SCOTCH MIXTUREST TO
LEAD FALL FABRICS

Among the novelties promised for the
coming autumn and winter are many
new weaves for tailored suits and coats
The Scotch mixtures are to have an espe-
cial vogue. Thick, soft woolly cloths
which the Scotch mills know so well
how to make slightly weaves with plenty
of warmth in their woolly folds-these
are what we are to wear.
Quite a bit heavier in texture and
weight are these new fabrics-and sensi-
BILE, too, for the thinner cloths frequent
~ give their feminine wearers a chance
to shiver when the north winds blow"
These Scotch mixtures are usually in
rough weaves-diagonals in two colors,
for instance, with shaggy dots in white
or gray. These make delightful top coats
Another attractive Scotch weave was of
navy and white, in a dlagonal-lIke weave,
with fancy stripe in green.
Diagonals in fact are quite frequent
ly noted, and so. too, are Scotch tweeds.
The reversible sulting is another winter
material. and will, be in evidence as Will
also fancy wool suitings in black and
white.
Soft vicuna cloths, delightful to the
touch and very pleasant to wear, will
be much used for smart top coats,
modlsh motor wraps, and effective steam
er coats.
But our old friend, the serge, will not
be overlooked. Serges m heavy winter
weights and novelty as well as plain
weaves are to be as fashionable as ever
Likewise cheviots and fancy worsteds
VIII nave place in the seasons modes.

BY JULIA CHANDLER MANI.

i want to tell you of "A recent eX-

told it 10 you I want YOU to tell it again
IN The Herald's Page for Every Woman,
because it may set a few young women
who are starting in to earn their own
living right in several matters.
I called to see a certain man last
week on matter that involved several
thousand dollars for him. My time was
very limited and l asked the young wom-
an who told me that she was his private
secretary to tell him that I was waiting,
which she did with a nasaI twang that
irritated my nerves on the start.
Il had been in Browns private office
not more than five minutes when the
girl opened the door abruptly and in
formed him that he was wanted on the
phone
Tell them to call again" Brown told
her.

The man whom had come to see in

an apology.
Il had gotten only to the stcreotyed
phrase. as I was saving. when his private
secretary again opened the door and
thrust letter unG"r Ms nose with a de
mand for his signature. There had NOT
been even 80 much as "A tap on the door

Dress Hints.

Navy blue and scarlet are appearing
prominently in the autumn ensemble of
sartorial effects. They are the old army
colors, deep navy blue and bright red,
and are striking as we'll as youthful
Blue serge or rough tweed travelling and
motor coats have hood collars of scarlet
broadcloth, and blue serge suits show
dashes of the scarlet in their trimming.
With these semi-military suits, many
OF which have smart touches of black
braid, are worn the broad sombrero hats
heraldlng the approach Of autumn. White
is extremely good in a hat of this kind
bent into a becoming shape and trimmed
simply with soft scarf, a band Of a
military ornament.
Russian blouses and Norfolk jackets are
made to be worn with or without an un-
derwaist. With a flannel or medium
weight waist they coud be worn far into
the autumn, or even be made to serve
as jackets.

AMERICAS GUN CLUB
TO Be RE ORGANIZED
Trap and Grounds Will Be
Finest in GOrgia

Americas marksmen will soon have
an opportunity to try their skill on
the best located trap shooting grounds
in Georgia.
The trap that is to be used by the
Americas Gun Club is now ready to
be put in place at the grounds of the
Country Club. The trap has been
leased from North Brothers and is
of the Leggett Ideal variety, which can
never be bought, but is subject only
to lease.
The arradgement of the trap and
the small house that is to cover it is
in chargerqf 4r. H. w. lSmithwick, who
has been engaged for that purpose by
local enthusiasts. Mr.. Smithwick is
familiar with matters of this kind,
and is giving careful attention to the
placing of the trap in order that the
best results may be obtained
The trap will likely be placed very
close to the Country Club house at
the rear, so that spectators may enjoy
the shooting while they are seated on
the gallery of the club house. The on
ly delay now is for specific tnstruc-
tions to be given as to the exact place
where the trap will be set up
las soon as possible local trap shoot
ers will assemble and organize, or
rather re-organize, the Americas Gun
Club, which was tiourishing organi-
cation until a few years ago. A shoot
will be scheduled for an early date 10
open up the new grounds. An effort
will likely be made also to secure the
Southern Handicap meeting of the In
ter-State Trap Shooters Association.
which, if secured, would attract trap
shooters not only from all parts o.
Georgia, but from all Southern states
