THE KINGS PALACE OPENING.
Crowds of Ladies' Admire a Beautiful
Display of Millinery


Exclamations of delight were uttered by
the large number OF ladies who attended
the opening at Kings Palace yesterday as
they gazed about the elegantly decorated
store. and beheld the beautiful millinery
and other articles so necessary to the we'll
dressed woman more elegant lot of hats
and millinery goods than this display would
be hard to find. For more than forty
years the management of Kings Palace
have claimed to be the leaders in this city
n The millinery line, and the unusually
attractive display yesterday warranted
such claim. Kings Palace imports di-
rect from Europe all the choice and dainty
ELECTS IN millinery which are so abundantly
displayed in the huge store and inasmuch
as all goods, imported or domestic, sold at
Kings Palace are bought and sold for
cash the great concern is well able TO lead
the market in making a low scale of
prices
SO much success has attended the mil
linery department that the managemeut
of Kings Palace felt justified in eniarg-
ing the other departments to correspond
with il, and the result of this enterprise is
shown by the splendid stock now on exhi
bition- The enlarged dry goods depart
ment is filled to oyerfiowing with all of
the latest dress goods patterns, the rich
ness and quality OF which created many
sighs and envy from charming women
who could purchase some but not all. Of
them yesterday. The ladies', misses, and
children's suits. jackets, and capes are
some of the elegant creations which will
continue the well-estabiished fame of
Kings Palace, and the pretty and useful
toilet articles in the ladies' furnishing de-
partment made this portion of the i'm
almost ae an at fos4
yesterday as the wonderful display in the
millinery department.
The stock. taken as a whole, is un-
doubtedly the largest OF its character south
OF Philadelphia and inasmuch as every
article in it is warranted TO be as repre-
sented, the great display is more than a
credit TO even such an old established
house as Kings Palace.
One feature that deserves special men,
ton Is the tailor-made suits for ladies'
II Is a mystery to every patron Of the
store how these maryels of taste can be
placed upon the market for Such exceed
ingly low prices The explanation given
for this by Mr.. Harry King, the manager,
yesterday. was that the goods are pur-
chased direct from the manufacturer by
him for cash. No jobbing house or mid
die men receive commissions, and that
amount is saved to the customers at
Kings Palace, and the saving in price is
large. Underwear of all kinds, hosiery,
gloves. and iewelry were all displayed yes
terday in the same generous fashion that
prevailed in the other great departments
OF the store. and were equally admired and
ia as great demand. The opening will

cling with tribal fanaticism. One o

privilege Of the daugh tiers, between
the ages 13 and 20, to sell themselves In
marriage, the proceeds going to the
parents and no dowry to the wigwams
OF their lords.
On small knoll in the center of the
camp stands the oldest pow-wow wig
wan in all America. It Is circular,
seventy-eight feet in diameter, and the
walls are of upright slabs, four feet
high. 1t was built 40 years ago from
crude cedar carried twelve miles on
the backs of the braves and chopped
out with stone axes. Originally the
walls were seven feet high, but the
and made smaller as the Tanches were
gradually stricken down. Four huge
logs fourteen feet high support the
center of the cone-shaped roof; and be-
tween these was built the pow-wow fire
on state occasions. when the chiefs sat
at council and watched the smoke curl
up through the opening at the top.

the entertainment, for it is a colossal
affair of resonant boards built over q
hole in the ground and operated by
the stamping feet of the biggest buck
in the tribe. During a dance the
squaws were kept busy cooking, and
the rule was eat and dance, dance and
eat, until in their fsnstical excitement
the bucks, rolling like swine at a
trough. shrieked, yelled and gorged
themselves until they fell senseless-or
dead.
One of their odd traditions is that
some day the dead Indians will all re-
turn and restore the game so ruthless
Iy slaughtered by the whites. Until
that time arrives a beautiful Indian
princess is supposed to come once a
year to the council wigwam---called
forth by horrible ard mythical incau-
advise them what to do
that no famine may be visited upon
them.
Their cooking is interesting, though
not particularly appetizing. Having
no metal sauce pans, they use water
tight grass buckets. Into these they
put corn meal and water to the con-
of starch, then drop in hot
rocks that give the stuff warm if not
cooked taste. The soup is we'll stirred,
poured into water tight grass bowls
and eaten with much gusto.
