Crsattops in the Millinery Departme1
 Large Crowds There Yesterday.
 Yesterday was opening day at the bi
 store of the Edward Malley compan
 and as usual on such occasions ther
 was a very large crowd of New Haven
 most prominent shoppers looking ove
 the exquisite line of goods that are of
 fered for the Easter trade. The open
 ing continued last night and will con
 tlnue all day to-day and this evening
 The reputation of the firm, that o
 presenting the finest display possible, i
 fully upheld at this years opening ant
 it is not juggling with truth to sa.
 that the show this spring is d littl, richer and more extensive than it eve has been before. That is saying a grea deal and when it is taken into consid- eration that the store space is very much smaller this year than last, owing to the tearing away of the old store the fact is all the more remarkable
 The big store at the present time is a little more inaccessible than hereto fore as one of the big Chapel street en- frances is done away with, but this did not keep the interested shopper from gaining admission to the place and the attendance yesterday was larger than ever.
 The prevailing thing this season is roses and it seems, nothing but roses. | This being the case the Edward Malley company has gone to work and made the store most attractive place, the prevailing scheme of course being roses and rose colors. The avenue of roses that one has to go through before reaching the mill linery is without doubt the prettiest thing of its kind ever seen in New Ha- ven. Apparently growing from a num- Der of large pots are vines of the fla nous California rose and these vines wend their way in beautiful avenue extending over one hundred feet. There are over 6000 of the handsome blossoms on the vines twined and inter- mingled in a perfect labyrinth of fiow- CTS.
 When the visitor reaches the millinery department another beautiful sight is confronted. Handsome floral and elec- trical displays set off with the beauti- full bonnets make this brilliant scene. Following are descriptions of some of the bonnets:
