THE STYLES AS
 SEEN AT GoETTER'S.

The prevailing styles as seen at Goet- ters up-to-date establishment yesterday, were discovered to be quite different from those seen in previous seasons. It gives evidence that a complete change in every detail of fashionable headgear is with us this fall.
 Suede and dressed kid are used ex- tensively and with beautiful result. Por- cupine plush and Eunice felt are two or the materials seen at Goetter's.
 The mink, which was so much in vogue last season has now been superseded by gray squirrel, fur and ermine.
 The creations adorned with cuckoo heads and rooster heads are among the novelties presented as "the thing"
 The coIors found to be au fait are coque de Roche, emerald. green, navy blue and brown The soft browns are very prom inent shades.
 The lobster feather Is found to be one of the new things" while the newest ostrich tips are in combination colors.
 One of tthe novelties seen at Goetter's 8 yesterday was ping-pong hat. This unioue creation was made of Irish point with edge of brim and crown bordered with shirred peon velvet, and cluster or feathers with aigret at the side. A very smart model seen has high rolling brirn made of squirrel fur; the crown made of apple green VelVet cAusnt "i.' large pearl cabuchon. An aigrette fash toned with another cabuchon completes this bat, the lines of which are very ef- fective.
 A sailor effect made of brown suede 1,itb folds of velvet was decidedly smart. The brim finished in front with large brown wings.
 An exceedingly handsome black hat of neon velvet was very much admired The crown and brim perfectly square was edged with shirred chiffon; cluster or feathers on one side completed this bat
 A splendid model was box pleated taI- feta with pinked edges The only trim- ming used on it was cuckoo heads
 At Goetters the wants of every age are all looked to with equal care and atteh- ton to the fitness of things. me sho" room was attractive to all yesteroay'

~The square peg in the round holes fiplIrativelv expresses the use of means unsuited to the desired end. A great many people who have been cured of dyspepsia and other diseases of the stoni- ach and its allied organs of digestion and nutrition by the use of Dr. Pierce Golden Medical Discovery say: we tried many medicines with only temporary benefit. It was not until we began the use of Golden Medical Discovery that we found complete and lasting cure"
 It is undoubtedly true that Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery holds the rec ord for the perfect and permanent cure of indigestion and other diseases of the stomach and associated organs of diges- tion and nutrition. It IS not palliative. It cures the cause of disease and builds up the body with solid healthy flesh, not dabby fat.

OPENING DAY AT THE FAIR.

The opening at the Fair yesterday was | attended by throng of visitors attracted
 by the fall beauties which the custom of years had led them to anticipate. The gathering was in nature of fashiona- be reception and among the faces seen
 were those of Montgomery women out in force, and also many out of town cus-
 tomaex. The array of head gear in the new shades of autumn styles, and the fascinating folds of soft velvets, furs and chiffons was bewildering The effect as whole was admired with enthusiasm. Among the trimmings which first were noticeable were fruit in the autumn color inss; velvet roses, and foliage in all the deep rich shades. burnt orange, cardinals and greens; long plumes and flowing lace scarfs in both black and white shown on some of the swellest hats All of these are sure to be the correct things. Beavers are much in demand and they were greatly in evidence. But among the rich warm colorings and materials
 were seen also. ali-white efects-hats made of white taffeta, moire and velvet. These are said to be the most sought after things of the season, which choice of teh feminine heart can be under stood when their dainty beauty was seen above a face equally fair. One of the novelties of the season Is the coronation hat. a gorgeous large white hat with rim of Irish crochet lace, binding of ermine large rosettes of Louisine ribbon. folded criffon facing, and full bird of Paradise under the rim.
 A superb creation was in shades of brown and castor The rim was made of pufYs of velvet in the two shades, full garnirire, of shaded grapes at the back with malne under trimming.
 A Russian turban was of black beaver trimmed with plaitings of tillet lace in black and jet ornaments. A Monte Carlo hat was in black with moire half rim, black ostrich band, black chantilly periquin at the back.
 A green toque was of peon velvet with crush rim. and white lace crown with rooster head and tail on the side
 A chamois hat was seen in the prevail ing fiat shape with black applique rim. black ostrich plumes on the right side finished with, dropping black velvet bow Another effect much admired was large draped hat with rim of black moire vel vet, white Kid crown, and pompon of black ostrich at the side.
 There are many novelties to be seen at The Fair among them for instance, the grey squirrel as well as sable, mink, and ermine, for furs, it is said, will be worn in this climate until late in the sea- ] son.

The white puff bands which run outward from the centre are of glace silk that are finished in the back with long ends and rosettes. The ornaments used are handsome steel buckles. The third hat Is a beautiful turban made entirely of soft white heav- CT. The crown is laid in soft folds. At the back the plateau is drawn down into deep folds and rests gracefully on the hair A white pon-pon is caught at | the left side. Medallions of lace and black and white braid trim the brim,

 From the left side of one of these pie ture hats two long French plumes are caught by I cut st ael buckle.
 The latest shades in 1e ed. green and blue are shown in soft wings and birds.
 A hat extremely beautiful was the Sa- rah Bernhsrdt with crown of folds and an Egyptian facing. A long white plume falls from the center of the crown and coque de rogue panne velvet bows catch the streamers. which are of Louisine rib bon.

 A gray felt in Maple style, a Latoseh designed of blue chiffon and paon vel vet, a Nethersole with a single French pompon and aigrette caught by a jet cabachon are particularly modish.

The swell articles on these lines which were exhibited yesterday would have done credit to a New York estab- lisnr1ent.
 This speciality of this up-to-dste estab- lishment is ready-to- wear garments and Il e selections found there are beyond criticism.
 Among the stylish costumes is the cor onation suit. which is d mixture of black and red. built with kilted skirt and pos tilion peplum blouse.
 Another suit shown was of Oxford Zibelene the Chesterfield suit of success sional fiounces. A swell thing there was a black velvet suit fashioned XIV pattern.

where the white velvet and fur are join ed is a dash of orange velvet fastened with a long narrow inlaid buckle.
 A big turban shaped hat of impeyan feathers is effective. The crown is of a cream velvet, while the entire rim IS covered with a three-inch band of feath- CTS ending with two large effective wings which shade in the coloring of the rim in the back
 Many of the hats are especially chic. One of the pronounced peculiarities of the season Is that chickens have the lead in decoration.
 In commenting on this feature MT. Meertief said: 'Chanticleer heads and the coxcomb are worn as they were by the licensed jester of old. They surmount many transcendant hat so naturally that you hark for the shrill clarion of the farmyard. Queer. but what fashion decrees goes, you know"
