THE AUGUSTA SUNDAY HERALD VOLUME XIII., No. 273. WHITE’S 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.

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 make.
