"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 For Savannah Thefts SAVANNAH, Sept. 10.—R. S.

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.

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.
