Woman Matches Stockings

VEyOMAN, always prim in the

rule that is as inexorable as
that which requires her hat to match
her suit. 1t is corollary to the other
rule, since it holds that her hat must
match her suit and her hose must
match both. Conventional black no
longer occupies its once proud posi-
ton, but has given way to solid col

BRIGHT TRADE ERA
SEEN BY Ell. ADAMS

By E. L. Adams, President of the

1t is gratifying to the mercan-
tile interests of Atlanta and con-
tiguous territory that Atlanta

pOrtance of fostering more def
nitely commercial activities in
our MIDST. and l congratulate The
Sunday American on the inaugu-

| feel that this Is the time for
all agencies TO join hands for the
promotion of the financial grow tn
and development of the South
east. Providence is smiling on us
in such a way as to- doubly com
pertsate for the occasional dull
times in the past. Two great eco
nOmic problems have occupied the
public for years-the tariff and
currency A wise Democratic ad-
ministration has already settled
the first of these in the interest of
the common people" and prom
Uses a speedy settlement Of the
latter in favor of the nation rather
than in favor of Wall street.
Bountiful harvests, which are
bringing a good price, the settle
ment of disturbing political
questions, and unanimity in pull
ing together for the good of the
SOuthland-all these have com
bined to assure more than tenn
porary prosperity. The South, and
Georgia in particular, is enter
ing on a new era. Producers of
wealth-the farmers-are eXer-
cising more intelligence, and
thereby making two blades of
grass grow where but one grew
before"
If all the factors occupying a
place in the scheme of produc-
ing. assembling and distributing
our products will put a willing
shoulder to the wheel We shall
enjoy more good things than we
have ever enjoyed before.
The Sunday American can and
no doubt will be force in bring
ing this result, and I wish its
trade section all success.

Steele, who sells raincoats and not
umbrellas, the wearer of a raincoat
is entitled to respectful consideration,
because he usually has more or less
of a bank account, and the raincoat
as an institution has come to stay.

ton whether or not the advent of the

means that a larger percentage of

Hats To Be Smaller
And Less in Price

Here's good news for women
who are interested in buying new
\hats: Reduction in size and the
overproduction of hemp in Japan
and the Philippines have combined
to reduce prices considerably, &C
cording to Clarence b. Palmer,
manager Of the Max Kutz MILL
merry establishment
Hats that formerly wholesaled
at $3.50 to $50 dozen will here
after be SIP to SIS dozen Trim
ming will of course, run the price
up in the retail market, but Mr.
Palmer thinks the reduction will
obtain all along the line.
After four years OF larger hats,
women are to wear smaller and
smaller ones. The hat is first very
small and gradually grows very
large, when it drops back to small
again. Or it starts very large and
goes the other way, which is the
same in the end.
