"PRETTY" THE WORD
That Describes the Millinery
Opening Last Night.

4 Last evening, for the third eve
Ring in succession, the admirers Of
pretty millinery, pretty store dec.
srations, pretty flowers, pretty
! music and pretty women prettily
dressed were much in evidence at
the millinery opening of w. R.
! Badgett Mercantile Co., from s to
1920 O'Clock, and if there was one
present who was in anywise disap-
pointed, they escaped our atten-
ton.
The decorations in the millinery
department proper were the hand
iwork of Misses Mccormick and
Kavencroft, with number of
assistants. In the west window
was display Of beautiful hats,
tastefully arranged, and in addi-
lion, large Tyre made Of white
'hyacinths and white ribbon. as
delicate and pretty as We ever saw.
On the west side, above the shelv-
@g, were three arches, made of
Iwhite ribbon, American Beauty
W.sas and hyacinths, which were
,mired and re.admired by every
rae. The east side of the room

exlle colored chiffons and silks, and
sct I'VE the shelving we're three
sparklers" constructed of bright
,lors Of silks, with borders ar
e.lnged with fans, and weie very
t,retty indeed. The east kindow
taInsained neat display oi shoes,
mad the ceiling looked nice ia pale
YIow bunting drapery.
towghe store was a mass of howers,
plastures and decorations niarly to
nes rear OF the room, and Fas just
nply beautiful throughout. One
iering the store from the monot-
'ous streets was, we imagine, as
.r.ionvict just after having gained
IN edom-hungry to absorb the
is,grance and grandeur Of lhe most
twiutiful Of nature-nGowe's.
thlne ladies we're presented with
rnations and the gentlemen with
Dlets as souvenirs.
The display of hats aid milli-
cry was elaborate, showing not
WY a large line, but an u )-to-date
ple in every detail.
The decorations in general were
in charge Of AL Berger, who is an
artist in that line. The opening
vas pretty in every respect, and
was very complimentary to Mr..
Badgett and his able assiitants.
