ner of Whitehall and Alabama, at
which point he met a group of girls.
and was soon the center Of a laugh
ing group of inspectors and critics
OF "the new styles for men in autumn
headgear."
l. gather from inspection of the
well dressed men l have seen that
fact. that arrangement is as neces
sary to the correctness of a mans
hat this fall as the upward slant of
the brim on the left side is for wom-
putting on novel touches here and
there. and. foresee the time when
n man can't wear a suit or a hat
any longer than a woman can, and
be in style
Among the new hats worn by prom
inent young bachelors and benedicts
of the city l have seen several very
novel styles-all conservative, but
distinctive. There is a bright green
hat and dark green, q brown soft
hat, a new derby-but everyone has
a touch that stamps 1t Of the 1914
model. Oh, the designers are clever
yet. not so very clever, after all,
else they would have found out long
ago, that men are just as vain and
as "fussy" over the style and cut Of
their clothes are women are, and
if they find It obligatory to buy new
outfits every three months in order
to be in style, they will do It!

G AY, boys. I want to impress upon
you the necessity Of not put
ting yourselves in a position
which calls for heroism unless you
can produce the goods" My advice
is prompted by sad happening which
ended promising romance last week.
1t all happened at East Lake, on the
very last day that was warm enough
for swimming. A pretty girl, whom
most Of you know, was In the water
with her devoted swain-a young man
who had been going to see her a year
and whom the gossips had fastened
on for an October bridegroom.
Well, he went in swimming once
too often. The couple had played
around in shallow water for a while,
when the girl suddenly said, Lets
swim out to the raft?" The man hes
itated-and was lost. So the two
swan out safely Several of us on
shore noticed that the man had
panied expression on his face, as if
he was not exactly at home in the
water.
AS the two started back. the girl
became confused when she was about
halfway out and grabbed the rope
which connected the bcathouse with
the raft. At the same time, the man
grabbed the rope, too. and deep down
under the water went the two OF EN-.
Both came up sputtering. and the girl
caught the man around his shoulders.
BY that time, everybody on shore was
excited, and when it was seen that
they would both go under unless the
man could get his arms free, every
body stood up and gasped. He did
get free though. after a short but
fierce struggle, and then-he made for
the shore.
The girl sank again-and yet again
and the man reached the boat
house Then a young fellow dived
from the raft, swan out and caught
the girl who was almost drowned.
OF course. you know the rest, She
wouldn't even come back to town
with her hero C?) And there will be
no wedding bells for him this autumn.
.VTITH all the romances begun and
w happily ended in the summer
social record. I've heard OF one
which was broken before the season
closed. An Atlanta. belle. who was
rushed" considerably at a seaside re
sort by a very young youth who wac
reputed to be a millionaire, decided
or seemed to decide-that he would
do as a companion to walk down the
aisle with while the organ played
that MendelsSohn tune.
The young fellow spent money free
", and - freely talked Of his motor
cars yachts and fathers bank ac-
count. The Atlanta belle wrote home
and had her stay extended for a fort
night longer than she had intended
on the strength of her'prospects.
Before the fortnight was over, the
