SAY WOMEN TRAIL
MEN AS DRESSERS
NATURAL FEMININE DESIRE
FOR COLORS RESPONSIBLE
FOR APPAREL ATROCITY.

One by one the old theories are ex-
ploded
Since men discarded powdered hair,
silk brocades and ruff1es some few cen
turtles ago it has come to be univer-
sal belief that dressing up" was some
thing that was to be left almost ex-
clusively to the ladies'. 1t came to be
popularity accepted belief as a result
that the fair sex was also the better
dressed.
Now comes the president of the
Mems Apparel club to say that Amer
lean men are better dressed than Amer
lean women Not that the men are the
more hashy and easily discernble Of
the two Quite the contrary. Men are
the better dressed because they are
the more Conservatively CARRIED.
Men Like Quiet Colors
Man naturally and by instinct likes
quiet colors There are few Opportuni-
ties for him to make a mistake 1t isn't
the fault of the man that he sometimes
wears atrociouS neckties. His vulnera-
Bile point is his neck, the one point OF
color accent, and when this is mis-
used the fault can generally be traced
to his wife or generous but sensitive
Relatives whose gifts can not be con
signed to the waste basket" he says
Nor is the credit for the we'll dress
ed look entirely due to the man. The
style makers have something to say
about it.
Where Women Make Mistake.
Men" pointed out the club presi-
dent, have limited choice OF apparel
Women go wrong because they have
ali the colors Of the rainbow and all
the designs of the costumers to go
wrong on. If man picks a conserva-
tive suit pattern he can't get some
thing that will offend his color be
cause the suiting will undoubtedly be
suited to any complexion of male. On
the other hand, a woman's natural de
sire for pretty things may overcome
| her common sense and she will pur-
chase what might be a creation or
| someone else but an trocity on her"

CHAUTAUQUA COMPANY
LOSES FIRST ROUND
Local Citizens Win Fight on Demur-
rer in City Court OF Dawson.

rer in City Court OF Dawson.
Citizens OF Dawson who were sued
by the Redpath Chautauqua Company
on alleged breach OF contract won the
first stage OF the fight, when Judge
Edwards of the city court of Dawson
sustained their demurrer to the petition
of the company last week. The matter
will now go to the court of appeals, it
is understood, and if that court sus-
tains the lower court the case will be
terminated finally in favor of the local
citizens. If the lower court is reversed
the matter will come back for trial on
its merits.
Among other questions the demurrer
raised the point that there was a want
of proper parties in the suit filed, in
that the Margaret Tweedy class, who,
it was recited in the contract, was a
party to the agreement, had failed to
sign the contract and had not been
Joined in the suit. The matter was
argued before Judge Edwards several
weeks ago by Attorneys Wilkinson,
Jones ard Parks. representing the 10
cal parties and by Attorney Lippitt,
OF Albany. representing the Chautau-
qua Company. The court took the mat
ter under Amusement and handed down
a decision during the term of the city
court just closed.

and Harris over the appointment OF

FIVE years to pay treasury dehclt.
Failure to repeal tax equalization

Governor Hardwick's prepared state
ment is as follows:
Every citizen OF Georgia has the
undoubted right to freely express any
opinion with respect TO any public
matter or in criticism OF any admin
istration. national or state. The pres
ent governor is never restless or re-
sentful when any citizen exercises that
right.

cent statement | take it that the SEN
ator's statement is not a criticism OF
me so much as of the legislature, as
| urged upon the Legislature the adop-
ton OF the very reforms that he men
tionsS- and it is my earnest hope that
at its next session, when practically all
of its time will not be absorbed in an
effort to solve the states financial dit
hculties, these things may be accom-
plished.
Urges Patience.
in the meantime, | can only urge
upon the senator to be patient. | think
he will learn from his service in Wash
ington that he will not be able to &C
Complish all he would like to accom-
p1ish there, and that he certainly will
not be able to do so right away In
like manner the governor of this state
can only urge these reforms upon the
legislature and upon the people. He is
not the boss of either.
The present administration is, of
course, not perfect, but it has done the
best it could in most difficult situa-
ton, and | am day after day giving
an account of my stewardship direct to
the people, prepared to both justify and
defend it against all Corners"

No More Moustache Cups.

1t is announced by THE Sun that
another institution has gone the way
of the great aux and the dodo. The
moustache cup is extinct. A person
who wished to buy one last week
called on the crockery stores In vain.
The younger set of clerks behaved
unknowingly; the older men smiled
sadly and shook their heads.
Back in the sos home was not
home without a moustache cup.
Father. whose lip draperies were
enormous. received one at Christmas.
Brother WILLIAM found one beside
his plate. placed there in derision by
younger brother or an older sister,
a week after he started his first
'stache.
Some of the cups were strangely
beautiful, what with their curly
cues and gold lettering. They We'd
with the gorgeous shaving mugs
which the BARRIERS OF the period sold
at outrageous prices to vain patrons.
There was always dispute as to
whether the china bar was to keep
the moustache out Of the coffee or the
coffee out of the moustache. 1t does
not matter now, although archaolo-
gists may argue the matter in future
centuries If they find one Of these
cups in the excavations scientists
will make in 5000 A. ID.
other masculine things of the Vic
torian age are gone or passing. Con-
gress shoes are rarely seen, even in
the side street show windows. Their
devotees may have them made to
order. The present generation may
not know what Congress shoes were.
They neither laced nor buttoned; they
had elastic webbing in their sides,
and we're slipped on as boots are.
Bootjacks are kept alive only by the
god of war; you see them advertised
in the army journals. Hair oil and
that necessary evil, the antimacas-
sar, disappeared with the gold tooth
