MORE WOMEN’S NEW FALL SUITS MONDAY
All-wool Serge Panama Skirts
They come to us by one of New York’s best skirt makers, and
are tip-top in every respect—some plain stripes in worsteds—
a great variety of new models. Tunic folds, satin bands,
sheath effects, gored, pleated and combination styles, trimmed
and plain models; a great collection at a great saving; * r no

Picturesqueness— Beauty—Low Pricing in
The New Millinery
A look through the millinery exhibition leaves no doubt as to the
authority, correctness and completeness of the showing. An investi
gation of prices leaves a sense of amazement that Hats with such style
distinction-Hats of such fine materials—can be sold for such modest
rCOSt.
It is this combination—style-beauty expressing the best of Paris
thought, and low pricing often seeming hardly to pay for the cost of
materials-that gives our Millinery pre-eminent leadership this season.
These conditions prevail, not only among the beautiful Hats in
the Trimmed Millinery, but they are quite as notable among the
lesser priced Hats.
There Are Wonderful New Hats at $5.00 Each That Seem Impos
sible for the Money.
Of taffeta, velvets and felt in the soft, rich colorings that are one
of the season's special features. Trimmings of wings and fancy
feathers—simple enough, yet with an air of distinction that is rarely
to be secured even for much higher prices. See these Hats OCn fl
Children’s Trimmed Hats from 79c to $2.98 are practical, girlish
affairs, just as are wanted now for school. They have trimness and
style and they cost very little for the effect they 7Q n j n «»ri qq

STRIKINGLY EXEMPLIFIED
How Young Girl Cnmc To
Augusta and Found No
Home Club To Care For
Her Until She Found
Work. Was Caught By
Flood Waters in Union
Depot.
I have kept back the telling of
this sad story for several weeks be
cause of the trouble brought upon so
many in the dear city, by the recent
disastrous freshet; Indeed there has
been scarcely time since then to give
heed to any other theme until now,
when winter stares us in the face.
This happened on the day before I
the flood came, and while it is only I
one more Instance of the many 1 have
personally known In Augusta during
the past twenty years, yet Is parti-1
culnr.y slid In Its detail.
A fair young girl orphan and friend- 1
less, fame to Augusta to seek hon- j
orable work for support; so fully Im
pressed was she, that there was a
I properly t utabllshed "Young Woman',; j
("hristian association” here that It '
never oceured to her, before she
started, to Inquire if that were so or
dot.
Her purpose was to go direct to;
that noble Institution, fully expecting
to find there the shelter, advice and
help she needed in a strange city.
How great was her dim ppolntment, j
on arriving at our union station, to
find that Uure was not only no 1
such place )n Augusta, hut absolutely 1
no spot where she could salely get j
shelter, help and attention, according

We Have Unpacked More
Beauty in the
Dress Trimmings
#
Every minute of the day you will find throngs around
the Trimming counters. Every minute you will hear fresh
expressions of enthusiasm at such richness and variety and
loveliness in dress garniture as was never shown before.
We have just been unpacking some of the new garni
tures for evening wear, and certainly never were such things
more original in design or more charming in effect.
Of colored embroideries, jeweled and spangled, in the
rich, soft yet brilliant colors that are the season’s features.
No woman can see them without coveting them. ,
Each day adds new beauty in the Trimming section.
Buttons were never so nearly like jewels. Pendants are
jeweled and spangled and to be used profusely. Fringes are
of every sort and each prettier than the other.
It is a section of the store not to be missed now. And
not least among its manifold interests are the modest prices
possible because we picked all of these things out ourselves
direct from the importers and got them at lowest cost.
The prime leader in the women’s Tailored Wear Department is a handsome and
stylish collection of elegant suits, marked to sell at $25.00, which we shall feature
special for Monday. These fine suits are representative of the best of the new season’s

Building Progressing In

The building progress In Augusta
for tie past month was hardly more
satisfactory lo tie- contractors and
lumber dealers of this city, according
to statements from several. The d<-

has taken rush work lo supply the
needs along the building line. This
has la en especially true In regards to
ll'iiaiilng supplies, according to the

wrought by the flood has almost been
overcome by rapid work and home
and business buildings that were bad
ty hurt are now In good shape.
The feature of the construction
work now going on In Augusta Is that
It is all small, but few houses running
high Iri cost. Many of these are tie
