Even Mcintyre & Co.
MAGNIFICENT ANNUAL AUTUMN OPEN
ING THAT WAS ATTENDED BY THOUs
ANDs.
Even Mcintyre & Co. of New Haven
swung wide the doors of their spaciou!
and spiendidly equipped store last week
for their annual autumn opening exhibit
ton. Mr. Mcintyre is a practical opti
mist. To that end he has made prepare
tions, and every department of his big
store has been generously stocked with
the best and most desirable, which the
market affords. Reasonable prices rule
everywhere. Yesterday the store was
enlivened by palms and ferns, and every
counter displayed it's wares in the most
attractive manner. Particular fetching
in arrangement were the windows, with
their groups Of garments, their stunning
hats, their drawings of dress goods, and
shimmering folds of silk, giving an ex.
cellent, but far from comprehensive idea
of all that awaited the visitor who should
enter. Coming directly upon the ribbons
as one enters, one finds a bewildering
array of rainbow tints, in various weaves
and widths and lengths.
Everything is the Roman stripe this
year, and nearly all the ribbons display
is in different coIors. A new weave is
the two-toned ribbons in satin stripes
and q basket weave with thread of
black mottling the surface. Taffeta rib.
bons are also exceedingly stylish with a
border in peculiar weave. Beyond the
ribbons, the gloves hold sway. What
ever the size or shape of the hand, wheth-
er tapering and small, or generous and
apatulate, gloves to fit are here to be
found. McLntyre's gloves have a repu-
tation. The season allows for hand COW
ering greater latitude of colors than g.
usl. There are blues, navies and gobe-
Inns, greens Of different shades, some
purple and many reds. Red tans and
modes lead, however, save with those of
ultra tastes, or save where the gloves
ought, by every law Of harmony to
match the costume. The Maggioni glove
Is one Of the exclusive makes upon which
the store justly prides itself. Stepping
just across the aisle, one enters the realm
Of the harberdasher, and realizes that
while the women may form the larger
proportion of the visitors, the men have
been looked out for. The latest ties, col
lars, scuffs, shirts, cuff buttons, studs,
umbrellas, dress suit cases, gripsacks,
ETC., have been attractively arranged.
The lace department is another place
which demands halt in the procession.
1t is replete with the daintiest of laces
and embroideries. There are fascinat.
ing blouse fronts of crinkled chiffons and
pleated liberty silks, both alluring mate
rails being sold by the yard. There are
Jokes Of Duchesse, Irish Point, embroid-
cred mousseline do sole. There are all
sorts of lovely conceits for the neck, and
there are the newest of wells. By the
way, the woman Of mode, no longer
wears her veil covering her entire face.
It is simply assumed mask fashion. An
entirely new veil is called the Liberty
scarf veil. It covers the face, crosses in
back and tying in fluffy bow under the
chin.
In silks, as in ribbons, the Roman
stripe confronts you. The Roman plaid
is another new silk. Then there are any
number of tsffetas, for fancy waists
whole dresses for street or evening
wear, which show new weaYes, new
coloringa, new combinations. They are
all beyond description. You can't at
tempt portrayal of them. In the color.
ing, a new and bright blue, approaching
closely the electric blue of few years
ago appears. 1t is striking but comb ines
exquisitely with black. In black silks,
McIntyre's always has superfine assort-
