LACES AND TRIMMINGS.

More laces and trimmings
will be worn than ever. The de-
mand has been constantly grow
ing for the past few years. The
history of fashion repeats itself,
and from one extreme goes to
the other and back again-frOm
no trimming to elaborate trim
ming-and the reverse. A pro-
fusion of daintiness in this de-
partment. Well bought goods,
too, as evidenced by the low
ness of prices when compared
to those you have been in the
habit of paying for equal quail
tiles. Opening prices affect val
ues still more. Among the
brand-new effects that will at
tract you is the new Fillet or
Fishnet Lace, a faithful copy of
the fishermen's net with it's
rough art. Then there are the
Fillet Nets, 45 inches wide, for
covering dresses, and charming
new applique designs of various
kinds, including sprays and
bOwknots that can be detached.

SUIT BEAUTIES.

1t takes genius to plan so
many suits-to develop so
many different effects and yet
hold to the prescribed lines of
fashion. 1t would be an endless
task to tell you in detail of all
that is here in suits. You would
be tired of descriptions, where
YOU will not be tired of looking.
The extremists of style turn to-
ward the different Norfolk eff
fects, and the suits that have
taken their designation after
Louis XIV-the father of one OF
the most extravagant reigns in
history, and after whom much
that is elaborate is called. OF
course, the staples are here,
too-basis of the regular tailor
made styles.

GLOVES.

Back to the kid gloves again.
More or less a relief to come TO
their daintiness and neatness
after the loose-fitting gloves
warm weather compels one to
wear. We have broadened the
lines of the glove department
considerably. Every make of
merit on the market is repre-
senteG in a full stock. A better
dollar glove than we have ever
been able to show before. A
new maker supplying them-a
man who is after fame for his
gloves and does not stint quail
ty in doing so.
Have us aft" your gloves.
There's much of glove comfort
and neatness, too, that depends
on how a glove is put on for the
first time.

RIBBONS.

A big millinery stock infers a
big ribbon stock. The supreme
accomplishment of a ribbon
buyer is to accumulate a stock
that allows for every whim of
cOloring-that makes it impOs-
sible to say "we cannot match
that" We think we have pro-
vided such stock. Everything
staple in coloring, everything
whimsical-every combination
of colors that is in good taste.
BOw-tying is a feature of this
department. We employ ex-
perts whose services are yours
at any time. The knack of bow
making artisticallgis an accom-
plishment and a service we
think you will appreciate.

COL. WALKERlS DEAD
VENERABLE CITIZEN OF sAvAN-
NAH HAS BREATHED HIS LAST.
FULL OF YEARS AND H0N0RS,
ENJOYING THE RESPECT OF THE
COMMUNITY, HE SANK To REST.

Had Completed "A short Time Ago
the Eighty-eishth Year of His
Life-The story of His Eventfui
Career--FOr More Than Half a
Century a Citizen of savannah, He
Had Played a Prominent and Ac-
tive Part in the Upbuilding of the
City-Twenty Years "A Member ana
Chairman of the Board of County
Commissioners-A Leader in All
That Made for Good.
Col. Robert d. Walker died at MS
residence, at Barnard and Charlton
streets. at 1925 o'clock last night. Full
of years and honors, after career
in which he had enjoyed the conf
dence and respect of his fellow citizens
and had been of wide usefulness to
his city and state, Col. Walker sank
peacefully to rest.
He had just rounded out his eighty
eighth year. Born in Charleston Oct.
10. 1913, he came, in 1S46, to Savannah
and for more than half a century had
been an active, useful and honored
citizen. No man in Savannah held
a higher place in the esteem of the
people than did Col. Walker, and
though it has been generally recog-
nized for some months that his life
has been drawing to a close and that
nature was demanding payment of the
