The "opening at Maj. Newton's beauti-
full store on the 11th and 18th inst. attracted
very large attendance of ladies each day,
and was one of the most splendid displays Of
Millinery and Fancy Work ever presented
in Staunton. The artistic taste with which
the hats were trimmed, and the charming
blending of colors. captured even the unso
phisticated, and we may Judge by that what
effect they would have upon the ladies them
selves. In truth, we never sec a pretty,
neatly arranged hat, unless we want to OBJ
serve it upon pretty, modest girl, and the
first impulse is to feel in the pocket to know
whether that will justify the wish being
gratified. These Openings" always speak

for people to attend them. The sales fol-

what rich combinations, good taste, and a
