of good seats remain at the
Atlanta for every performance, and the
addition of this extra matinee will enable'
every one in Atlanta or vicinity to bee
Miss Adams in this Barrie masterpiece.
The seats will not be placed on sale
for the special matinee until 9 o'clock
Wednesday morning and no reservations
will be made.

ATLANTA NEW YORK PARIS
The Oriental Room of the Bazaar
It brings to Atlanta the rich and rare wares of the far East.
Its stocks are always interesting to those who have a den
or an Oriental room in their home. Now that the holidays are
approaching, its stocks take on new life, in that they bring so
many odd art pieces that will make presents of best taste.
Such are:
The Damascus Brasses that look so old in their dull finish
great standing lamps, table lamps, oddly-shaped jardinieres,
quaint candle sticks.
Richly carved Teakwood Tables and Tabourettes—you
marvel at their wonderful carvings, the patience that wrought
them. You know they were not made in our hurrying America.
Rare pieces of Chinaware, ornamental urns and vases and
pitchers of Blue Canton, of Royal Medallion, Imari, Blue Haw
thorn and exquisite shell-like Japanese and Chinese Tea Sets.
And here is a notable standing lamp for electricity. It has
a black lacquered stand and a shade made of an old Japanese
print—an original that was done back in the seventeenth cen
tury.
Then there are many little pieces of brass ware, table pieces,
smoking sets, gongs and the like—things ideal for the Christ
mas season. All very interesting and worthy of a visit.
The Small Fur Hats Are Winning Favor
“The most noticeable thing in early winter millinery,’’ writes
Estelle Mershon, of 20 East 46th street, New York,“is the prom
inence of fur.” Then the letter goes on to tell of the different
kinds of fur and how they are used.
But better than the telling of it will be your visit to the
millinery department—where you will see the hats that this
very smart little shop there in New York has sent us for the
women of Atlanta.
New fur hats are coming in daily. They are interesting be
cause they are different from any Atlanta has yet seen—dif
ferent in many, many ways—one time it is the shape of the hat,
another time the unusual way in which the fur wraps a crown
or edges a brim—or again it might be in the use of gold or sil
ver with fur.
And here is a hat, not of fur, but of black velvet, that points
the way of the early spring fashions It is small, its brim turns
back against a crown that drapes toward the front. It is trim
med with a large Paradise feather that curls high over the crown
toward the front—possibly you will say now r that it is extreme
---but when next February comes the style will not be so new\
