Millinery, Cloak and Suit Depart
ments-some of the Specinlties Shown.
Fall openings come every year. but
they generally last only a day or two.
This year Mendel & Freedman have de-
cided upon an innovation In this respect
and their opening will be extended over
four days-a change which will be
greatly appreciated by the public. In
fact four days at least are required by
the customer to look over even in the
most casual way the large stock of new
goods which the firm Is displaying. The
store was thronged all day yesterday
with crowds of admiring ladies, and on
--al sides We're heard expressions of de-
/, light at the very large assortment of
seasonable goods shown and at the re-
markedly reasonable prices which pre-
vail.
One of the prettiest parts of the store
is the millinery department on the sec
ond floor, and here the firm has used
every effort to please their customers
and is offering a style and make of mil
linery goods seldom equalled outside of
the metropolis Mrs. O.. K. Kibbie has
charge of this department, and in the
two years of her supervision has made
it one of the most popular departments
of any store in the city. The hats
shown here are admired by all who see
them. They are of not only domestic
design, but also of designs by the most
famous artists of Paris, including Poys
enner, Camille Roger, Esther Meyer,
Heligan-Boyer, Logs Soeurs Michaf-
wicz-Tuvee, Nine Geraud, Caroline Re-
boux and others. They range in price
from $40 to $685. and include those sty-
1ish toques and the up-to-date tilted
hats with trimmings of fur, breast
feathers and chiffon Among the hand
soonest are the flower hats, the newest
of new in millinery creation They are
made entirely of flowers and are truly
beautiful There are also some of those
in stylish black and white striped tat
feta and black and white check, very
swell. Black and gold are fea lures of
the season, as are also blue and gold
and castor. handsome Felix hat is
made of broad tail and is trimmed with
incline and chenille. Then there are
pretty spangled hats, marquises or con-
+inentals. Miss Comerford is the head
trimmer and the saleswomen in the de-
partment are Miss Heslng, Mrs. F. M
Tighe and Miss Dowd.
The glove department is on the main
floor and there new makes are being
constantly added. Now the world-re-
nowned glove, the Centemerie, is on
sale. This is glove that has not here
tofore been sold in New Haven, and the
ladies here have been obliged to go to
New York for them. Now Mendel q
Freedman have the sole agency for New
Haven for them and as souvenir price
thew are selling them at $780, while |
they usually sell for 81.
In the lace goods department is very
large stock of lace goods of all kinds, |
with very large stock of all-over 'front.' |
ings in all varieties of the popular ones, |
In the children's department on the |
main floor Is a stock of everything need |
led for the little ones, with complete |
outfits for infants and all ages up to |
misses. This department was formerly |
upstairs, but now, placed on the main |
floor. it is enlarged and complete in |
every detail.
rhe or+ denartment at the rear of the |
store is a comparatively new depart
nent, having been in existence only
wear and a half, but in that time It has
become very popular among New Ha-
ven ladies. Everything in the art line
is to be found there at famously low
prices
In the mems furnishing department
all kinds of mems furnishing goods are
to be found-underwea hosiery, etc.
The cloak and suit department, under
the personal supervision of Mr.. Freed
man, is a large, airy room ana one
which it is a delight to visit. The flrm
believes in giving at their openings
practical demonstration OF what they
sell. They are not showing fancy goods
that people do not want but just what
they need. The custom department is
one of the features Of the store, and
