MANY NENSINES N RATS
NLANNHEImER's MILLINERY OPEN
ING ATTRACTED CROWDS OF
EAGER LADIES
NEW CREATIONS ADMIRED
Dainty RoHnets and Fetching Hats
Wed With One Another for Fem
mime Admiration, Which
Was Forthcoming.

A millinery opening is one Of the de-
lights of the feminine heart. A morn
ing or afternoons sojourn in the realm
of hats and bonnets is morning or after
noon of joy for even the strongest minded
sister FittingIy decorated with autumn
foliage and asters-those flowers of the
Indian summer eason-Mannheimer'
spacious millinery parlors were thrown
open yesterday that the feminine public
might come and gaze to It's hearts con-
tent on the beautiful headgear that Is on
exhibition there. A display almost con-
fusing in it's variety was that which
greeted the many visitors at the opening
yesterday, for Dame Fashion Is prodigal
Of colors and shapes this year, and there
is sure to be a hat for every face. How
ever there are a few hard and fast rules
that the autocratic lady who rules over
fashions realm has laid down for OBJ
servance in the matter of hats, and woe
betide the unhappy maiden who breaks
one of those rules She may look pretty,
but she won't look smart, and what do
a girls looks profit her if she bears not
the hall mark of fashion? This season
hat must be low. 1t may be as broad as
one desires, or as narrow, but 1t cannot
be high-in the crown. Castor shades,
biscuits, prune and all the wood shades
are employed for trimming; also many
changeabIe effects. There Is revival or
the once famous peacock blue shades.
The Point Arabian and Cluny laces are
employed most effectively and for orna-
ments there are velvet flowers and foil
age, long buckles, sweeping plumes and
fur OF the last named material seal and
stone narten are the fayorites. A str1K-
ing hat display yesterday was one whose
crown was made entirely of sealskin and
whose brim was of overlapping pink silk
petals Bernhardt's play, 'L'Aiglon,"
has given it's name to very chic picture
hat, model Of which was displayed at
the opening yesterday This hat Is an
exact copy Of one that Bernhard wears
in the play. It's shape is a very pro-
nounced type Of the seasons styles, being
flat and broad, with the brim falling
trffie in front, but rolling UP at the sides
and back The hat is made of castor felt,
draped with black lace caught with
long gold buckle.
Much gilt and chenille are observed on
a number Of picture hats, also eagle
heads and talons. Very well do these
latter ornaments go with the long Anna
zonian effects that characterize many Of
the hats.
For walking hats there are the swagger
soft English hats, trimmed with big pom
poms and natural cock feathers. These
hats come in light grays and tans. Then
there are hats that are notifications Of
the rough rider hats, and there is the
plain Fedora that this year has a smart
look about it,
More than ever like pictures will the lit
tie ones look this year, for their bonnets
are the quaintest and daintiest things
Imaginable The finest materials and the
softest colors are employed for these, and
the result is the prettiest possible frame
for baby face. Nearly all those hats
and bonnets for little ones are on the
poke order, and the trimmings employed
are practically the same as those used
on the hats for the grown ups"
