The hint of autumn in the air
brings thoughts of new hats to all
womankind. "What are the new hats
like?" Is a momentous question to be
settled within the next few weeks,
and the most satisfactory way of
finding out for one’s self is to visit
the millinery exhibits in the fash
ionable shops of the city.
Beginning to-day the J. M. High
Company Is showing a variety of
modish hats. They are now thorough
ly equipped for the proper display of
all things pertaining to millinery,
having recently romedeled the salon
and secured hat models. This is a
new feature of millinery In Atlanta,
and one that is welcomed, as few
women wish their own hair disar
ranged.
Looks Like a Velvet Season.
The first thought resulting from a
glance at these hats is that it Is to
be a velvet season. There are hats of
many sizes and shapes, but nearly all
of these are of velvet—and most of
them of black velvet, or of satin with
velvet combinations. The tilt of the
brim smartly planting to show the
hair on one side of the face is the
"new lint" which appears in most of
the hats. Birds’ plumage is a favored
trimming, giving place sometimes to
ruffles of black lace or butterfly bows
of tulle.
Noticeable in the High display is a
Virot chapeau of lace with the crown
of crushed black velvet and a band
of fur of the new four-cornered shape.
One of the most favored colors for
afternoon wfear Is the porte peche, a
yellow just missing the saffron shade,
and this is exemplified in several at
tractive High models.
Morning Hats in White.
Quite a becoming model Is a tip-
tilted Paul Polret shape of peacock
2 Atlanta Boys Held

SAVANNAH, Sept. 10.—R. S. Free
man and George, Mann, Atlanta boys
arrested here Saturday, were hound

They are said to have robbed of
fices in the •business district.
Graft in New Haven
Bond Issue Charged
BOSTON, Sept. 10.—Morgan G.
Bulkely, ex-Governor of Connecticut,
ex-Senator and leading opponent of
the underwriting of the New Haven’s
proposed $67,000,000 bond Issue, at the
hearing on that issue to-day made
the charge that the stockholders’ pro
tective committee has been "pla
cated" by an offer of one-third of the
underwriting of the issue.
"The stockholders’ protective com
mittee is a sheer humbug,” he said.
Postmaster Indicted
For $5,700 Shortage
MOBILE, Sept. 10.—The Grand Jury
of Lauderdale County, Mississippi,
has returned an indictment against
Postmaster W. J. Price, of Meridian.
Twenty-six counts, alleging short
ages amounting to about $5,700, were
made. Price denies his guilt.
blue hatters’ plush with the butterfly
shaped gourrah feather. There Is an
excellent display of mourning hats
with the cascade net veils and made
of crepe. As the Astor mourning is
pure white, a number of models are
shown in the white crepe.
Great interest is being felt in the
opening of millinery at Smith & Hig
gins. There are to be seen hats In
all the new colors, including the all
ljlack, the peacock and September
Morn blues, the mahogany brown,
purple and fox gray. A model known
as the tortoise shell is a bonnet shape
with the low crown, made of black
velvet with one cerise rose on the
side back. Many of these hats have
a hunch of apple, plum or autumn
leaves, this being used instead ?Tf the
favorite rose so much worn the past
season.
Girls Like Tango Chapeau.
Girls seem to prefer the tango
chapeau with its soft crown of vel
vet and a rulfle either of lace, tulle or
velvet about the face and the coronet
of lace around the crown. Ostrich,
gourrah, numidi feathers seem to be
in the best mode for semi-dressy
wear.
Many Gage and Chapeau Francals
models are on exhibition at the Smith
& Higgins store.
Twain's Friend Dead;
Saw Famed Frog Hop
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept, 10.—Otto

gel’s Hotel In Angel 9 Camp, where

shot, failed to Jump at a time when

Buys Carnegie and
J, P. Morgan Drinks
PITTSBURG, Sept. 10.—Peter Al-
cox, of Akron, here on a pleasure trip,
told of having bought the drinks for
Andrew Carnegie \and J. Pierpoont
Morgan. When he woke up he re
ported the loss of $60 to the police.
"I guess if X thought everybody was

There are many reasons why the Walter Ballard Optical Service is
Superior. But more than any other one reason, because of its unvarying—
-E-L-I-A-B-I-L-I-T-Y
ROM the t eginning we realized that in order to be successful, our business must be con
ducted along lines of absolute integrity. This, inasmuch as dur patients necessarily depend
entirely upon what we tell them regarding optical work. We must respect this, their con-
confidence so deeply reposed in us, to the greatest possible degree. Long ago our patients
knew and thought of us as a reliable firm. We feel very grateful to be known as R-E-L-I-
A-B-L-E. We have done cur best and to-day the name of Walter Ballard Optical Co. is a guar
antee of Safety and Efficiency in every prescription hrought us for glasses. Naturally under these
conditions our business has grown to be one of the largest manufacturing retail optical firms in the
Southern States.
Absolute Accuracy
E invite you, in case optical service is needed, to become (if you are not already one)
one of our many thousand patrons. Remember, we are OPTICIANS, pure and
simple, NOT specialists, and after our examination, if your eyes need the attention
of an oculist we will so advise; but we positively will not furnish you glasses unless
they are absolutely suited to your eyes. Our reference—anyone who has patronized us.
