This is the season OF fall openings
and New Haven's dry goods merchants
are as usual showing lines of goods
unsurpassed in the state and in fact by
few cmpoii ums in the country as re-
CARDS quality, quantity, variety and
reasonableness of prices. In all the big
Chapel street stores beautiful displays
of the fashionable goods of the season
are exhibited and are arranged most
artistical!y for color effects and design.
AT Malley, Nicely &, Co.'S the special
attractions are millinery, cloaks, suits
and dress goods. In millinery the show
is one OF the most complete to be found
in New England. II includes not only
all modish designs of domestic manu-
facture, but also the finest creations of
the Partisan milliners, including large
number of those beautiful French pat
tern hats. Among the styles shown are
those OF Virot. Madame Joose, Hets-
Boyer, Lyon Faulkner, earlier, and
Madame Connolly Of New York, while
some Of the firms own make are at
tracing muck attention.
One Of the hnadsomest and most at
tractive hats shown is the Toreador,
which is a reception hat, French i'm
ported, and made by Caroline Reboux.
1t is all of black ground work with fine
chenille and spangles, and trimmed
with four long ostrich plumes, known
as the Amazon plumes, much in favor
this year, with sweeping aigrette, jet
buckle and black ribbon.
Another hat is the Victorian, popu-
larized and named in honor of the
queens jubilee. This also is black
hat, made on a foundation of black
satin antique finely shirred, with big
faring rim and a Louis XIV. crown,
seven ostrich plumes, and fine cut jet
buckles.
Some of the new walking hats of

are the Dakota, the Vassar, the Con-
molly the Metropole, the Ideal and the
Lexington. French felts with high
crowns and rolled rims, which are so
fashionable this season, are shown and
one trimmed with a knot of satin rib

club and black being the favorite col
ors.
In the dress goods department the
variety, styles and quality of goods
shown is delighting the thousands of
fair visitors daily.
In these goods Malley, Nicely & Co.
show all kinds of rich novelties in all
wool and in silks and wool from France
and Germany. All orders for these
goods were placed before the new tariff
went into effect and purchasers of these
goods, therefore, do not have to pay
the heavy duties. In plaids the great
thing Of the of the season, fifty different
sizes and patterns are shown, while side
band goods, very popular and stylish,
and the Roman stripes, new thing in
silks, are kept in half a hundred color
combinations The new cloaks and

1t is a big one, bigger than ever, almost
like Spanish MANILA, made in lace
and edged plain and in dotted net. The
ew tie that women will wear this season
is the null tie in soft plain white ma
teriaI 1t seems a revival of the French
revolution styles and is worn around
the neck with large bow. Some are

AT F. M. BROWN & CO.'S.
At the big store of F. M. Brown &
Co. a throng of thousands of ladies'
was present all the afternoon admiring
and purchasing of the large stock of fall
goods of every variety. 1t was IL o'clock
before the beautiful display was COM
pletely arranged and from that time
until o'clock the store was filled in
every department with femininity. The
exhibit is one which for elegance of
the goods and beauty of arrangement
is rarely equalled and many words of
praise were heard from the visiting Ia
dies for the variety and completeness
of the stock.
OF course all of the departments were
visited, but it was the millinery, dress
goods and cloak and suit departments
that were the especial attractions.
There everything on which the fall
fashion OF 1897 has set it's stamp was
in evidence, not only goods of domestic
manufacture, but also the fabrics and
creations of the fashionable makers of
Europe.
In the cape department one OF the
latest things shown is a new style Pa
risian cape of heavily beaded mattlasse
goods with standing collar and bows in
the back. A hobby silk golf cape
shown is made of boucle cloth in red
and black with hood. Velour capes
with jetted trimmings and lambs wool
seem to be the thing and are in stock
with many variations. A new Reddin-

black silk hood and marten collar
reaching in front to the waist is q trim
garment and is the latest.
Of the Russian blouses, so fashion,
able this fall, large number are ex-
hibited, done up in various kinds of
goods, some with marten trimmings be-
ing especially admired.
The millinery department contains
some triumphs of the milliner's art
from the hands Of the cleverest work
men in New York and Paris. Castor
colors seem to predominant, while Jock
