 The day has been an ideal spring one, and our people, especially the ladies, have taken advantage of the opportunity to come down town and take in" the Spring openings be- ing held by several of the leading Pine Bluff business houses. The displays are the handsomest ever made in the city and reflect credit upon the enterprise of our business men. The GRAPHIC, today, is forced to make brief mention of tbe openings, which continue for two days, but will take ooca>ioa later te refer to them.
 THE KAUFMAN BAZAAR
 Is one of the best known houses in Pine Bluff for fashion and style, and it's spring opening today is simply superb, from show windows to rear If the store, On approaching the store the eye is first attracted by the lovely show windows, one of which contains an artificial lake, ex- qusitely constructed. In the store is the rarest display of goods, shown in Q most tasty manner. The min iatufe representation of the Brock lyn bridge. made by Mir. George Kaufman, of table linen, is a beauti- fal sight, and attracts great atten- tios.
 The millinery department of this popular house is in charge of the Misses English aud Berwick, aud the display of millinery in their de partment is lovely beyond compare
 THE uoSNET DRY GOODS co.
 This immense dry goods store was crowded with people from an ealjY hour, who had gatLered there to view the magnificent stock and rare display made today, the occasion be- ing tbe annual spring opening Of the house.
 Rarely have our people been af- forded an opportunity to view a prettier scene. The stock carried isa large and magnificent one, and the display is one which does the EoGse credit. The millinery depart ment attracted the greatest atten- tion, and it certainly deserved the praise lavished on it. This branch of the great house is in charge of Miss Lillian Brown, who is assisted by four accomplished milljners. The light of day was excluded from the millinery department and it was illuminated by electricity, which gave an additional charm to the scene and brought out the vari- ous colors in all their beauty. The display this season eclipses all pre- yious efforts, and does our city and this firm great credit.

Toe store was resplendent with boauti- ful goods and rich and lovely coior5. The show windows for this occa sion were decorated by Messrs. Lee and Solmson, and were exceedingly handsome. Miss Rodgers is the miIliner in charge at Blum's, and her department is thing of beauty Tn it can be found all the latest styles in ladies hats and headgear

 The display made by the Golden Rule Store today is indeed most attractive, and drew an immense throng of people into it's doors. The stock of goods carried by the firm is a superb one, aad the prices for which the goods are being sold are in keeping with the times.
