That's the verdict we put
upon our announcements of the
present Millinery occasion.
Unjust to you and ourselves
in that we failed to state ade-
quately the claims of the Mil
linery upon your interested at
tention. Possibly our lack in
the "art of putting things" has
caused you to neglect a visit
that might have pleased you
much. 1t is not too late, and
you may enjoy coming more
than when the first rush of the
crowd was here.
Disrssbeei>M to ourselves and
our own people that we have
not properly sought public APP
probation for the great work
done for the season.
Ih Dicn. The 81 serve
of the Prince of Wales crest is
the unclaimed motto of this
business, with plus added.
How to serve you more is our
constant study. You find this
true in your football upon the
Wilton carpet of the Millinery
Parlor, and in the seats that
wait for you, and in the quiet
back room, where a lady may
sit and see bonnets by the
score, if SO disposed. How to
leave an agreeable impression
Of each visit here is the hourly
question. Vanity says it is
done in the Millinery.
Each selection made from
the stock on view is immediate
ly replaced by another fresh
from the accumulated store.
To organize Millinery victory
requires genius. A doughty
Massachusetts General once
taunted the Colonel of a crack
New York regiment with the
remark that he and his "whole
command were only fit tc
march up and down Broadwa,
for the milliners to look at.
Millinery and military c7naIJ
require organization. The fore
thought that prepares i'll ad
vance a fresh bonnet for eacl
departure and keeps the ranks
on parade full with individual
pieces, never any two alike, de
serves epaulettes, spurs, ane
stars.
Drop the trimmed. W.
might go on aa hhtHw. Come
to the untrimmed and the trim
mings.
There is fraud even in Mill
merry. Names are used to jug
gle with in Felt Hats. Yo,
see hats advertised as Amer
can felt, which is a mere tern
to conceal felted wool. w

WOOL Another term
French felt" is meant to ap
/. ply to fur felt. In that sense
is used here. A fur hat here
: French felt" a wool hat
WOOL But wool hats ar
sold by hundreds daily as tuI
and the fraud is only discovere
in the pinch of serving ice
Look out.
We divide the French felt
into families by color, a distine
table to cach-black, brown
blue, etc. All down this SCI

of interest. French Sailo
