MILLINERY OPENING- . .I."'..:' . "' " ' - V TREAT FOR . FASHIONABLE WORLD.. An Elegant Display of the Beauties of Spring Millinery and ' Fash ionable Wearing Apparrel. Last Wednesday evening-at 8:30 was the hour advertised by (; 'invita tions sent-out and by notice through these columns for the opening , at Messrs. J. A-Xong, I Son &. Go's, but long bef ore that hour arrived the people froth both the .town and country began to assemble and knock on the door for admittance; For the purpose, of preparing- for this event the store was ' closed in the afternoon. - It was an -affair that had been looked forwatd to by the stylish dressers as of - too much importance to miss, as they have long since7 learned that an ? opening here is one of the most pleasant occasions that occur in this town. When the doors were swung open they found a large crowd anxious ly awaiting; but wa ; are sure - the waiters had 110 perception of the beautiful sight which they beheld. This firm has made some magnifi- cient displays at their openings but we are sure that we do no one in. justice when we say that this was by far the most beautiful. Tire store was brilliantly ; lighted with their new lights, and in every direction you were, greeted - witH flowers, natural flowers with abund ance of bloom and perfume: As y6u entered to the right you faced an easel with one of those 'smiling pictures of rare beauty, while just beyond stood . the tall show . case with the . display ' of gloves : and handkerchiefs, mounted on top ;of which was a lemon tree with a large specimen hanging: to the limb; Passing these you came to the silk department It is surprising ; how deft fingers can arrange these; into folds and plaits and ; yet :. never a pair of scissors touch them. This , . .y :.. i ... . .: yj line is one of the strong points Tvith tins nrm and we suppose tnat is why a lady never thinks of ' buying her silks before seeing what they - have. Well this season- tney. are just as strong as of old and we doubt if many leave here when onc thev enter without makinsr their purchases. s Adj oining this came the all over Embrbide y.," . . Just here in the center on a pyr amid about two feet high stood the ;'Udy1n White." : This was a life sie lady dressed in white crepe de chine, trimmed in; applica. Just ,ov er her head hung the horse shoe, made of scarf pins,- saying . f'WeT come"; and the courtesies' of the attendants made you believe . that you were welcome- We do not know to whom the credit for tHe creation of the lady inv wiiite be longs, but we do know", that; who ever did it 'performed their work well, - Nothing in the house show ed off' the possibilities of the goos used to better advantage - than' did this figure, and- "after all that is what these openings are for. - . Passing 'along huriedly you pass the display of .ladies skirts, dressed figures hosiery and slippers. : Seems to us the-yare showing the largest line of ladies opera shoes- that we have ever "seen in this place, must expect, every one to wear them this season.,; All the latest cuts in' -all the most fashionable makes, includ ;, itig the new patent leather which is going to be so much worn by dfes sy folks this season.. Another display worthy of men tion was a large xircle hung. from the ceiling, covered with fans of ev ery. description; It was; strikingly catchy, but one serious mistake was made in it, had just thirteen ; fans on one side. Underneath this was a table 'artistically arranged with white goods, , laces. torchons arid embroideries. . - - - -. - - One side of the entire ' length y of the store "was- used' in displaying silks and other expensive" . dress goods', including both counters ' and shelves. "Streameis ran .along' the shelves, serving as a back ' ground for the finer goods, while here' and there was a; ' collection " of potted plants adding their mite, to; the beauty of the. occasion: - ' : But why dwell here when a scene pf lovliness awaits you only a few rods away. - Walk into the millli nery department. - Lrood iuck, yes double good luck to all who center here, for on either side of . you as you enter hangs a horse shoe,. ,The entrance as you are ' aware, is an archway, and fthls was" literally covered with artificial flowers, while rom the arch swung baskets of the same: , inside was a Dower oMove iness.. Miss Heartwell, ably as sisted by , Miss Carver, had . done their part to perfection ; and all that is;riew,v swell and fashionable in la dies' headweaf was to be seen here. The new styles are wonderfully attractive and air can" but . admire the new. shapes: ' ,.The much de spised high hat is a thing ;of the. past while the more desirable style the flat hat; has taken .its' place. Plenty;; of flowers aud ribbons, rich and gaudy, are used . "in the; mos pleasing manner , One of the hats especially attractive was a picture hat; Parissian effect; covered with the new Maline ' straw with roses and!ornaments of pearl. - In . this hat there was just twelve yards of lace one yard wide, and we. . were informed that it represented . three days work. Price $25.00, but you need not come running If or it Was sold. : One of the most catchy .hats on exhibition was a swell carriage hat in light blue and 'pear orna ments; and hundreds of ; others which no ; man would attempt to describe.' " . - J u , ; Of course everything was ready and a creditable display;. made in the men's department but , you would not expect- to . find things here as m the other departments. All in -all, ' it was the greatest oc casion in the history of their open ings and. they all :felt proud, as well they might, of the . part each had taken in making such a display.
