M. MITCHELL AND COM
PANY'S STORE THE MECCA ' v
YESTERDAY OF LADIES. . -
:; Favorable weather and the display-
of fall and winter millinery ;at J.. :M.
Mitchell & Company's store yesterday
proved to be a combination which the
ladies of New Bern could iot resist
and in consequence the big store was
crowded all during the day.
For several weeks the force of 'clerks
at this establishment ,have been pre
paring for this occasion and even
before Miss M. . Johnson, the firms'
head milliner, returned from the North
ern markets where she went to inspect
a stock of fall and - winter head wear
for the ladies, preparations for the open
ing were in progress. ' '
Knowing this, i. it ; is"r little I wonder
that the interior of the store yesterday
presented a scene, the like of which
could -not be surpassed even in the
larger cities. : ' Before entering ' the
establishment one was' greatly impressed
by the attractive manner in which the
large display windows were decorated.
In these were found a number of un
usually . attractive hats, and all , who
passed that way stopped for a monent
to admire them. ,
Once on the interior of the store one
was greeted by a blaze, of light and
color which intermingled harmoniously
and made the scene one which will
never be forgotten by those who had
the . pleasure of visiting vthe , store.
In the front, on the helves and coun
ters, were the daintiest ; laces, - the
fluffiest chiffons, and the heavy, but
nevertheless -attractive - plushes : and
satins. Silks of every hue we're on
display, and . the newest designs in
ladies coats and coat-suits could not
but attract the attention of each visitor.
This department is in charge f Au
brey T. Walsh who has been with the
firm for several years, and the excep
tional - taste of he and . his' assistants
in designing and arranging this part
of the display won for them much,
commendation.
No detail in the decoration of the
store had been left undone. On the
walls one saw numerous costly paintings
and in front of the store, just over the
entrance, a camping scene had been
arranged. . This was especially attrac
tive and received much praise, c
The millinery department is in . the
rear of the store and there the hats,
small hats, smaller hats and medium
sized hats were found. , MissM. E.
Johnson is in charge of this department
and she is assisted by Misses Gaskill
and Bennett and the exquisit taste
shown by these ladies'' in designing
and executing the .many styles and
shapes seems marvellous to the mascu
line mind. Neverthejess they were
there and for hours the feminine popu
lation of the qity revelled in inspecting
the display, in fitting these on and in
making purchases. , , ' :-s
Small hats will predominate this
season and as for trimmings there is an
endless line -from feathers, to flowers
and from silks to satins and plushes
and in fact they look attractive tirmmed
in any manner and with any material.
As for colors there is mahogany, black,
blue,: green and rose. .These are the
most popular colors., but one can find
almost anything, for which hey are
in search. '
Among the display were several
j . I tn : '.ill-:,.
were gruatiy admired iw
! who tried one of them on
that it was just , the hat for which
she had been in search and many of
the hats on display were disposed of
during the day. V: - ?
The management of -the store had
announced that thirty dollars worth
of hats would be given away at 9 o'
clock last night to the holders of the
j lucky tickets and long before that hour,
anticipation - was intense, Finally
-th,e t)me for the drawing came. Sidney
Stern, of -Norfolk, was selected to draw
the tickets from the box.: The first one
drawn bore the name of Mrs. J. L.
Piner and she was awarded the five
dollar hat, the second bore the name
of Mrs. J, A. Patterson and slie was the
recipient of a hat valued at ten dollar
The third and last hat, valued at fifteen
dollars, was won by Mrs. E. H. Clay
poole. During the day -and evening
an Itiliaji orchestra furnished music
for the occasion. , ' : .i : ; . -V.
. W thout the least ' doubt the open
ing was a complete success in every
feature and the management of the store
feel greatly pleased with the results
obtained. , -
