color. The edges of these collars may be
scaloped in color, or the collar material
may be of a fancy pattern in satin or
taffeta. Lace and lingerie collars ana
cuffs are both stylish and youthful The
sleeves include a number of novelties, as
well as the regulation coat sleeve, but
practically all are set in at the armhole.
The fancier ones having the large arm
hole are sometimes cut in kimono shape,
finished off with a deep cuff.
Some very pretty white serge coats have
pointed hood effects in collars, which are
edged with a narrow fringe, while pear
buttons are used for the fastening OF
these coats. Pique, linen. rep and pongee
coats for spring and summer are made
on the same lines as the cloth coats
They are loosely fitted and in full length
designs, and the large collars and novelty
cuffs will be much used.
Children's headwear for spring is more
attractive than ever. The small hats IN
natural, white and cOlored straws. trim
med in flowers, ribbons and fancy orna-
ments, are in variety of shapes. Some
are strictly tailored in effect, while others
are faced with chiffon or lace, giving
soft appearance to the face. Many OF
these little hats have the front brim turn
ed and the back brim dropping. Other
designs have the brtms turned up al
around.

Ruches and frills will be much worn.
The double ruche, with velvet ribbon
band. will be worn, not only as stock,
but as short-sleeve finish, a center
front waist finish and for dainty little
headpieces at fancy dress affairs, bazaars,
etc. F'rills of side-plaited dainty lace, to
fall over the tops of high stocks, and
similar frills at the neck lines Of stocks,
are also seen ON some of the newest
neckwear. The newest side frills, either
attached or separate, are much shorter
and generally smaller than they were.
The double side frill is very popular at
present, and is worn in one of three
ways, with one side pinned to the waist
at or near one shoulder, with both sides
pinned out or with neither fastened, but
falling in the regular jabot effect. Lace

White for Mourning.

So much white Is being introduced into
mourning these days that even first
mourning hats are allowed to show a re-
lieving line Of white and many models are
deliberately trimmed with white crepe.

crepe or dull mourning silk
One of the quaintest models Of this sort
seen recently is a large bonnet shape
that would look especially well on "a
young face. The bonnet proper is of
heavy mourning silk, but it has a narrow
turned back brim all around of white
crepe and there are broad bonnet strings
Of the white crepe to tie under the chin.

not approved.

this suit "Agaric" is simply the
Partisan name for a very humble and
homely material known in domestic life
as Turkish toweling. For some mex
plicable reason this humble stuff has
! been exalted to a pinnacle of fashion,
and instead of wearing Turkish toWellnS
on our bathrobes and pajamas, we are
fashionably affecting agaric on our
spring tailored suits. Whole frocks made
of this cotton toweling are being exhib-
tied by the couturiers for southern wear
but the tailors confine their employ
ment of agaric to coat trimmings; and
a very little of it used on the revers OF
spring suit goes long way, so far
as effect is concerned.
Two of the most famous French
tailors-Paquin and Bechof-David-are
represented on today's page. and the
spring suits of these couturierS are typ
ical of what is being. worn at this mo-
ment on the Frercn Riviera: the Paquln
suit being a model which. this house is

toners. Admirable in it's dainty sim
plicity and spring-like character is this
little Paquin suit, which is three-piece
affair of khaki-colored fabric in a. silky
mixture of wool and mohair threads be-
loved of French tailors. The cut of the
coat is very Paquinesque; for dearly

PRODUCES them wherever possible. AS the
photograph shows, the upper part of the
coat is slightly gathered into the pointed
informal style, the fronts. below the
waist line being slightly cut away in
pointed effect. The sleeve, a simple coat
style, is in three-quarter length and is
finished with a cuff of MORE Silk col
lar and revers of this silk finishing the
top of the coat. All coat collars now

broidery in blue around the belt, on

Dresses on the lingerie order are
made of sheer, fine materials, trimmed
with both coarse and fine laces
Heavier materials which will be used
include linens. piques, reps, natural
linens and all those in the light pastel

linens are fashioned with pleated skirts
and three quarter sleeves, with sailor
collars ending in a surplice effect in
the front, or with round hood effect
in the back, and surplice front of white
lawn, with a hemstitched edge. The
sleeves and belt are piped with white.
Other natural linen dresses have sailor
collars of red linen, with pipings of
red. and fastened in the front with
pearl buttons, and sometimes the col
with sailor tie of color.

There is an unusually pretty assort-
ment of plain and plaid ginghams, per-
Gales and chambrays. While the gem
eral style features of dresses for chill
dren are unchanged, there are num-
Der of new ideas in ways for trimming.
Large collars with large revers in the
front, many of which cross over and
fasten on the side, are among the pop
ular ideas. Washable braids, pipings.
embr oideries, heavy laces and quanti-
ties of buttons are the conspicuous
trimming materials for spring and
summer A touch of color on all
white dresses is frequently introduced
in the form of sashes and bows. Belts
are made of leather, or OF the dress
material itself.
In the designing of the younger chill
drens dresses the kimono sleeve con-
tinues in favor. These little dresses are
necks, with belts of self material, trim
med with braid or pipings, or with pat

A telegraphic dispatch from Wash
ington appeared in one of Atlanta pa
pers a few days ago to the effect that
Congressman W. G. Brantley of this
city, had announced that he would be
in the race for the United States SEN
ate, opposed by Senator Bacon, but
it appears that the statement was not
authorized by the local congressman,
who says that he never made any
such statement and refuses to fur
Their discuss the matter.
The following special was sent out
from Washington yesterday on the
subject:
Representative William G. Brant-
ley positively denied last night that
he had made any statement for pub
LEGATION in reference to the Georgia
senatorial election. He would not dis
cuss the report that he expected to be
in the race. When told of the story
published in Atlanta, he said:
81 have authorized no such state
ment, and will not discuss the mat
ter
care you even considering such a
mover he was asked.
I have nothing to say he replied.
'Mr. Brantley last year earnestly
was solicited to enter the race for
the senate against Mr.. Terrell, but
declined to do So He has received
similar letters this year urging him
to offer for the senate, but has given
no intimation that he would consent
to run against Senator Bacon.
"Mr. Brantley has accepted an in
vitation to speak in Boston on Feb
ruary 81, before the New England Iron
and Hardware association, composed
Of hardware men from all the New
England states. Since his impromptu
address in New York last December
before the Pennsylvania Society of
New York, when the ways and means
committee of the house was the spe-
cial guest of honor, Mr.. Brantley has
received several invitations to make
speeches, but has declined all of them
up to this time"

Brantley Has Not Announced That
He Will Be in RICE For Senate

The following is the story sent out
from, Washington several hours pre-
vious to the one printed above:
Washington, D. c. = Congress-
man William G. Brantley of the
18th district, will be candidate for
the United States senate in opposition
to Senator A. o. Bacon, according to
persistent gossip among members of
the Georgia congressional delegation.
Mr.. Brantley himself declined today
to discuss the rumor of his probable
candidacy, but it is believed he will
make a definite announcement of his
purpose in a short time.
1t is known that many of the con-
CHEESEMAN'S friends in Georgia have
urged him to become a candidate for
the senate, and it is stated that the
persistence and the number of these
solicitations have appealed strongly to
Mr.. Brantley.
Although Senator Bacon's term of
office doesn't expire until March 4,
IT., the primary for the nomination
of his successor will be held this sum-
mer. H. H. Perry of Gainesville, has
already announced his candidacy for
the senatorship. The entrance of Mr.
Brantley would, it is conceded, insure
a lively canvass and a thorough
stamping of the state.
The rumored candidacy of congress
man Brantley will be read with much
interest in Georgia and its publication
in Atlanta will undoubtedly attractc
wide attention among the members OF
the general assembly. Indeed, the
very fact that the circulation of the
rumor is SO we'll timed as to find pub
licity during the meeting of the as
semoly Is regarded as highly signifi'
cant.
Mr. Brantley has many friends in
the present assembly, as was indi-
acted during the session last sum-
mer when he received several compli-
mentary votes when Senator Smith
was elected.
The votes were given to the 18th
district congressman, though he was
in no sense candidate at that time

JAS. S. WRIGHT VICTIM
OF A SERIOUS ACCIDENT
Fell in His Front Yard Thursday
Night, Breaking Leg.

James S. Wright, the well-known in.
|surance man, is confined to his home
on Halifax square as the result of a
very painful and serious accident
which occurred Thursday night.
Mr.. Wright, it seems, had steuued
out in the front yard to shut off a
water spigot, when he stepped in a
small hole and fell. In the fall his
leg was caught in a peculiar posi-
ton and the member was broken just
below the knee. A physician was at
once summoned and the injured leg
was at once set, and while Mr.. Wright
was reported resting easy yesterday,
he suffered considerable pain from the
accident and it will be some time
before he will be at his office.
