store one of the gTandeSt ana largest
lines of ladies' millinery, cloaks, suits.
ETC., ever seen in this state has been
put on exhibition and has been admired
by thousands of people not only OF this
city, but from Derby, Ansonia and by
people from many other towns within
radius of twenty-five miles OF New
Haven.
The Edward Malley company is
known all through New England as
company doing business on large
scale and when the firm undertakes
anything, something interesting Is look
ed for. So 1t is that the opening OF the
Big Store has been a long looked for
event In the hearts of ladies' all over the
state Of Connecticut at least, and II IS no
wonder that the management feel
proud of the show as the store has been
crowded, though not uncomfortably so
during the two opening days, Wednes-
day and yesterday. The patrons of the
Big Store who have always waited for
the Malley opening were delighted with
the display of goods and on all sides
words of great praise We're heard con-
corning the rich millinery or the mag
niflcent cloaks and suits that were
shown.
In these two lines the goods have
been especially made for the Edward
Malley company and the designs are
exclusive. The millinery room in the
Big Store looked beautiful In it's fall
trimmings of leaves and branches and
was greatly admired by all the visit
ors The autumn leaves were tasteful
ly placed against an attractive dark
green background, the effect being very
handsome. The favorable comments
on the beauty of the flowers In the
large room seemed rather out Of place,
however, in view of the fact that every
thing in the millinery line this year is
to be in feathers and plumage, flowers
being absolutely "cut out" All the
show cases that were filled with flowers
last year contained handsome plumes
and feathers, both imitation and lreal,
the real ones coming from beautiful
birds of the south and from across the
water. The array is very artistic one
and the value of the collection can be
seen at a glance. Never has New Ha-
ven had such a beautiful assortment of
feathers and plumage and, as the fash
ion is entirely new, the ladies Of the
CITY may we'll LOCI t5iIIVI III L'i III ~
portunity of being able to secure the
very best.
The styles in ladies' hats this fall are
entirely different from those Of last year
and are of the Napoleon ond Continen-
tai types, All the hats at the Edward
Malley company stores are made up by
their own trimmers and are designed
exclusively for them. The best of ma
terial is used and therefore the best re-
suits are secured
one OF the most beautiful hats IN the
store Is one that arrived there yester-
day and consequently was not shown
on the first opening day. The crown IS
round and Is made of black chenille,
The trimmings are In silver and che
nile over silver tricottne. Two white
pompons tipped with black dots COM
plete the hat and make it very strik-
ing one. A walking hat TO be worn
over the face is another new one ana
was thoroughly admired yesterday 1t
consists of O. velvet crushed brim, with
crown of gilt tinsel and black net over
white There is a large gilt and steel
buckle in front, and In the back are six
white crushed roses and two tiny orna-
ments.
Large buckles this year Will be very
much in vogue on hats, and some or
those seen yesterday were quarter Oh
ward long. A neat hat that was great
w admired yesterday was a grey ombre
picture hat 1t is trimmed with cream
lace, with large ostrich plumes TO mabcn
the velvet. The plumes are caught with
large Rhine stone ornament, and the
complete outfit ia made to eaten the
fancy of all. A pompadour hat MADE
of Persian velvet, finished with a large
mink boa extending from the front al
most all the way around the hat, is an
other "winner." This particular hat
has the large buckle of steel. The rose
hat, made up of a deep shade of pink
riroir velvet, Is one that can't escape
the eye. This hat attracted great deal
of attention In New York, and doubt
less it will be very much worn TINS tall
and winter In the center there Is an
immense rose to match the pink ana IL
is trimmed with deep shade of Ara
bian lace.
These are only a few of the many
handsome designs to be seen in the Big
Store. and description of quarter OF
them would take up great deal OF
snace. IT is sufficient to say that the
line nf hats on exhibition in the Big
store has never been eQualled in New
Haven. and a trip to tn eplace Is well
worth anybody's time. In connection
with the hats and their trimmings
there is a very dainty window display
by the company in one of its Chapel
street windows that is causing every
body to stop and look. The window
represents large bird cage and In 1t
are scores of beautiful birds and their
feathers and plumes The window is
one O fthe most unique seen here in
long time. "
The 1900 hat is a distinct hat and 1t
differs from those Of all other seasons
IT stands in a class by itself like the
wearer the American girl, who always
is prominent no matter where she is to
be found. The frills of the hat this year
are entirely new and the woman with
delft fingers appreciation Of style and
skill in draping flimsy stuffs who could
last year put things together so as to
turn out a stylish bonnet, will find it
different this year and win have to be-
come acquainted over again with the
style of draping that is to be found on
the hat this fall.
The millinery department was not the
only department that was thoroughly
inspected yesterday. The beautiful
