tiyating, enhancing and bewildering.
The millinery department is under new
management and was never more at
tractive. The large hat with Napole-
onic effect is quite the proper thing for
this season Dresden ribbon and gor-
geous flowers seemed TO be the choice
for adornment of straw hats, and Ben
gale, fuschia, bluet and butter shades
predominant.
The separate skirt is shown in many
styles in the dress department. Here,
too, are waists which would enhance
the attractiveness of any skirt. The
capes are beautiful and the styles come
direct from Paris without modification
In the center of the new store is the
French lady" attired in a stylish waist
and skirt, her head adorned with a
white leghorn hat. She is standing in
a field of daisies, a basket of which she
holds in her hand The effect is very
pretty.
In the dress goods department there
is a maze of every conceivable kind of
dress goods, from which purchases of
large amounts were taken. There
seemed, however, to be no end to the
stock which was piled in heaps on the
counters and i'm the racks. Fancy silks
for Waists in peculiar shades of green
and yellow with glace effects, are most
ly in demand There is also great
sale of genuine French challis and or
candies, a pretty conception of cotton,
whose appearance is most gauzy and'
beautiful.
F. M. BROWN & co.
The millinery department in F. M.
Brown & Co.'s was thronged from the
time the store opened. Its display of
hats is large and splendid and in both
beauty and variety surpasses all pre-
vious seasons. The styles are direct
from Paris and most beautiful com
binations of ribbons, straw and flowers
are shown A delightful Napoleonic
effect is brought about in some of the
styles by the imitation of the military
hat, with gold and yellow trimmings.
A new walking hat. quite English,
is the London Fog" a straw sugar
loaf with black lace and jet trim
mings. The hat looks very neat and
makes a complete finish for tailor-made
gowns.
Singing merrily away from perches
among clouds Of ribbon and flowers are
pretty canaries in attractive cages.

outdoing the other. One in broadcloth,
with three insertions of jet and three
rows of ruching, chiffon collar, loop
ends and American beauty roses at the
