 The reputation which E. Moses & Co. of S41 and S4S Chapel street have al- ways had in their successful business career for carrying first-class lines of millinery is fully sustained by the splendid display of spring headgear in stock. The opening, which occurred on immense throngs of the fair sex, and on all sides 1t was the opinion that the firms stock this year excelled that of any other season.
 They are showing a great variety of imported pattern bonnets end round hats, as we'll as those of their own art istic make. They are also showing large assortment of spring millinery novelties generally. The two large win dows are beautifully trimmed and hum dreds stop to see the lovely displays All their hats have a charm and deIi- cacy which show master hand. They have all the leading styles and the crowds which frequent their store give evidence that the public realizes this fact
 To attempt anything like a full de- scription of their line of goods would require almost unlimited space because of the great variety of designs shown. The entire appearance of the store serves to impress one with the idea that spring and summer are coming, notwithstanding the chilly weather.
 Among the hats noticed yesterday was a novel hat the Twentieth Gen. tury," which showed tendency to re- vive the high front trimming. The broad bow of soft white ribbon was covered with black horsehair braid Di- rectly in front was a bunch of white aigrettes finished with a rosette of rib bon and a rhinestone ornament Large punches of violets and leaves formed the garniture at the back.
 An odd little bonnet was made of six cones of satin braid Pleated maline and a jaunty bow of Nile green velvet, violets and foliage were used as garni- lures Long ties of black maline com pIeted this little oddity in lleadgear. sCtlll ttIloIIltI w dS b tilOSL StIlhlllS tldt, octagon in shape and made of maline. Black tips dropped gracefully over the broad brim, at either side, and the crown was made of gilt. Exquisite cerise poppies at the back gave the fin- ishing touch to this hat, which would look particularly well on stately bru- nette.
 Another artistic production was round hat with tfnsel the crown over- laid with jetted net, full double trim, with horsehair lace, aigrettes and vio- lets. A poke bonnet with jetted straw crown looked very pretty. It was sur- mounted with black plllInes and at the back were four American Beauty roses. Another sweet hat was a black sailor of dark violet straw trimmed with white lace, Jacqueminot roses and vio- lets, with a violet standing puff around the crown. A dainty bonnet had coronet front with horseshoe lace, trim med at the back with black and white aigrettes and capucine yellow roses in front But the beautiful capote of gold lace has a coronet of cream lace, the new heliotrope velvet, cream aigrettes with garniture of roses in back. This creation is intended to be worn we'll over the face with pompadour. A Louis XIV. hat in two-stone straw black and cream-has broad sweep ing plumes in side effect, with capu- cine roses under brim to rest upon the hair.
 Small hats for early spring wear seem very popular, many of them being made of square placques in Tam O'Shanter style. Flaring pokes with flower and | ostrich trimming and maline ties are also shown.
 Ladies bonnets are somewhat larger in size and are made special feature of here. They are of fancy straw braid, spangled and horniton trimmings, all . light, airy and becoming, with broad maline and velvet ribbons for strings Children's hats are not the least irn- portant to be found here in large num- bers. A pretty brown chip, with Tam ! O'Shanter crown, has very stylish fan | trimming of checked ribbon, with sey- ] eral shades of Monte Carlos daisies.
