A Large Number OF Ladies Call ut the
Millinery Stores To-day TO See the
Handsome Displays OF Winter
styles in Hats at E5onnets.
From the Saturday Evening News.
The weather could not have been more
auspicieus for an elegant display of
millinery, beth upon the streets and av-
enues and within the emporiums where,
to-day, the openings were made the
special matters of interest and the uni
versal topic of interest among the fair
sex.
The event was entirely satisfactory
to three establishments which had an
nounced their winter opening for to-day
and the other stores were also well pat
ronized by reason OF the special sttrac-
tions which called out the spectators
and purchasers.
AT MRS. PULMER's
there were tastefullY arranged on all
sides the large rolled beaver hats in
their trimmings of plumes and ribbons,
and in nearly every instence ornament
ed by bird, TO the almost entire exclu-
sion Of pldmes and the ornaments pecu.
liar TO last season. Noticeable was q
large gray beaver bonnet, with long
plumes, trimmed with fur and bearing
the inevitable birds head, and turban
of peacock blue with tips Of same color
and an old gold plume. The room waf
decorated with flowers, and two stands
of beautiful plumes stood gracefully
upon the top of the cases, the name Full
mer" appearing in flowers over the dool
a visit to
| MRS. BILLIARDS
and a glance about the room shows ont
the prevailing styles and the great con
trast over those of a year ago. Nearly
everything in hats and bonnets thi
winter is in beaver, plush and velvet
with now and then a felt One whit
beaver Of large dimensions, hand
somely ornamented by three lonl
ostrich plumes and several small
birds, was the object o
much praise. There were also ele
CANT bonnets in hunters greeu plush
and terra Gotta plush. The strawberry hat
and opera bOnnets Of plush and feather
of all shakes, the coquetish Tam O'Shau
ter caps and the Oxford hats were nc
lost sight OF by those who called. Mr.
billiard makes and trims all of the hat
and bonnets of which she makes spet
iality in her display, and the tast
evinced certainly entities her to tn
greatest credit as an artistic.
MRS. KIDDKR.
Mrs. D. Kidder, whose is the olde:
establishment in Emporia, makes a mo!
attractive exhibit. The room is elab'
rately decorated with both natural an
artificial flowers, vases, pictures, plaque
&C. A white chrysanthemum, with i
. hundreds of blossoms, excited much az
miration. The words "Welcome
above the figures 1892 appeared j
colors at the end of the roou
The picture frames of velvet and cur
osities from Old Mexico, ferns, grass
and Marsh Mary's" all added to suppl
ment the beauties OF the millinery d
partment proper. Here our formt
opinions are corroborated and the style
ornaments and trimmings of the whit
hats and bonnets of 1882 found to be
l above intimated. The bird hole
