cIes f the Femiutne World.

| The store of the Gamble-Desmond company, always attractive with it's spacious aisles and splendid propor- | tions, is now more than ever popular with the opening of the fall and winter | millinery display which began yester- day and continues to-day. The store is beautifully hung and draped, and all the windows, large and small, are filled
 with the kinds of things which women enjoy stopping to look at and chatter
 about. And bye and bye the Gamble Desmond company has greatly inn proved the spacious front of it's build- ing by the addition of three smaller windows
 so beautiful. Gorgeous colorings are noted, and while the color key note is deeper and richer than that souned in summer, the choicest models from the firms own work room as well as
 the Paris hats, show lovely warm tints,
 Camille Roger, Caroline Reabeaux,
 Virot, Berthe and a number of other
 internationally famed French millin-
 CTS have contributed what enthusiastic
 women term 'loves of bonnets," to the
 hat show at the Gamble Desmond
 store
 Some of the most admired hats were
 turbanesque in effect. The low flat
 broad hats with medium sized brims,
 the kind of hats that frame the face
 So becomingly, are, however the hats
 of the year. After all woman must see a hat to appreciate it.
 In the section devoted to costumes,
 wraps and tailored gowns, coats,
 waists, on every side are evidences of the modes made famous by the beau tiful Empress Eugenie. Velvet gowns, the long loose flowing coats of black velvet, embroidered or trimmed with satin folds the quaint silk and velvet flowing skirts; it is all very charming indeed and most picturesque.
 A black velvet dinner gown in one of the windows made along modern lines, is stril1ingly handsome with its silk Spanish lace bands and it's soft yoke of white mousselein.
 A long, loose black taffeta coat, the seams all stitched, strapped, and a broad black velvet embroidered collar, is stunning in the extreme. So, too, are the dress silk waists in general and in particular one of pink peau de soie combined with pale yellow lace and tiny black velvet bows,
 Some very elegant skirts of black silk and velvet and some skirts made of the softer Luisine silks are shown this season that are most beautiful.
 The Gamble-Desmond Co.'s showing of new furs is particularly striking, one of the large windows having given over to a display of furs.
 In the dress goods and silk section the display is. as usual, comprehen- sivey notable. Plain silks in colored and black will be used in entire cos- tunes. so, too will the soft, satiny clinging twilled stuffs, Luisine silks and a new fabric, peau de siene.
 The wool dress stuffs as shown by the Gamble Desmond company are chiefly in the newer fabrics, that Is, heather suitings and rough materials. | There is, however, little falling off of | Venetians and the softer l camels hair effects. The display of | dress stuffs Is almost bewildering in | its variety
 Rich spangled lace robes of white | and black lace in the lace department; | great fluffy ostrich and coque feather | boas in the fine department for dress the fine, new and again | and improved shoe depart ment, where the Queen Qaulity shoe is sold; all these things and all these de- partments are objective points.
