If the weather clerk had made it
to order WolfsOn could not have
had a more delightful day for his
magnificent 'opening" than he was
favored with yesterday. The good
ly city wore her brightest smiles,
and so did her dry goods king, as
he moved with his usual watchful
unObtrusiVeness among the throngs
of ladies who filled every depart
ment of his vast establishment.
The window decorations were
poems in form and color, particu-
larly the one on the left of the
main entrance to the dry goods
department, in which was
most artistically arranged the
latest creations of the
MILLINER'S SKILL.
Beautiful as was this display it
was eclipsed by that in the parlors
on the second floor, which were
the center Of attraction, the as
cending and descendin g stream of
delighted sight seers taxing the
capacity of the elevator to it's ut
most. The leading style this fall is
plaque, trimmed in velvet and
satin ribbon; the leading shades
are black and white, brown, green.
Whites are much worn and reds
somewhat. Shaded plumes, aigret-
ties and quilts are also conspic-
uous among the trimmings. Some
elegant pattern hats were shown;
one in green velvet and yellow felt,
scallOped, yellow pompOn and
green aigrette was greatly admired;
another, a white plaque, white sat
in ribbon, white aigrette and quilts
attracted much attention. An ele.
CANT jet tOque, white satin rOsettes
edged with jet, was "perfect love
of bonnet" The display in miss
es and childrens' hats was exceed
ingly pretty.
IN THE CLOAK ROOM.
More space is required in this
department, as the display is
somewhat cramped, detracting
somewhat from it's effect. Not
withstanding this the complete
ness of this stock is very apparent.
All tie leading styles in castOrs,
beavers, broadcloths, and ladies
cloths, are shown, trimmed in fur,
also plain and braided. An ele-
CANT line of capes is en- evidence
shoulder capes, collar and double;
pretty tan goods in black and gold
braid; Eaton suits in tan, blue
and black: blazer suits in the
same; REFERS for the children, in
every shade and at almost any
price. These goods are a marvel
of cheapness, bought especially for
the hard times, when the eastern
market was at its lowest. In mat
ters of price this is no new thing
with WOlfsOn, who always gives
his customers the benefit of the
lowest purchasing market.
AMONG THE DRESS GOODS.
The display counters of this de-
partment present an endless va
riety of the best productions of the
foreign and domestic looms. All
