" II
VI designer, is back with US again after u
stay. of nearly two months in the north, dur
ing which time she has been visiting in the
interest of this firm the most important
millinery establishments of that section
During the last two weeks of Miss Bourne's
stay her time was almost entirely occupied
attending the grand openings of New York's
most Understandable millinery empori-
ums. The importance, to one in the trade,
of visit to these openings can be appre-
ciated when it is known that only the
cream of New York's society are favored
with cards of invitation, and these must be
presented at the entrance to those establish
ments, or the visitor. no matter what her
social standing may be, is debarred from
entering what seems to be considered q
consecrated spot Our Mr.. Altmayer, with
characteristic shrewdness and foresight,
noting the advantages that would accrue to
the patrons of this house, procured, after
no small amount of trouble, invitations for
Miss Bourne TO visit these establishments
ON opening days. The fruits of this knowl-
edge gained by personal inspection of
what is really considered high art in millin-
cry Miss Bourne proposes to exhibit to the
Savannah public at our GRAND OPENING
ON MARCH oath and 25th. Exact
counterparts of the most popular styles,
together with our import ition of French
patterns, for this season will be on exhibit
ton.
Speaking of exquisite bonnets, said Miss
Bourne, II tnink the most elegant of all l
saw while attending the openings was Il
dainty little French pattern made of real
point lace and forget-me-nots, and finished
off with narrow black velvet ribbons.
The exquits lovliness of the trims
ming seemed to dazzle and attract
all visitors. 1t was marked sold
having been purchased for the modest sum
of $50.n Miss Bourne promises to make an
exact copy of this beautiful bonnet for our
opening, using instead of real point lace
quality such as no one can fail to admire;
the price ill not be over $40; quite differ
ence. It's an old a6age that every seven
years style repeats itself, and the beautiful
Scotch Plaids for trimming that were so
popular several years ago are again the
favoIites. These picturesque effects were
given impetus by the marriage of the Prii So
cess Louise with the Earl of Fife, who is OF
the Macduf clan. As bit of apprecia'ive
sentiment the princess had several bonn Q IS
in her wedding trousseau trimmed in the
Macduff Plaid, and of course the fashionable
world followed suit
It's the elegance, the completeness, the
general superiority of assortments over past
years that will tend TO make this the most
important Millinery season in a decade.
