PARIS HATS GALORE
THE NEW MILLINERF SECTION OF
 THE G4MBLE, DESMOND co.
{ Beautiful Display of Spring Fashions Ever Made by This Popular House - OpeDing Continues To-day.

store of The Gamble-Desmond com
 pany, So was yesterday and a more
 beautiful display of spring fashions this
 popular firm never made.
 The handsome new millinery room
 was the all objective point for the
 crowds that thronged the store all day
 first because. of the beauty of the hats
 and then the beautifully appointed
 room was formally opened to the pub
 lie for the first time.
 The entire front of the west store on
 the second floor is now devoted to the
 showing of hats, so that this section as
 it is to-day forms perhaps one of the
 largest millinery rooms in the state.
 The large airy room is done entirely
 in white and green while along the
 walls are arranged new glass cases all finished in the natural wood and dec-
 orated with smilax. This department,
 always attractive and successful, has
 nrow been made doubly so.
 The spring of 1901 promises to be one
 one of the most beautiful coloring sea- sons ever known. Everything is bright
 and fresh, pinks and blues predominant
 ing with scattering of red to give
 solid character to the color scheme. To attempt general or minute de-
 scripton of the creations in this de- | partment of millinery wonders would ! be impossible. A few imperfect de- scriptions may possibly show in vague way what is to be found. One
 hat bearing the name of Madame Car
 Her is very modest in appearance but
 of most impressive simplicity Black and white straw fascinatingly turned and twisted forms the body of the hat
 This bears two large black wings across the back and coming toward the front whiel underneath at the back is bow of black velvet
 A large pink hat from Esther Meyer is of pink straw covered with French crepe while dead" roses and foliage complete the trimming.
 A most bewitching little hat is the Marquise. It is made of white hair braid, has jet black brim and i'm trim med from the back. One jet black plume lies gracefully at the back and side. Camille Rogers name is found in large hat of white and gilt hair braid faced with ruff1es of white ma line and gilt. This Is set off by large black roses with green foliage while becoming little knots and bows of maize panne ribbons are very dainty effect.
 The red trimmings are seen in a beau tiful hat by Madam Julia. The facing is of poppies of the deepest red blend ing prettily down to the most delicate of pinlSs. The color is relieved by white lace and a long jet buckle.
 A notable part of the millinery dis i play are the many artistic creations l from the firms own work room by | their own artists. A table of copies of | French models, hats marked $5, attract Ing no end of favorable comment.
 Down stairs in the east store, nearly all of which main floor is devoted to the ready-to-wear garments, failor gowns. waists, jackets and the like. ! there was almost as great crush as but be impressed by the good taste the sOQl GlylE anu lllt IllSl titSduCt Dl everything shown in the department given over to this display. Even the owest priced suit, and some tailor quits were priced as low as s550, were he Kind q lady could wear because hey were well cut and in the most de- ;irable of colorings.
 In the separate skirt section the dis olay is attractive in the extreme and Jared almost to bewilderment.
 As for the shirt waist store, it is a tore Gull of newness and feminine iaintiness. None of the new spring hirt waists are mannish. They have bishop sleeves and long, full graceful ronts, and many other charming fem nine touches This applies to both he wash and silk shirt waist section, nd the Gamble-Desmond companys l hrt waist display is in it's every de- ail unprecedentedly fine
 The window display the Gamble Des- nond company makes of silks is . nere hint of the remarkably fine show n the dress goods and silk depart lents. They are showng at least core of exclusve fabrics. Their show lg of dress fabrics runs more to the ofter stuffs, such as lansdown, a silk nd wool fabric, pale, delicate alba 2 rosses, crepes beiges and Henrietta 2 loths; and satiny faced cloths like V ne broadcloths, but lighter in weight c erhaps. rIany of the silks shown by these au- z lorities on dress stuffs are in Persian fleets, and in the fady, hay figures nd color schemes rather than in the ell defined things, and what the amble-Desmond company says in the : latter of silks and dress stuffs is sure , be the right thing, This firms noted lace department, 1T it is one of the largest and most Ct )mplete lace departments ill all Con- F acticut, is showing new Irish point A ces, new point de vense and other { t. ew laces for trimming dresses of all l escriptions. Then there are the new o, rening laces. priceless real laces, ., nong which Is a magnificent rope of '' al cluny lace, and some gorgeous real ce berthas.
 Of all the departments none attracted l \, ore attention than the upholstery sec ,n on the second floor Especially ,e was the display of lace curtains pm the simple ruffled muslin affairs I the beautifully effective abian and e-. sh Point and Renaissance curtains 11 The mems furnishing department w
