Millinery openings are always a
great attraction to women. and Bar
nard, Sumner & Putnam Company's
millinery department was crowded
yesterday afternoon, end today there
will be even more of Worcester's hat
lovers who will seek the splendid dis
play of millinery on the second floor.
The department has been enlarged and
given a conspicuous place among the
| big departments of the store. Samuel
Murray of New York has assumed
charge and, with many years expert
ence IN one of the most fashionable
stores of the metropolis, he will make
the millinery department of Barnard,
Sumner q Putnam Company as popu-
lar as other departments which are in
charge of experts in selling their own
particular line of goods. The display
is manificent and comprises all the
latest shapes, shades and designs
Black white and castor are the colors
that are to be prominent during the
coming season, and many are the
beautiful hats shown in these shades.
There are many harmonious sugges-
lions in blues and greens, blending In
exquisite combination on foreign
models Now and then a pattern con-
tains just a touch of nasturtium color
or the odd magenta of the dahlias.
Mignonette tints too, play an artistic
part, and peculiar oleander pink,
something very new in color discov
cry, is used sparingly on picture hats.
Model hats from Madame jesse,
Virot, Suzanne Blume, Maison Lewis,
Poynanne, Linn, Faulkener, Caroline
Reboux and other fashionable design
ers in Paris, are on exhibition.
Besides hats, there are shown in
every conceivable pattern, swell COLA
rettes, boas, etc, in exquisite COM
binations of lace and feathers. One Of
the most admired model hats was de-
signed by Lewis of Paris. 1t is of
pink MIRROR velvet with the material
shirred in rows on a double continental
crown. The crown is of mink with a
scarf of Irish point lace draped around
it.
A novelty to Worcester is hat
made of lambs wool braid in a round
crown of the Breton shape. Made by
Virot it has little trimming, a pecu-
liarity of Virots best designs. A
Faulkner hat of pale blue with chiffon
under brim trimming. with narrow
black velvet wound about the crown,
attracted considerable attention. From
Poyunne comes green MIRROR velvet
turban with under-crown of jet
spangles and trimmed with light blue
faille and black aigrettes and pom
poms In picture hats there is be-
wildering display. All the dainty
colors and shades are represented
The blendings are in exquisite taste
Black, white and castor are the promi-
nent colors this fall, although, of
course, all the shades are represented
especially in the higher priced mat
erials A charming hat by Virot has
the much heralded feather mat crown
This is of Persian feathers and is
quite an Oriental decoration. It is an
opera toque and the form proper is Of
bottle green MIRROR velvet with under
] facings of light green. A castor Marie
Antoinette by Reboux is delicately
combined with trailing pink ostrich
plumes and pink orchids, and a toque
from Suzanne Blume is lovely beyond
description in its dainty combination
Of white and violet, being draped with
a handsome violet covered crepon
scarf fastened in place with amethyst
buckles.
Oleander pink, mignonette tints.
magenta. nasturtium and other rare
| tints and blendings are seen in the
display. The department has been re-
fitted in harmonious colOrs with a pro-
fusion of French plate mirrors and
fine show cases. A reception room
will be a feature of the department.
This is finished in cherry with green
tapestries. Women can rest here and
talk over the styles with their friends
To describe all the pretty things and
rare importations seen in this depart
ment would take several columns.
The sight itself is better than any
description Everybody is welcome,
whether they come to buy or not, and
hats can be found to satisfy the most
critical, yet come within the means
of a slender purse.
