eSsoey WAS ICO-iCttCI
Millinery day here. Sunny
skies, mild atmosphere, and
the most remarkable collection
Of Spring Hats and Bonnets in
the world, brought an over
whelming crowd Of guests. A
growing feature Of the opening
occasions" is the number Of
Merchant and Millinery visitors
that want to know the what and
the how Of it.
In fact our Millinery Parlors
have come to be a sort Of school
Of instruction in the arts Of
making and displaying Mill
nery Goods. A trade-shrine.
Our ability to teach the trade
proves leadership, and that's all
you and we care about it.
You were unable to come
yesterday. Don't be discour-
aged about it; to-day or to-
morrow will do equally well.
The great Millinery spaces are
all insufficient, and all the va
cancies created by yesterdays
sales are filled to-day with
equal attractions, And so the
show is sustained at par and
the interest never flags. The
early Easter this season forces
the Spring Bonnet question.
You may have more peace Of
mind if you meet the question
promptly.
The East Transept is gay
with brilliant ribbons, the long
counters just back Of the rib
bon cases are a very Summer
garden of flowers, and the
great space adjacent are full of
Untrimmed Hats and Bonnets,
and children's head-rigs.
There are choice things
among them that must be
picked up now or missed for
the season. Paris has sent her
choice shapes untrimmed and
and the flowers with which to
adorn them. The assembly
principle Of manufacturers can
be applied to your Spring Bon
net. The component parts are
all here. You may bring them
together according to your own
taste. Pride in a Spring Hat
is natural. There is pride and
pride, pride Of purchase and
selection, Of taste and choice in
a hat full trimmed there is
pride Of creation and construc-
ton, Of frugality and self-con6-
dence in the hat made by the
wearer. We serve you in
either way as you may choose.
Not less important are the
other shows. Ladies Wraps
and Costumes, Girls Frocks
and Overgarments, Small Boys
Kilt Suits, Infants and Small
Children's Dresses and Goats,
in all Of which the exhibition
surpasses the entire past. They
all remain for your entertain
ment during the Millinery Re.
ception.
Much interest centres in the
Ladies' Eton Jackets. The
snug-htting roundabout of the
Eton schoolboy comes to more
graceful uses than the service
Of lads Of variable, possibly
clumsy, proportions. Not only
the Jacket, but the Henley
S,irt, with either standing or
falling collar, and the sailors
black silk tie, make a rig essen
TALLY boyish, but stylish withal.
These outfits are high in Eng
lish favor for house-boat excur-
sions and regatta days. For
the latter the Henley Shirt is
often replaced with a blazer
bearing the colors Of the favor
ite club. So here as the jolly
parties Of the coming Summer
brave the dangers Of the raging
canal will the Eton Jacket and
accompaniments be much in de-
mand.
The Figaro, sort of Zouave
Jacket, smacks Of the modern
Greek or Albanian. To sleeves,
a hook at the neck, and falling
away in front, some black cash
mere with embroidery Of same,
some cloth rich lwith gold,
others velvet and gold bring
Byron's heroines Of the South
to mind. The Jackets are $40
to $35. The poetic association,
gratis.
