Our modern bakery is as near perfect as a
bakery can be made, h is strictly sanitary—no
dust, dirt or odors. Our bread and pastrv are
mixed and handled by machinery, the quantities
used are weighed to tlie fraction of an ounce.
Nothing is left to guesswork. The result is we
furnish the finest qualities sold in Atlanta, and

Never has a grand opera audience
in Atlanta been handled with less
confusion, less Inconvenience, less
noise. The curtain rose within six
minutes of the hour—8 o’clock—set
for the opening, and not a person was
seated afterward. There was no
scurrying up and down the aisles to
disturb the music, no clattering of
seats to interrupt a tine passage.
Those who arrived late stayed out un
til the curtain had fallen on the first
act. and there were several hundred
of these.
Caruso's first entrance was tlie sig
nal for a tremendous burst of ap
plause, which subsided only when the
tenor stepped out of hi.® part for a
bow to his friends. Scotti, too. this
time in a swaggering, jovial comedy
role, brought a roar of approbation
when he appeared with the dainty new
soprano. There were other old friends

; .on is that Cottolene contains

tieats to a much higher degree
than butter or lard, fries so
quickly that it forms a crisp, dry

Cottolene is decidedly better
than butter or lard for all short

it is quicker, it is more e'eonom-

Cottolene costs no more than

There will he no performance to

on long-distance salaries being

came to a climax to-day, when the
board of directors of the station met
here to elect the new staff to take

the new station director, succeeds
Martin V. Calvin.
Dr. H. C. White, of Athens, now

the cast, too. Scgurola, who has
sung the great basso roles in half a
dozen Atlanta performances, was the
Geronte. Rada’s fine tenor showed to
great advantage in the Edmondo role
and little Reiss, the comedian, had
a delicious bit as the ballet master.
Maria Duchene’s line contralto rang
clear for a few moments in the mad
rigal scene, and Ananian. Audisio and
Rossi had small roles. Sturani con
ducted.
The opera, though written twenty
years ago, is singularly characteristic
of Puccini’s style. It has* the same
cloyingly sweet string- passages, the
same plaintive motifs for the love
duets, which were afterward developed
more elaborately in "Butterfly’’ and
“Boheme/*
One could have recognized it as a
Puccini work without a program.
The orchestra is given a large share
of the burden and its work was as
exquisite as always, especially in the
somber intermezzo between the sec
ond and tliicd acts.
Caruso in Fine Voice.
Never before has Atlanta heard Ca
ruso in better voice. He has had roles
which gave his matchless tenor great
er opportunity for emotional passages,
which permitted him to soar higher in
the clouds of top-notes. There is no
moment in "Manon" equal to the Sob
Song in "Pagliacel;" no superb sus
tained high note as in the Brindisi of
"Cavolleria,” but in sheer beauty of
tone, In exquisite shading. Caruso’s
voice had every chance and he made
the most of It.

Harry H. Oat.«, who said he was a
traveling salesman living at the
Peachtree Inn. asked the police this*
afternoon to aid him in the search
for his pretty 21-year-old wife, miss
ing since Saturday. He told the police
she had either wandered away de
mented, or eloped with Qunnpus Del-
Ions. a decorator, who was stopping
at the hotel.
Mrs. Oats did not take her two-
year-old son with her—the first time,
the father said, she had gone any
where without him.
The Oat**’ nurse told Oats, the po

to her whereby she would go to Chi
cago with Dellons and there become
an actress.

The be'st reward of a great achievement is the power to do something
better.
Doing is learning.
The last time we offered “Special Purchase” Dresses at a very low
figure we thought it impossible to give greater values at such absurdly low
prices.
But, “the bridge of endeavor spans the sea of impossibility."
We made the effort—the Dresses are here and the opportunity is yours
to-morrow.
The Dresses are being unpacked as this is written. They will bo ar
ranged on four large tables for convenient ehoosing, and judging from
their value and desirability, coupled with the wonderfully low prices, we
calculate they will remain only a few hours.
Dainty white, summery Frocks of various pretty styles—lingerie,
voiles and sheer grenadines. A touch of color introduced here and there,
in a girdle, a fascinating velvet bow at the neck, a smart sash or in dain
ty bits of embroidery. Plenty of all—white dresses for those who prefer
them. And choice of high neck, low n eck, long sleeves or three-quarter
lengths.
Every one new and stylish, and SUCH A VARIETY OF
KINDS. The main thing is to SHOP EARLY if you would
share this sale. Which means paying $3.90, $5.90 or $7.90
for regular $7.50 to $25 Dresses.
