It's goodbye to Sind Bur fwrr.v if

movement was started with
great enthusiasm to at once In*
augumte work which will result ulti
mately in the establishment of a

has been In operation for more than
a hundred years.
Messrs. J. 0. Lamar, Randolph Dun

If the movement Is a success the

The Question of Theatre-Gowns
Is Agitating Augusta Women Now
Have you selected your costume for
“The Merry Widow, - ’ next week
If not, it is most important that you
do so right away.
The social season is, for one reason
and another, opening rather slowly this
Fall, and the women of Augusta who
have been engrossed with many impor
tant. things concerned with their homes
have had little time and thought to
give to personal adornment. Now, how
ever, they realize that it is time for
them ,<o begin, since the season is open
ing in the theatre with such princely
productions as “The Merry Widow,"
which means, of course thaf elaborate
toilets have to be planned for the gor
geousness of the raiment on the stage.
If it were not for this necessity of hav
ing something ready to wear Friday
evening and Saturday matinee and night
most of our well-gowned women declare
they would wait until after seeing the
costumes in “The Merry Widow” before

said to be as remarkable for its beauti
ful and strictly up-to-date toilets as for
its snatchy melodies.
After ail, though, this would seem to
argue a certain lack of faith in the in
fallibility of the Augusta dry goods
merchants and milliners, something that
would be manifestly unfair since all of
us know, that is all of us who have
taken pains to acquaint ourselves with
well-founded actualities, that the mer
chants on Broad street may be relied

No, you can't go far wrong if you
choose your gown \or “The Merry Wid
od’ at any one of the shops whose of
ferings are heralded in today's paper.
AT MULLARGY and SULLIVANS.
There are to be found here some rare
ly attractive princess suits in all the
most approved shades of silk, any of
which would he most attractive to wear
to the theatre. Or, if you prefer to
wear a skirt you already have with
one of the newest waists, lovely crea
tons in white, black, cream net or in col
ored silks may be seen at Mullarky and
Sullivan's. There are also at this most
attractive store any number of beauti
ful dress materials with which to make
costumes to wear to “The Merry Wid
ow, ’ or any other dramatic o. social
function.
R. L. HUNTER’S
Hunter is making a brilliant showing
of tailored suits this week, some of tho
most beautiful models to be had in'“Au
gusta. A number of these are quite
sufficiently dressy to be worn to tho
opera, being extreme models of the fav
ored Directoire style, while others again
are severely plain, depending son their
excellent effect upon the beauty of their
lines and the fineness of the materials.
Quite attractive also are the handsome
wool suitings at Hunter’s, any one of
which would be ideally suited to an
elaborate th' toilet.
VON KAMP. VAUGHAN AND
GERALD.
In addition to the many beautiful
tailored suits that are being offered at
Von Kamp, Vaughan and Gerald’s they
are showing a great many lovely dress
accessories that will be In evidence at
the opera on Friday night. Among
these are the new and incomparably
graceful Directoire sashes in black and
In many of the most delicate evening
shades. There is also to be seen here
everything new in the way of neck
wear.
THE ANDREWS BROTHERS DRY
GOODS COMPANY.
To judge from the sinking propensi
ties of the thermometer it is going to be
so cool next week that furs will be In
great demand and the exceptionally
beautiful ones to be seen at the An
drews Brothers Dry Goods Co., will form
what will probably be the richest addi
tion to the "Merry Widow” toilet*.
These furs are beautiful in material,
graceful in design and are very prettily
lined. Taken all in all .they probably
make the handsomest display of furs
ever seen in Augusta. A great many of
the neck pieces and muffs are being
shown in Andrews's windows today.
