IT LREADY We are beginning to plan
~ for grand opera. Everyone you
meet in the millinery shops is
asking
Have you bought your hats sor
opera matineeso"
And you see them al the silk coun-
tiers examining satins chffons and
all the pretty new things for evening
gowns. Lace are brought to lay be
side the materials, and we think Of
nothing else these days but how our
clothes shall be fashioned as best to
suit our needs and looks.
This is a social occasion not equalad
at any other time Of the year. From
all parts OF the country come friends
to visit during the festival week. it
rivals the Mardi Gras in New or
leans. and hostesses begin early in
the year thinking of what they VIII
do for their guests this season. OF
course, we are kept busy simply going
to opera But there are some who
want to he more than busy They
want 10 he going somewhere every
minute. and for these there have been
arranged two dinner dances on the
evenings there are no operas-one at
the Capital City Club on Thursday
and one al the Piedmont Driving club
Tuesday evening Colonel and Mrs.
W l.. Peel will have breakfast for
the opera stars on Wednesday, and
Friday they will give otto Kahn a
reception.
OF course. there will be supper par
ties at the clubs following each of the
evening performances ana the whole
of Atlanta viii be dining and suppng
and opera going for one whole week.
Numbers people who do not live in
Atlanta have engaged boxes and par
quet seats for the entire week. ! hear
that there will be at least 80 from

Y NE Of the newest designs for a

This most decorous sobriquet is
given the gown because of the shape
and size Of the hooded cape Of silk
and lace which distinguishes the style
OF the bodice
In reality, cardinals were worn by
our great great -grandmothers and
we're considered a most essential part
of their costume But the tiny cape
which bore the name is not really
worn, but only suggested by the shape
Of the bertha on the frock, which Is

Gray green silk Of an indistinct

gown and made more beautiful by the
addition Of an imitation point Nenise

ana her lessons in New York have
done all that was necessary for her.
Now that dancing Is such a rage, we

There is one girl in this town who
ought 10 lend her talents TO this good
cause--that OF teaching everybody
who doesn't knew all about dancing
how to do it. For she thinks she is
wonderful and there are some few
others who think so, too. Now, am

the subject. but ! will relate what I

why, we should be the ones to ask
the men to dance with us, and not
leave it to them. A man never speaks
to us first when he meets us on the
street. That is our privilege-to &C
knowledge acquaintance or not, as
we see fit How else can we protect
ourselves from unpleasant creatures?
Frequently some one breaks on our
dances that we can not abide and
we are helpless to change the situa
ton We have to grin and endure it,
While the other way around things
would be far better Women have an
intuition that leads them to know
who likes them and who doesn't. That

and would enable the girls to form
friendships that would be more to

Oiinaga is followed closely by some

cause. Military defeat. even disaster,

generalization for which no excuses
or explanations can be satisfactory.

as one OF the final counsels OF fiscal
despair. To-day's default approves that

That gives the lie to Huerta's recent
pretences that the bulk OF the nation
was loyal to him and that the erup-

There are certain places in Chicago
where you can buy $500 gown for.
500, or where you can get Worth or
Redfern creation at almost bargain
counter prices. These gowns may have
been worn two or three times. Some
OF them may never have been worn at

little second hand shops, which make 1t
possible for any woman to. become tho
owner of a dream at ridiculously low

her longing for one of these creations
by purchasing a gown that has been
worn at grand opera or at a fashionable
ball. The descriptions Of these gowns

Government Waste.

THE government wastes a battleship

coal to the Pacific coast" remarked
Rex Beach, novelist, at the Raleigh.
III there were not misapplication OF
the conservation idea in Alaska, every
ton of coal needed by our battleships
in the Pacific could be. mined in Alaska
at fraction of the present cost. l
had to look into the shipment of coal
and discovered that the cost Of trans
portation Of fuel averages about one
ton for every five tons shipment
"Open up the coal lands of Alaska,
and the people Of that vast Territory
will have an opportunity to develop
the ccun:rS al: Il .a.c- &C the
development Of all resources in Alaska,
but I do not approve the proposition
that the government at that time go
into the building of railroads. Rail-
roads will follow development. The
problem that must be solved before
railroads can be built is determining
where the development is likely to be.
A railroad might be built into the in
terror and then the fact discovered
that the country to be developed was
100 miles away. The government should
be ready to stand back of the railroad
building whenever developments do
point the way
THE mistaken policy OF Withdraw
ing the coal lands has greatly retarded
