ELEGANT MILLINERY DISPLAY
To Be Seen in the Windows of Jonas
Longs Sons Store.


The windows at Jonas Longs Sons
made a sensation yesterday with the
most attractive and striking display yet
seen since that place of business was
established. The corner space is oc-
cupied by an outfit which strikes the
keynote of the fad of the hour, a hdr-
mony in greys. A dappled grey horse
attached to a run-about has a '"ir dr!v-
er clad in smoke-grey with grey cap2
embroidered in white, a grey velvet
imported hat suromunted in rich grey
plumes, while around and above lutter
countless doves, grey and whit. In
another window n bride, de .ked in
robes Of white, with floating veil, at
tracts much attention.
The store throughout presents a fes-
tai appearance, but the chief point
of interest is in the millinery depart
ment on the second floor, where all
of yesterday throngs of ladies went
into ecstases over the beautiful crea-
tions on exhibition.
The most notable feature of the aut-
umn and winter styles is that every
thing inclines toward picture hats,
Gainsboroughs, quaint pokes, which
look as if they had straightway
slipped from some rare old portrait
of a stately dame of a buried age, and
steeple- plume swept rolling
brims are seen on every side. The
woman who has valuable plumes at
home in her band box is the lucky
woman this season, nine and even a
dozen splendid ostrich plumes adorn
| the fashionable hat. One which at
| tracts awed attention is of black vel
| vet laid in close milliners folds over
wide, oddly curved rim and tall crown.
! from which sweeps eight black plumcs.
At the back is a bow of ribbon VEL
vet caught in a richly wrought buckle.
The brim is lined with white chiffon
so closely tucked as to give an inde-
| scribably soft effect. The black hats
at Longs are a very notable display.
