GRAND OPENINGS.
Pretty Hats--B Decorations
and Artistic Work.

1t was annouced by the Union De-
partment Store, the New York
Racket, The A. H. Foster Co. and
the Mcclure Mercantile Company
that their annual Spring opening
would take place this week and it
was singular coincidence that at
least three Of them announced the
same day, Tuesday, April End, as the
day. This was apparently too much
for the weather and it vigorously pro-
tested by opening up its fiood-gates,
and allowing a down-pour Of rain
which lasted throughout the day.
The ladies were consequently pre-
vented from coming up town to feast
their eyes upon the beautiful sights
that had been sarsSnged with much
artistic taste and painstaking effort.
But the merchants did not intend to
be out done by the weather and 80
the show was marked continued.
Fortunately Wednesday was beau
tiful sunshining Spring day, though
rather cool. and the ladies sailed fort h
from their homes to take in the sights
and they had a days job ahead Of
them to go round and see it all.
We did not want to get left so we
decided to take a peep into all this
loveliness ourselves, so we strolled
around from one place to another and
we saw good deal. We regret that
our limited space restrains us from
telling it all, we therefore just take a
few snap. shots.
We were at once attracted by the
beautiful display in the show window
Of The A. H. Foster Co. 1t was a
beautiful sight and is one of the
prettfest windows we have ever seen
in Union. Its artistic arrangement
was the handiwork Of Mr.. j. B..
Morgan, one Of the popular clerks of
the establishment. There were beau
tifully trimmed hats hanging over
which were long streamers of wide and
costly lace gathered up in loops sus-
pended from the top, and in the bend
of each was a lovely bunch of violets,
looking as fresh as IL just plucked
from the plant. In the center of
the window stood live palm. The
whole making q beautiful picture.
We felt sure this scene meant more
beautiful sights within and we walked
back to the millinery department
where the display was to be seen.
We were taken in hand by manager
B. f. Arthur, who was overhowing
with enthusiasm over the beautiful
display in the millinery department,
and we'll he might be, for 1t was per-
fectly lovely. He seized first one
and then another of the beautiful
hats, the trimming of which seemed
too dainty and delicate for the rude
touch of the masculine gender, and
we trembled for fear he might let one
of them fall In his enthusiasm, as he
ratified of the jawbreaking names q
the trimmings and styles, We ssrti

he hurried out to attend to customers
in another department. Miss Graham

llnery business, and is ably assisted
by Miss Roberta Hicks, of Union.
Between them they had arranged on
artistic AMI attractive display Of hats.
roses and flowers, of which there was
a great abundance. Our especial at
tention was directed to two "new
things" in the hat line, and they were
beauties. One WAS the "rainhow
hat" trimmed in six colors Of chiffon,
black velvet ribbon, and gilt braid
The colors were neatly blended and
had quite a "rIinbow" appearance.
There was not a flower on it. 1t was
certainly beauty. We were afraid
to ask the price OF this beautiful cre-
alton. Another novelty was the
"Pancake. While this name has
not very euphorious sound for
Lei -s' headgesr, and is rather sug-
geStive, 1t the same time the hat
itself is 81 right, and is another
beauty trimmed in black and gold
with no nrwers. The most elabor-
atrly trimmed hat is possibly the
Tuscan, trimmed on top with foliage
Of variga,ed colors and black ribbon,
while underneath there is profusion
Of beautiful pink roses Of the running
ram bier variety. We can .imaging a
bewitching face Of pretty young
lady under this hat, as picture
perfect in detail. We conld fill a
column about the beautiful arches,
the fine silks, the pretty flowers, etc,
but we must hurry on. Our thanks
are due Miss Graham who so kindly
enlightened us regarding the different
millinery creations before US, about
which we often found ourself at sea.
The predominating colors were yel-
low and white at Fosters.
M'LURE MERCANTILE co.
We dropped in to McLure's few
minutes. We found that Miss Fan
ME Clark, the milliner in charge, was
away at dinner. But she with the
assistance of Miss Lille Goforth had
arranged neat display OF pretty
duu "lilic
the show cases were full Of the most
beautiful collection of flowers Of
every variety and shade One Of the
hats was especially attractive and
nicely trimmed. 1t occupied con-
spicuous position in the upright show
case. 1t was only 5000. We have
seen hats not so pretty at a higher
price. The silks and satins used for
trimming G were draped from the shelv-
ing, they were of every variety and
color. While the millinery depart
ment is small, it is a cosy little nook
and the pretty hats and decorations
made it very attractive in appearance.
One of the most attractive features
Of the place is that they sell their
hats cheap.
