NG FRIDAY, MARCH U. 1902 EASTER OPENING Spring and Summer Display of Millinery and Dress Goods at Render's. IT COMMENCED YESTERDAY. Will Not End Until This Evening and La dies of Wilmlofton Are Cordially Invited The Latest Crea tions in the Art. The large department store of Messrs. J. H. Behder&Co. has always been famous for its magnificent mil- finery and dress goods displays but if one event has surpassed another in beauty or elegance of styles shown it s the grand Easter opening of 1902, which commenced at 10 o'clock yes terday morning and which will con tinue until 7 o'clock this evening. Yesterday there 1 was a throng of visitors in all departments during the entire day and last night the crowds were simply immense. Ladies came to the store, saw ! the hundreds of pretty things and went away i to tell their friends. The result was exactly what the enterprising people who rnn the store expected and that accounts for the hundreds of dainty creations and artistic displays that are made for the admiration of the gentler sex. Of course there is a prevailing style in hats each year ; they may be extreme as to size, extreme as to color, or ex treme as to trimming, but there is always the modifications of these styles, that prevent conformity, and admit of all women being in the fashion if they have taof enough to adapt the fashion to what is becoming. This year, however, the fashions are not extreme. They are less so than at any time for many seasons, and there : is no reason why all women no mat ter what their individual type may be should not have something distinct- i ly becoming and still be in style. ! Rebder's millinery parlors include them all, among the leading! styles this year being the "Continental," the Marquis," the "Napoleon," the Prince Henry," and a hundred and one others all "too beautiful to talk about, a rapture to be dreamed of." The millinery department has been converted this year into lan ex quisitely beautiful garden ( scene, the design of Mr. Carl B. Beh- der, the enterprising junior mem ber of the firm, and Mr. E.. Clayton Moore. Southern smilax festoons the walls, while the general decorations are roses, Easter lilies, palms and potted plants. Pretty little j canary birds, sweetly - singing, and hung in cages in different parts of the room, add to the splendid effect. 1 To the right, near the rear of the millinery parlor, is a pretty little retreat for those who might possibly be prosaic enough to become tired of feasting their eyes upon the dream of beauty-land. It is furnished with rustic settees and the entrance is a magnificent floral arch, with suspended crest studded with roses and multi-colored electrics. Miss Sarah Gardner Is the supervising milliner of the store and she is assisted by six regular adept trimmers and salesladies. Elegant quality, expert workmanship and superior taste are shown! in this yesr's opening, and the Parisian crea tions exhibited are simply lovely. The copies of these, the New York and London pattern hats, and the exclu sive conceptions of Behder & Compa ny's own work rooms, show an artistic touch to be envied. The window displaya are exception ally pretty, one to the right! of the millinery door being a Spring pond scene, the creation of Mr. . Clayton Moore. j The dry goods display this year is perhaps next beat to the millinery, although all departments are on "dress parade," to use a military expression. The dress goods' section of the large store is under the yery efficient man agement of Mr. Claude Morse, a man of great experience, who is assisted by Mr. Bobert Bowden. The walls and ceiling of this department are draped with figured dress goods. The effect is very beautiful, though hardly de scribable. In wash fabrics, which are extreme ly popular this season, Mr. Morse has an excellent display, of mercerized chambrays, all . shades; satin-striped batiste, lace striped batiste, Parisian figured satin-striped mulle, silk and wall challies. In silks the line is especially beautiful and serviceable. He has black Marie valour silks, a beautiful line of plain and fancy striped Shantung goods, black Peau D'Soieand Armure gros grain and faille and Satin Duchesse. In black dress goods the stock consists of the celebrated gold medal line, Pebble Eudora, royalette, Shark skin pebble armure cloth, black batiste,r tamis, Swansdown.whip-cord, all wool poplin clay worsteds, ete. In colors the line consists of pan broadcloths, Venetian cloths, cheviots, serges, pebble cloths, satin prunella, tamlse and many other varieties. A visit to this department will secure the personal attention of Mr. Moore, who will appreciate the call. -- ! Last evening from 8 to 10 o'clock splendid music was discoursed for the enjoyment of visitors. ' f To-day members of the firm, Mr. Anson Alligood, the capable head salesmen In the store, and his 36 clerks most cordially, invite the public to visit them. ! ' '- - - & (15 Pattern Hats at $8.50 at Bender's Grand Opening. -: : : . t The Polvogt Co. will present to each visitor on next Tuesday evening at their opening , souvenir. : ift t 1902. EDUCATIONAL MASS MEETINQ Residents of Delgsdo Were Addressed by Superintendent Catlett Yesterday. Money Raised for Library. An interesting educational meeting was held in the chapel at Delgado Mills yesterday afternoon, the object of which was to arouse tbe people of that enterprising little village to the neces sity of sending their children to the very excellent public school conduct ed in their midst by Misses. Augusta Wiggins and Ueba Myers. - There are now 50 or 60 pupils enrolled at the school but there should be a hun -dred or more and it is the purpose of the local committeemen to secure a much larger attendance during the Spring and Summer months, if pos sible. The District Committee"' consists ' of Messrs. J. M. Barr, James Ezzell and James Lord and Mr. Barr was chair man of the meeting yesterday. The exercises commenced with the singing of "Carolina," Prof. Catlett, the county superintendent, was present by invitation and was introduced by the chairman. , Prof. Catlett made a ringing address along educational lines and it was well received by those in attendance, v A movement was started for the es tablishment of a library at the school and $15 was easily raised. The school will use $10 of the amount by apply ing for one of the rural libraries fur nished by the State. The exercises came to a close, with the rendition of a charming solo by Miss Barr, daughter of Mr. J. M. Barr. Tbe community was very much aroused as to its educational needs and much good will no doubt result from the meeting. COMING OF JOSEPH MURPHY. Lesdiog Refined Irish Character Come dian Next Monday Evening. Mr. Joseph Murphy, the leading refined Irish character comedian in the most successful play ever written, "Kerry Gow," will be the rare attrac tion offered at the Opera House next- Monday evening, St. Patrick's Day, the 17th. Of the second night's per formance of Mr. Murphy in Norfolk, the Virginian-Pilot of yesterday says: "Joseph Murphlr closed his Norfolk engagement last night by presenting onaun Jttnue' at tne Academy of Music. Mr. Murphy, as usual, was the bright particular star. His song. 'A Handful of Jfiartn.' atlne rise of the curtain," was beautifully rendered. Miss Jeanette Ferrell, as 'Kate Dono van,1 proved herself an excellent actress, and won well merited ap plause. The rest of the company is above par. "The play, like 'Kerry Gow,' is an Irish comedy-drama, purely Irish, and of intense heart interest. It held the audience last night from start to finish. Although, as before stated in these columns, these plays are now in their thirtieth year, they seem to have lost none of their attraction." FIRED PISTOL IN REPLY. Mr. Charles Schnlken Surprised Chicken Thief and Was in Turn Surprised. Mr. Chas. H. Schulken, who keeps a grocery store at 1202 North Fourth street, had a very unpleasant experi ence with an unknown negro chicken thief Wednesday night. Mr. Schulken went in the back yard of his residence early in the evening to separate for the night a cow and calf that were in the lot. He heard some one stumbling over some old tin vessels ' that were under a shed near and called out to know who it was. A negro rose up in the darkness and fired a pistol at him for an answer. The negro ran before Mr. Schulken could get under cover and return the salute. . There was a chicken coop In the yard and Mr. Schulken thinks his un welcome visitor was out for "game," although none of the fowls was missed.
