The Savannah morning news., 1901-10-10

Despite the rain and weather condi-
lions of yesterday, the beautifully ar
ranged and artistically decorated es-
Enlistment of Foye & Eckstein was
all day filled with guests inspecting
everything known to women's wear
and also furniture and housefurnish-
ings. For weeks this event has had
the attention of Mr.. L. j. Alling, an
efficient draper and decorative artist
who was especially engaged for this
occasion, and how we'll he has sue
ceeded is told in the magnificence of
the displays which confront the Gus
toner from basement to fifth floor.
The windows are works of art. Posi-
bly, the greatest attraction among the
many was the interesting showing of
pattern hats, opera bonnetS and mil
linery of all other styles and usages.
Mrs. Golden, who presides over this
department, was wreathed in smiles,
and remarked that she was "as busy
as bees, even though twas raining.
Hats shown here received clusters of
compliments, and many a locker was
easily converted into pur-
chaser. The ready-to-wear de-
partment was a separate store
within itself This store is one of
the foremost Southern establishments
showing high-class garments. Mr..
Eckstein, in describing several Paris
gowns, remarked that nowhere south
of Washington could such deliberately
finished garments be found, and that
no duplicates of his styles were procur-
able, an item worthy the memory OF
most women who wish to dress exclu-
sively. Furs from Canada, English,
Berlin and Vienna coats, wraps and
Manf61uX
from Paris, neckfixings, boas, ruches
and mousselaines in all the right tints
for all compilations. Such was the
visitors memorandum of the second
floor. Up on the third and fourth
floors, under management of Mr..
Hawkinson are shown carpets, dra-
peries, rugs, mattings and the higher
grade of finest furniture. Such growth
has been given to this new feature or
this immense business that the already
two floors are inadequate for the dis
playing of stock on hand. and the re-
serve supply fills a large warehouse
Down stairs on the first floor is shown
everything in silks satins and woolens,
not a thought but that it can be sup
piled there. Not a wish but that it can
be had. Superb trimmings, new and
novel laces, veilings and appnques,
women's and mems underwear, and
great stock of dependable shoes of all
styles and makes. Mr.. Readily, VINO
presides over the linens and house
furnishings. showed refined damasks,
towels and napkins as spotless and as
white as snow, and his reserve stock
EQUALS in quantity that of most South
ern iobbing concerns. The basement
presents every right kind of wash fab
RIGS as we'll as fiannels, quilts and
blankets, and from the greatness of
their stocks a great business is anticl-
pated for the present season. Mr.. j.
n Bellah. who has lately assumed
management of this house. says he is
sure the policy outlined by his firm
must reap rewards and that this open
ing Is but a forecast of other things
which. will please and delight his
patrons from time to time. The re-
cention last night was largely attended,
flowers were distributed as souvenirs
and music led the dance until midnight
The display continues to-day, and all
are asked to attend.
