THE FASHION.

| OF the the recently opened establish
| ments. ''The Fashion," No 203 North
Main street, is among those particularly
worthy of mention. The proprietors.
| Messrs. Rosenheim & Nathan. are enter
| prising, wide awake young business men,
and their intention is to carry an elegant
and complete line of goods. They viii en-
| deavor to have all the newest things just
as soon as they are out; this is. in fact. one
of the features of their store to which they
call special attention.
The store room itself is newly fitted ur
and furnished, and everything within it Is
new, not piece of old stock TO be seen.
One of the first things to attract atten-
| ton upon entering is the unique arrange
nlent for the display OF the ribbons
shelves built in form of steps, upon which
the ribbons are displayed to an excellent
| advantage.
| Among the novelties shown were some
| of the new la Tosca" parasols with their
massive sticks and elegantly wrought and
carved silver heads In this line are al
| the latest and most fashionable patterns
| Side combs in real shell, some beautifully
| tipped in gilt were shown. A new ship
ment of beaded wraps had just been re-
ceived and was very full and complete.
| In Hading wells and Anderson soaring
| were all the most varied and beautiful
patterns in both black and white.
| The Anderson linen collar is one OF
! the latest novelties and at the
same time one of the prettiest
piece of neck wear ever made. Plastrons
embroidered in gold and silver worked
dc
plinments from the lady to whom they
was shown.
The hosiery department is very complete
embracing the finest goods. The latest
novelty in these is the "raZzle-daZZle. OF
gloves they carry too, very full line of
many makes new to this city. They are
not only made of the best material, but
also perfect in fit.
The embroidery department is well
worth an inspection by the ladies.
All the latest novelties in laces,
fancy braids and ribbons were
shown. There are embroidered kerchiefs
in all different styles for hat crowns;
elegant fancy embroidered crepe lace, rich
gold lace and many other exquisite novel
ties. Ruchlng, lace mits, shoulder lengths,
and in opera colors are shown.
Flowers have become quite fashionable
for trimming and the stock carried is a
very fine one. Among the richest are the
sprigs of rose buds, half blown roses,
violets, cherry blossoms, wild roses, popies
and french piquets which are used in COM
bination on bonnets, and buttercups. The
assortment is as fine as can be seen in the
state.
The millinery department of
the establishment is one to
which special attention is called. 1t is
under the supervision of Miss Robinson,
an accomplished and artistic thinner who
designes her own work and used no pat
terms in her trimming. The elegance of
her work shows for itself. Of the hats shown
one was Toque, street hat. trimmed
with old rose and gold, velvet lace tips
and ribbons. Another beauty was of the
same style with combination green gold
and white lace, trimmed with daisies.
Miss Robinson also called attention to a
new shape, ''the butterfly" trimmed in
black lace and crushed roses. A silver
gray straw, trimmed deliberately with
gold lace, green and white ribbons
and shaded tips of the same tint was very
pretty. Two of the most elegant evening
bonnets ever shown in the city were two
that Miss Robinson had just designed.
One was of scarlet crepe, deliberately
trimmed with gold lace, white velvet, roses
and French piquets. the other was made
of canary-colored crepe, same tint of lace,
purple violets and ribbons
There are, too, carried a large stock of
hats in the latest styles and
shapes. In two weeks display of French
patterns of millinery will be made.
