butterflies, vet the season has been
backward that every one has put off H.
getting of summer things, and conseoue,,
" the openings are latter than usual b.
having once commenced, one house NJ
follow another, and it viii not be lo-. |
before we shall be in perfect whirl
preparations for summer campaiguir,
Browning, Pickett 81 Co. have led 4
their opening days being Tuesday an:
Wednesday of this wesk. On Tues5s,
the weather was as bright az could hsr.
been wished, and everybody was IN hig
good humor. The pleasant, tasteful roog: |
were well filed, people were coming an
going all day, and there were so NAM
pretty new things TO admire. In fact. I
kept one in perpetual state OF breakis,
the tenth commandment, looking !,
the array of lovely hats, and tempting Boz,
nets. for even bonnets were a template
there. Although hats do not differ mater.
ally from the last winters shapes, yet /,
bonnets there is decided change. IT,
two shapes that seem to be most In faya
for spring are the gypsy and eottags
These are mostly in straws, with triu.
mings of crepe de cltene, ribbon and fOwss
Among the novelties in bonnets Was
English chip of the gypsy shape, trimu&
elaborately with black gr0s grain ribb@
passing over the top with large bow
the back, bunch of wild flowers place.
high on the top, and falling IN cordons
flowers and grasses over the LETT shoulde
the brim was flowing and was faced Wit
royal scarlet velvet, which had fall 81
thread lace over it, softening the inteB
sity of the coloring, and kept in place By
four Jet balls which were pendant iron
the edge Of the brim and just lay on "a
hair when the bonnet was on. l.. was
very striking, odd-looking bonnet, ana
would be particularly pretty and suitable
for brunette. Another gypsy, which
was greatly admired, was of French straw
trimmed very simply with dehcai.
shade of blue. Bands of inch wide rib
bon came from the brim over the crown
and were ornamented directly in the bach
with bows of the ribbon. On the tor
were punches OF blue cassia flowers, droop.
ing low on each side. The fiaring brim was
completely filed with very full ruching Of
blue silk, pinked at the edges. Among
the noticeable bonnets of the cottage
shape was one of white chip, trimmed
unite plainly with pleated ribbons of buH
and black. This bonnet was bent dow
in front, fitting closely to the head, and
left no room for inside trimming. S1I
another was of lavender Grape, made over
silk of the same shade. 1t consisted q
one large puff, crossed in the center by
fine wreath of lavender flowers, the puff
higher in the front than at the back, and
trimmed with an edge of blonde lace
One of the simplest and prettiest bonnets
there was of white chip, with a trimming
of buff crepe de cheTle, edged with black
thread lace. The crepe was made into
large bow at one side, high up nearly
the top. with long ends, lace edged, hans
ing over the left shoulder. On the othsj
side was a cluster of tea roses dropping
down nearly to the edge of the bonnet
the brim simply bound with black, and
made very elegant, striking head gear.
All the bonnets were trimmed grea'
deal, scarcely a square inch of the bonna
proper being visible. The hats are very high
in the crown, some of them quite brIgsnd.
ish in appearance and all stylish. One o.
the prettiest hats was a white chip of ths
shape called Claudia" high crown with
brim slightly rolling at the side and
pointed front and back. 1t was trimmed
with scarf of blue crepe de cite1le, with
fringed ends interviewer with black C,gs
grain ribbon. The scarf was gathelz;
into a large bunch bow at the leic side
and the ends were quite long. 4 buna
of fine blue flowers was placed IN frorl
high on the crown. Another hat. wbig
was particularly admired, was a D.
gray chip of the "Incroyable" shape. L
this shape one side of the crown Is higlev
than the other and the brim Is triuna5
upon one side and plain on the othzy II
had trimming of broad gr0S grain nh
bon the same delicate shade OF the Ia
with large bunch bow on the side, held
in place by broad buckle of fine cut r.,
a gray veil of Donna Maria game W.
fastened at the back in two or three put.
and hung in folds nearly to the depth Of
a yard. There was a "Cleaveland" IL
black chip, trimmed with a scarf or rea
thread lace, a nest of ostrich feathers il
the front, and quantities of narrow scarls-
velvet bows all around the crown This was
q very pretty hat for the early spring. Tbe
"Clesveland" differs but slightly In shape
from the Claudia" but the crown i &
little higher and more pointed, and The
brim trife more rolling. Two Engli.b
turbans in brown chip, were particularly
pretty luz Travelling OuG was LIlmuc4
with royal velvet, the brim faced with il,

plumes. The plumes high in front and
the ribbon gathered into a large bunch

wished. There was a very stylish baE /
hat there suitable for an elderly lady.

a quite wide straight brIm. 1t was trin-
med with lavender ribbon and a brigE
wreath of ivy leaves. Altogether, ths
opening was decidedly pleasant and sac
cessful, and Browning, Pickett & Co. at
to be thanked for giving the public 81
pleasant an opportunity OF seeing tbf-,
tasteful, pretty things, and the young
ladies who have charge of that branch a
the retail department, deserve a grea'
deal of credit for their uniform kindne-
and courtesy TO all visitors TO the ests5
