Millinery Openings.

and Friday. The store and window
were decorated with flowers and palms
and an attractive display of trimmed
hats and bonnets were shown. Larg
round turbans with draped silk trim
ming are quite common in the everyday
sty les and in fact the turban shape seems
to be very popular one this season
Velvet, silk, chiffon, breasts, feathers and
tips are worn to quite an extent, some
exceedingly pretty shades in changeable
velvet and silk being used. Black and
white combinations prevail, although
various shades of soft browns and grays,
which are always so pleasing are popular.
The Flora-Dora shape is found here in
an all black trimming entirely Of folds OF
chiffon and long plumes. 1t is very light
and attractive and becoming to all styles.
Brighter colorings are found in children s
hats. One displayed in the south win
dow is in all red shades, and combina-
ton of velvet and shaded silk; another
IN delicategreen shades with white chiffon
facing is very pretty and still another is
in blue shades with white chiffon facing
The general style is in fiat crowns but the
hats are so made that they have tilted
effect when worn and are jaunty and very
effective. Elderly ladies will find just
what they want in bonnets.
Miss Lora M. Morse's store presented
very attractive appearance on Friday
and Saturday, when her opening was
held, the principal decorations being
br1ght-hued Autumn leaves. One of the
dalntlest patterns that caught the eye
as the visitors entered the store was a
large, round, fiat hat with a delicate
shade OF gray velvet trimming, combined
with white chiffon, ecru lace and a breast
in gray shades. The trimming was fin
ished with steel bands, held in place with
steel carbschons. In striking contrast
with this is one in beautiful shades of
red silk and velvet. Rich velvet foliage
IN shades OF red, combined with similar
ones in changeable velvet made one of
the prettest turbans. One style of trim
ming that is very effective is tucked silk,
each tuck bound with velvet of the same
color. Green shades are especially good
this season and the combinations Of
green and delicate yellow and of dark
green and dark blue are used. A pretty
new style is one in which black wings
droop over the back of the hat, and
break the effect of the almost unexcep.
tional round hats. O,her new features
found this fall are felt and chenille in
white and colors. Breasts and orna-
ments are used in profusion.
At Miss L. c. French's opening on Fri
day and Saturday were found distinctive
styles in children's hats. One of white
tucked silk with bows of black velvet is
dainty and stylish. Wide brimmed hats
with long sash ends or velvet ribbon
trimming with long ends falling over the
back will be worn this fall. In ladies'
hats the Gainsborough is one of the stv-
fish shapes, and pretty finish to the
wide brlms is plated ribbon. The pla-
teau hat and ielt toques and turbans are
made into various styles, and pean vel
vet is new finish that replaces the
panne velvet. Bonnets are quite little
larger than last season, but there are
many pretty patterns.
At Miss Ella Williamson's millinery
opening Saturday and Monday an un-
usual large display of pretty hats could
be seen. Those desiring special mention,
S one large hat. The top of this is fran.
ed by a plateau of white chenille and

maine. At the left side on the bandeau
a huge rosette of velvet and silk is held
by handsome pin. Here long velvet
plume starts and following the outline
OF the hat, finally droops low in the back
in very charming manner. The top of
the hat is ornamented in the back by a
long dull finished arrow-shaped pin.
Another noticeable hat was a Gainsboro
