| MUSIC NOTES
Mr. Wilford Watters, director of the

ed of old airs and songs, classical Ger
man lieder and miscellaneous modern
airs and songs, and In each group he
displayed a broad, noble conception and
brilliant vocal material.
In the compositions by the old mas
ters the singer was perfectly at home
and the German lieder were given with
commendable attention to phrasing,
enunciation and dramatic effect. It was
perhaps the modern songs that ap
pealed more strongly to the audience.
The number consisted of two French
compositions by Leo Delibes, two
Shakespeare songs by Roger Quilter
and a group by George Fr. Lindner, an
Atlanta artist.
Mr. Watters’ wonderful voice re
sponded to every demand of the com

Good Housekeepers Will Joy in the Possibilities
of This Stock of
Blankets and Comfortables
We mean those good souls who hold it as much a matter
of pride to have plenty and the right sort of bedding as it is to
have a dustless, spotless reception hall and dining room. They
will joy in this stock because here they are going to find blank
ets and comfortables that measure up to their ideas of what
good blankets and comfortables should be—and because they
are going to find them at prices that fit in with their sense of
economy.
In other words, owing to the care with which we have made
selections and prices we do not hesitate to say that one’s money
can do greatest service right here.
Now, we do not say this without serious thought and real
conviction—any more than we would think of selecting blank
ets and comfortables without first knowing they were supreme
values.
Will you be guided in your selection by these facts?

colorings that the Indians first gave us—rich browns, reds, greens, soft
grays and tans.
We do not doubt that this is Atlanta’s greatest showing of Indian
blankets.
