WOLFSON'S OPENING.
A Beautiful Dayand a Grand Dis
play,

pleasant. Hundreds of them took
advantage of the pleasant season to
visit Wolfsons, his advertised display
having attracted general attention
The immense establishment was
filled all day, and at times thronged
with the eager and delighted crowds
The center of attraction was the mil
linery display, but the other depart.
ments received the attention they
so richly merited. The millinery de-
partment was a perfect bower of color
eXquisitely harmoniZed and delicate
ly shading from one hue into another,
so as to simulate nature. The array
of birds and flowers was very artistic
ally displayed, and the taste mani
tested in the grouping and arrange
ments was the theme of unusual COM
| ment.
The milliners had very busy day,
| but it was pleasant to hear the genu-
inc expression of appreciation and ap-
proval which their work elected and
the sense of fatigue was lost in the
assurance of success. The bOnnets,
hats, feathers, flowers, birds, etc, all
came in for full share of praise, and
! long before the closing hours came,
the success of the display was demon
strated to the ample satisfaction of
the establishment
| Not less marked was the genuine
| admiration evoked in the eXamina-
ton of the hOuse-furnishing depart
ment which was thrOnged with a de-
| lighted crowd of practical house
| keepers, almost from the hour of OPEN
ing. The great variety of this stock
and the care and practical acquaint-
| ance with the hOusekeeper's needs
that was manifest i'm the selection all
called forth unstinted praise.
Through the whole range of furni-
ture for kitchen. bedroom, dining
room, nursery, parlOr and Office :;
through the carpet room, with it's vast
stores of floor coverings of all kinds up
stairs and down the throngs KEEP
coming and going until the dusk
deepened and the electric lights were
lit, when the whole establishment
shone Respondent as bride adorned
for her hus band.
Saturday was only the first Of these
"Grand Opening Days. Today and
tomorrow Monday and Tuesday,, the
same of Saturday will be repeated
with ever varying change and till the
close shall come, WOlfsOn will be as
untiring in patience, as fruitful in re-
sources, and as accommodating to all
as he was on the first great day of the
spring and summer opening. 2t
