HOME CREATIONS IN DEMAND.

The last fall millinery openings Of the
season. which were given yesterday by the
st. Louis wholesale houses. were very sue
cessful. and every establishment was
crowded from morning until night with
pretty milliners.
The headquarters Of the Interstate Mer-
chants Association resembied a department
store on bargain day. Over three hundred
visitors registered. a large majority of
whom were milliners. and the number OF
buyers in the city was larger than ever
before.
Tho display rooms of the wholesale mil
linery houses were bowers Of beauty. and
the number and variety of trimmed hats
shown were greater than ever before. The
thousands of trimmers employed by local

tern and trimmed hats were larger than
ever before. There was a remarkable Lack
Of interest in the Partisan and other foreign
CONNECTIONS. as well as the New York pat
tern hats. which were shown. as the Wis
itors. as a rule, preferred those designed by
local miliners-
There was an almost endless variety of
styles, shapes and trimmings. and the most
fasudious milliner could easily have found
hats which were suited to her taste. but the
styles did not differ greatly from these
shown at the last opening. New combina-
tons Of black and gold appear to be very
popular. but green Is still the prevailing
color. and the new iambeau silks in the new
shades OF green were very much In evidence
In all the displays. There were a few more
high crowns shown than at the last OPEN
ing. and birds, especially paradise birds and
wing effects. were much used. One partic-
