Determining STYLES.
This Years Tastes Of the People Determine
Next Years Goods.

How do the manufacturers of the
goods from which gentlemen's clothing
is made, arrange 80 that they can have
a prevailing color each season." That
is a question often asked.
A local dealer explained. Saturday,
how it happens. The present season,
in a measure is accountable for next
seasons wear. 1t is this season when
the people break away from last years
customs in styles and show their dis
position toward a certain change. In
the same manner they object to last
years colors and show what way they
desire the new color by buying that
shade. Now, last season the materials
that were worn drifted into the way Of
serges at the last Of the season, so that
this year many of them are seen on the
market.
The large mills design thousands of
designs and make up samples of each
for their statesmen to go out and sell
the manufacturers of clothing. The
taste runs in a certain line, as rule,
and the greater number will buy
from a certain few lines of samples
When the statesmen have returned, the
manufacturers make up their seasons
supply of the goods that are ordered
and the others are east aside.
1T Is good thing for the peace Of
mind of the people that they do not
realize what they are to wear the next
year and what the style of it is to be-
but the trade knows several months
before they are placed on the market
50 that the man who is getting the lat
est style in heavy clothing does not
realize that the style of light weight
lOthing is already being determined.
The custom trade does not go far from
the material used by the ready made
trade and as a rule they go hand in
hand. only it is realized that to procure
a good fit. the custom is the best as no
two men are shaped alike"

Buckley & Goodrich's Millinery Opening.

On a day of a terrible rain such as
there was Saturday, it is hard to imagine
a millinery opening that would be sue
cess. Yet those who happened to be on
the second floor of Buckley & Goodrich's
new store saw many women looking at the
new spring styles, and admiring the hats
as they were placed upon their heads by
Miss George Madore, the firms milliner.
Then, too, if they had looked into the
trimming room they would have seen
Miss Wyman busily employed in decorat-
ing hats. From a point of attendance
no opening could be counted as amount
ing to anything in particular on such a
day, but from the point of beauty of ar
rangement and in the large stock OF
goods their opening is one of the grand
est. We say is for it is to continue, to-
day and Tuesday, thus having three DAYS
in which the women can admire the
pretty things.
The front part of the store is the one
used for the department. 1t is now like
a bower of choicest flowers and some
parts of it remind one of blooming
greenhouse where the hugh banks of
flowers are all about. The decorations,
this year, run largely in the way of
bright colored flowers, the purple violets,
forget-rne- and the like, being the
prevailing color though there is every
sort of a flower in the artificial form.
The large mirror is encircled with circ-
let of red roses. Festoons of violets
hang from the ceiling. Great piles of the
different flowers are arranged on top Of
the cases Billows of muslin de sole are
| waving on one side of the room. Hats
| of every, size and description from the
plain straw with single feather, to the
expansive one with wealth of flowers
| and feathers, are all about. 1t must be
a task for a lady to select what she mos.
desires from so large an assortment. The
firm certainly has gathered an elegant
and rich assortment that it is worth any
| ladu,s time to look over.

The elevator was in the hands of the
machinists, Saturday, VINO We're repair
ing some part of the hydraulic gear. The
amount of water that is used in this ma
chine can readily be imagined when it IS
known that at every trip. the elevator
makes to the top of the building, so gall
Ions of water are used and the same
amount is used in the descent. The many
trips made each hour, which of course
vary according to the number of visitors
and the amount of travelling that the
regular State House people do, requires
quite an amount of water in the course
of a year
