Seven “don’ts” for the children of
Atlanta will be posted in every school
room in the city if the recommendation

one
Don't put your hands or arms out of a

Dr. Wiley’s Heir Watched
Carefully by Illustrious
Father and Nurses.
Washington, which, during the con
gressional season, resounds with the
prattle and laughter of the children of
the thousands of men in public life who
make the capital city their rendezvous,
will greet two newcomers this season,
namely, Millicent, the granddaughter of
Henry K. Chang, the Chinese minister,
and Harvey Wiley, Jr., the six-months
old son of Dr. Harvey Wiley, who, it has
been reported, will be tendered a post
of high rank under the new adminis
tration.
Millicent is about three years old and
an exceptionally bright little girl. She
Is mastering a number of English syl
lables. She is quite a favorite among
the diplomats attached to the legation
and the idol of her grandfather, the
minister.
This is Millicent’s first year In Wash
ington.
The baby son of Dr. Wiley is quite as
prominent as his famous father. The
Wiley home at Washington has been
turned into a great nursery and a care
ful watch is maintained, not only by
his nurses, but by his father as well, on
the diet of the young one.

Now a Sale of All the Elegant Coats and Wraps
WL F° r Street and Evening Wear
-■X' Brought down to its best analysis, this sale, starting to
rnorrow morning, makes it the most opportune time of the
7/ ( \-h whole year to buy a coat or wrap “de luxe.”
' p Would you own one?
I hen waste no time in the morning, for these are the
c °ats that the heart of femininity delights in--rich, elegant
velvets, brocaded and plain, lustrous charnieuses, broad
cloths in the lighter shades and in white and black, beaiiti
~ iidlx braided. And not just a few of these are reduced,
but the whole stock !
. Moreover--
d he Reductions Range From One-
Fifth to One-Half Former Prices
and it seems that the finer the coat, the greater is the reduction!
We will make no mention of the many—each one an individual model
that were untd now priced at $16.95, $20.00, $25.00 and $29 75--save to tell you
that they are all made along the accepted style lines of this season—at one time a
graceful cutaway with the drop shoulder, again a very plain straight model with set
in sleeve. Also all the heavy corded black Ottoman silk coats with broad shawl col
lars that were sold at these prices are included.
