MISS ELIZABETH BIGELOW.
The new dress and flat brimmed "tile" worn by Miss
Bigelow at the Brookline Country Club’s annual Horse
Show caused widespread conpfifjit in the Hub's Social
clroles.
Equestriennes of
Atlanta, this Is the
last word in wom
en's riding habits:
Also it was the
most talked of
costume worn at
the revival of the
Horse Show of the
Brookline Country
Club, and to-day
tailors all through
Boston and the
surrounding coun
tryside are beset
by equestrian en
thusiasts for dupli
cates The costume
was worn by Miss
Elizabeth Bigelow,
one of the most
noted of the Boston
women who have In
recent years taken
to the saddle as a
means of recrea
tion.
The usual pique
stock la discarded
by Miss- Bigdlowin
favor of a straight
standing collar of
white linen with a
bread tie of black.
This closely resem
bles the style of *60
years ago and gives
a decidedly natty
appearance to the
wearer. In place of
the conservative
black derby Miss
Bigelow wears the
bell - shaped silk
tile, with a flat
rim, fitting snugly
over the head and
which, it Is said,
“sticks” much
more closely to the
head of the rider
than the small
crowned derby.
Miss Bigelow’s
coat is of a dark
material and hangs
closely to the fig
ure and displays to
an excellent degree
her trim, clean-cut
figure. The young
woman, who Is one
of the most popu
lar society leaders
in the “Hub’s
smart set." rode to
a decided advan %
tage in the various
in. which, she
competed, and her
general appearance
added to the enthu
siasm with which
she was greeted by
the spectators and
gallery.

automobile to-day turned turtle two
rnlleH from Marietta, near Fair Oaks.
None suffered broken bones.
Mrs. Flemister’s condition is serious
from the shock. She had been in
a highly nervous state for two weeks
following the death of her baby.
Tiie accident occurred when a front
wheel dime off. It was said a garage
attendant at Uartersville had warned
Mr. Flemister of danger from this
wheel.
The chauffeur was pinioned to the
ground by the steering wheel and
Airs. Flemister was caught under the
hack of a seat, while Mr. F'lemister

passing auto for medical attention.
Mr. Flemister is a wholesale grocer
of <’artersville.

more concerts this season, thougii W.

partment of the company, said his
company was willing to supplement
any appropriation Council might
make, but that it would not pay the
full cost.
Mrs. John M. Slaton, wife of the
Governor-elect, went before the Fi
nance Committee of Council and
pleaded for a fund for free music.
She said it was recognized by the
whole country that Atlanta was a
music-loving city and it was the
duty of Council to stimulate this
feeling.
Councilman Claude L. Ashley, au
thor of a resolution to appropriate
$5,000 for music in both Grant and
Piedmont Parks, said he felt sure a
good sum would be given when the
Finance Committee met Friday and
made up the June budget.

yesterday, which bulls attributed to the

reports and a few days of dry. hot
weather bulls are looking for higher
prices and said wheat should be bought
on breaks.
“It was the theory of the bears that
the crop scare has been worked for all
It was worth for the time being and
wheat should be sold on all bulges. Corn
traders beiieve that there will be little

largely evened up as indicated by the
bulge Monday and the break of yester
day. •
"It would not be surprising to see
fireworks in May oats In the two and

Why Do Folks Pull
Flowers in Parks?
"It sure gets my nanny," said the
park policeman, "why some folks will
come out here and pull flowers. The
park commission spends a lot of money-
getting plants and a lot more to keep
them in good condition and then
along comes somebody and crabs the
whole act by tearing off a bunch of
the flowers.
"Last Sunday a young fellow came
out here and nothing would do but
he must have a magnolia. He thought
they were pretty. So they were; but
that gave him no license to pull a
blossom. But he did just the same.
I happened to see him after he had
secured the flower and I called him.
" ‘Here/ said I. ‘is a copy of
charges. Suppose you straighten out
this little affair with the Recorder.’
“ ‘Why, I didn’t know there was
any harm In taking these flowers,’
said he.
“ ‘Well, what do you suppose we
got ’em out here for?’ I told him.
These flowers belong to the city and
they are put here to be looked at,
that’s all. If you want to give your
best girl a bouquet why don’t you
go to the florist’s? That’s what they
are in business for.’
" ’1 don’t see any sign out here
saying not to pull flowers,’ says he,
nettled I guess about that best girl
remark of mine.
" ‘Sure, you don’t, I says. ‘An’
what’s more, you don’t see no sign
tellin’ you to fall in the lake or com
mit suicide, yet 1 haven’t seen you
tryln’ to do either.’
"He didn’t have any answer for
that one and I guess he was som^
wiser when he went home. And next
day he paid his little fine like a
man. Bet HE don’t pull any more
magnolias in Grant Park."
Motion Picture Show
Takes Place of Nurse.
Out in West End women with small
children have solved a problem. They
have learned how to get along with
out nurses. Of course those with ba
bies are not so fortunate, but the ones
whose youngsters can run about are
reaping the reward of ingeniousness.
Now when a mother wants to go to
the matinee or shopping in town she
doesn’t have to call in mother-in-law
or a neighbor to look after the chil
dren until she gets back. The plan
is much more simple and gives gen
eral satisfaction. She takes them to
a motion picture show-.
It should be known, of course, that
West End boasts a full-fledged
“movie" show. The children go in
droves every day and the proprie
tor must be an all-fired generous soul
because the kiddies just stay and
stay and stay. He never asks them to
go out. And that is the real secret
of the scheme taken advantage of by
the mothers.
Mrs. West End decides that she
wants to go shopping. She washes
and dresses Bobbie and Harry and
Gertrude and escorts them to the pic
ture show. She pays 15 cents and the
three young ones hike in to see the
show. And there they stay. Mrs
West End goes to town, travels from
one store to another until exhausted
and returns homeward. She stops at
| the picture show and there is Bobbie
and Harry and Gertrude still gazing
in speechless ecstasy at the pictures
on the screen.
What matters it if they have seen
the same films hair a dozen times
that afternoon? They get Just as
much fun out of it as if they ob
served them for the first time. Mrs.
West End calls her darlings and they
all return home. Mamma is satisfied,
the yungsters are decidedly so. and
Mr. Picture Man evidently is, because
next time he is Just as smiling as ever.

The Name
KIMBALL
on a
PIANO
means that scrupulous care has been given every detail of
construction; that every part has been manufactured by
the W. W. Kimball Company; that it has been made by
skilled workmen, under the direction of experts in their
respective lines. That ability, experience and responsibility
are back of the piano. The ear and eye can judge.of the
Beauty of Tone
the construction, case design and the finish, but yon must
look to the name for reliability of construction, and the
assurance that the good qualities will endure. The house of
KIMBALL has had an experience of over fifty years in the
music industry, and artists, amateurs, and thousands of sat
isfied customers give abundant proof of the merit of the
Kimball.
We are showing a large variety of styles ; in SS-note
Player Pianos and Uprights. We have wour choice in woods,
such as Rosewood, Walnut, Circassian Walnnt, Oak, Mis
sion, Satin Mahogany and Mahogany. Prices«rangingtfrom
$196 to $1,250.
Our one, absolutely one, price insures you. whether an
experienced buyer or not, of securing the best instrument
for the amount you wish to pay. It is not safe to buy a
piano, or any other article of merchandise, from a dealer
who has a sliding scale of prices, because you will never
know when he has given you his lowest price. Then, too,
your neighbor may buy the same merchandise for from
$50 to $75 less money. A piano has but one value, and that
should fix its price—the right price. Each and every in
strument on our wareroom floor is tagged tat the cash figure,
and no one pays more or less.
It is not only safe, hut, pleasant, to deal with the world’s
largest manufacturers of Pianos, Player Pianos, Residence,
