H. C. White, president of the Georgia Federation of Women's clubs, was conducted this afternoon at 4:80 o'clock. The presence of so many from every walk of life, expressing their grief over the death of this splendid woman, was a high but merited tribute to her worth. A large number of friends from Atlanta and other Georgia cities, and resentatives of the various clubs of which the deceased was a prominent member, were here to express by their presence the deep sense of loss experienced by their organizations.

The floral tributes were most beautiful, attesting the love esteem in which Mrs. White was held by all who knew her. Ag a tribute to the memory of Mrs. White the exercises of the State university were suspended during the while the city offices and business houses closed during the hour of the funeral. The Georgia Federation of Women's clubs sent a magnificent floral blanket that covered the casket, and the Georof the Daughters of the Confederacy sent wreath of lilies with the request that It be placed above a heart that always beat for bumanity.

The floral offerings of the university faculty, the Chi Phi fraternity and other organizations were lovely. The active pallbearers were from the young men of the university. the faculty and the univerThe honorary pallbearers, were from sity and close friends of the family here. The Woman's club, the D. A.

R. chapter, the Civic league, the church organizations and the Y. M. C. A.

had escorts of ladies present. A touching spectacle was the presence, following immediately into the church after the family, of her servant, some of whom had been in the service of Mrs. White for twenty years. The choir sang sweetly the hymn, "The Strife Is O'er." Rev. John D.

1 Wing, rector of the Church of the Incarnation, Atlanta, read the scripture lesson, Rev. Troy Beatty offered the prayer and Bishop C. Nelson, of the diocese of Atlanta, pronounced the benediction. The recessional hymn was "To All the Saints Who From Their Labors Rest."

Washington, January million packages were handled by the parcel post during the first seven days of the operation of. the system. according to figures prepared late today by the postoffice department.

The figures were compiled from reports received by Postmaster General Hitchcock from 1,594 out of the 1,650 postoffices having city delivery service and estimates made from scatter. ing reports of the remaining fices of the country. The returns show that, during the first seven days. 4,068,824 packages were handled in the city delivery offices which have submitted reports. Of this number 107,561 packages were insured.

As all of the offices were closed on new year's -day and Sunday, the reports cover substantally only five days. "Without exception" read Postmaster General Hitchcock' statement, 'postmasters are enthusiastic over the parcel post service and many of them have submitted with their reports, percopthe letters system by describing their the communities reception and offering suggestions for betterment of the service. Practically all postmas. terg report a steady Increase of parcel post business and that as local mer. chants and manufacturers become millar with the facilities offered, the rate of increase is accelerated." STATE OFFICERS WILL CONSIDER MOORE CASE Chairman R.

E. Davison, of the prison commission, will confer today with Governor Brown in regard to what course of action should be taken in the case of Enoch convict fro mthe Georgia' penitentiary, who. in a letter written to the governor from San Francisco, stated that he has surrendered himself to the state authorities, because he has reformed and wants to make atonement for his crime. No disposition of Moore's case can be made until he is again in the state of Georgia, but to send for him brings up a serious question of finance. "The funds for the maintenance of the commission and all the departments over which it has supervision," says Mr.

Davison, "are low and we have to operate on an exceedingly small margin. It appears that $300 is the least possible 81'm of money on which Moore could be brought back to this state. The bill for the transportation of prisoners is already running more than $10,000 per year. The bill for December alone was about $900." With nearly 300 more prisoners to take care of the prison commission is still operating with the same maintainance fund of $80,000, which it had in 1910, according to Mr. Davison, who took his office at that time.

There were then 320 prisoners, and there are today about 700. SALARY SYSTEM CASH PAID OVER County Gets- First Money der Operation of New Law."

Louis, Mo. Chamberlin-Johnson-DuBose Company Atlanta New York Paris The First Display of the New Hats From Estelle Mershon 20 E. 46th Street, New York The Styles That Will Dominate in the Florida Resorts Today Atlanta shall have her first look at the authentic styles of early. Spring Millinery--authentic because they are the hats that the millinery authorities have stamped with the stamp of their approval. They come to us from the little shop of Estelle Mershon, there in E.

46th Street, New York, where those who "florida" away the rough weather choose their hats. But it is a display that will be of interest to others than just those who are soon leaving for the winter resorts. For it shows the tendencies of the new season, it points the way of the spring fashions. And the styles are quite new and different from those you have known. The distinctive points are the new small shapes to be- worn pulled down close over th lead and usually tilted just a bit--you will say they are jaunty, chic, smart--and colorings are--well, let us quote from the style-letter sent from Estelle Mers on with the hats: "The combinations of colors are very vivid, yellow, cerise, and bright, sap, green are combined in flowers used on dark hats.

The effect is very beautiful. Dregs of wine is very strong, maroon, dark brown, purple and a new amber are prominent." Then further on the letter tells of the high line of trimmings -how the upright paradise and Numidie feathers and the long wings are shown on the smartest hats right now. But rather than read of the hats, see them just as they are with your own eyes. The display leaves you to choose freely and confidently from styles now declared authentic by those who reserve the right pass on millinery fashions. So come today to the display of Palm Beach Hats! Chamberlin-Johnson-DuBosc Company.
