Matchlcss beauty of n Spring Opening u
Corl, Knott 4 Co.'S

The extensive show rooms of Corl,

ladies called thither by the announce
ment that the annual spring opening

decorated with a confusion of multi
colored fabrlcs, arranged IN q Jewilder-
ing maze of fantastic and artistic forms,
displaying with wonderful effect the
scope ana variety OF the we'll nigh end
less stock of seasoaable conceits. The
crowd surged nlo the brilliantly lighted
salesrooms and losiled one against the
other IN merry abandon, all intent on
seeing and examining the principal foa-
lures of the exposition OF spring goojs.
The proprletors had though.fuily
PROVIDED music for the occasion, aad
It's wtching melody served 10 keep
everybody IN the best OF humor. Not
only this. but each visitor was served
with delicate lunch and made TO feel
SO comfortable that the time for clos
ing was regretfully looked forward too.
In every respect the opening was one
OF the most finished, complete and
elaborate ever undertaken in the city.
and the firm may he justly proud OF
the high opinions expressed by those IN
attendance. Many were unable To gain
admittance, owing 10 the crowd that
already packed inside, and TO give all
an equal chance, the opening will bc
continued this aud tomorrow evenings.
