 Tho Local Stores Are Now Showing |
 Some Tasty Designs.
 If there is a season in the year | which trea sures more joy and happiness for man than another, it is EaStertde. The season in which the various milli- | nery establishments vie with each other in displaying the prettiest and most beautiful hats. It is d season during which the benedict envies the | position of his friend, the single man. 1 But if the approach of Easter has no attractions. no charms for man, the condition of affairs is entirely changed with the members of the fair sex. Nothing makes a woman happier than to dress beautifully. A pretty hat is one of woman's proudest possessions. And right well may the hearts of the members of the fair sex rejoice this year. for q larger or better stock of millinery has not been carried than | the stock ill the stores this year. The most faStidious cannot but be suited with some of the various and most 1 beautiful creations of the millinery art.
 Spring is actually here, if we may consider the various millinery windows around town as sure harbingers. Hats | of all colors and for all ages catch 1 the pedeSt;'ians attention. A particu- ] larly attractive window is that of A. 1 F. COwles, on Center street, the milli l nery department being under the sr ] pcrvison of Mrs Nash of New York. i A new line this spring are the import ed French hats. which are wonderful i ly flat, resembling a mushroom. Al i though most stylish and pretty and very becoming to the tall girl. they are causing her shorter sister q little | anxiety, as may be gleaned from the | following remark, overheard by a re-
 porter as a pretty little lady shot by the window: ''They are just lovely, but how will short people look With q mushroom hat? But I must have the style.' Another innovation is the au- 1 tomobile hat. which is a special fei- ture this year. All the stock is of unexcelled beauty and the styles and fashions are the latest and up-tO-date. The clerks at A. F. Cowles's are very obliging and are always willing to eN- plain the art of ruffies. laces. chiffon. | wire. etc, even to a man, who is, of course. considered by the ladies to know just what suits them best.
 T. w. McGarry X Co is one of our new millinery establishments ill town. But if the crowds which have fiOcked into the store at it's formal opening a few weeks since and it's opening last evening are any criterion. it will soon
 become, if it has not already, one of the most popular establishments of it's kind ill the city. And it ought to be.
 for no prettier styles or more attrac- tive hats can be bought in the city
 than those displayed at this store 1 Nhnr ,i.1 hot. ,f.
 ty design Among them is the I'Aiglon, called after the famous play
 in which Sara Bernhardt and Maude
 Adams have shOne as stars. It is
 made of black maline with black
 feathers. A violet hat with applique
 chiffon crown is a beauty. A spider
 web hat, made of illuminated ribbon,
 makes q pretty headgear. as does the
 san Toy hat of white chiffon and
 black chain braid A pretty novelty
 indeed is the San Toy hat. A .'Tor-
 get-Me-Not' hat. with Renaissance
 lace, q tucked chiffon platteau with
 white feathers, and q flame hat of chif-
 ion. hOrsehaiI' braid and imported quill are few of the many designs. Gilt,
 black flowers, black and white velvet
 ribbon, Oxford red and gold and black
 are prevailing colors. Miss l.. V. De-
 laney makes an efficient and capable
 designer. She is well versed in the
 art and her designs are most beauti- full As in the other stores the clerks are very obliging and of q genial ma ture. A pleasing feature is q number of canaries, which chirp forth beauti-
 full music
