especially in millinery and other
articles of dress that ladies desire

only to announce an Opening" in
any special line to draw crowd
This was demonstrated yesterday
when his millinery parlors We're
thrOnged with ladies anxious to
secure the best selection of the
prettiest and most fashionable as
SOrtment of millinery ever seen in
the city of San Antonio. There
was no need of window fake artists
to draw the crowd, as the plain adj
VertiSement and artistically deco
rated show window told their own
| effective stories.
| \ LIGHT representative visited
the Millinery parlors yesterday
and found it crowded with many
of our best and most charming la
dies who were evidently delighted
with the pleasing scene and the
artistic exhibition. The scene was
indeed one of unrivaled, and unus-
ual tlOreated SplendOr. The decor
ations consisted mainly of ever
greens in pillars and quadruple
arches, in which artificial flowers,
ribbons and laceS were blended,
baskets of artificial flowers, pretty
tables ladened with the various
styles of the millinery and lace and
curtains. The decorations were exc
cuted by Eddie Wolff. and are GER
tainly most creditable.
Miss Mile Matter, who selected
the stock, was in charge of the de-
| partment, and led the exhibition
of the goods to the patrons. There
were pattern Leghorns, in four
leading shades, with shaded ostrich
tips, shaded ribbons, gilt orna-
mentS and jewels-that will be
much worn in millinery this
season; - elegant plateaux of
chipped straw, with gilded straw
intermingled, and filigree edges
| and braiding, made to the shape
and beautifully trimmed the floral
hat, made entirely of flowers, deft-
ly placed on a wire frame, and
quite enchanting. There are also
many styles for young ladies and
| children. 1t would be impossible
to specify all the elegant novelties
presented, and none would appre-
ciate their artistic beauty without
seeing them. 1t may, how
ever, be safely said that all
the novelties of the season
in millinery are there. Many are
trimmed ready for wear, but there
are number of untrimmed leg
