ADLER's SPRING OPENING.

The Store Crowded All Day-The
Brilliant Ever Made in the Big
store.
Adler's spring opening yesterday was
one of the largest as well as one of
the most novel that was ever given
in Savannah. The day, which opened
somewhat cool, turned out to be regu-
lar springtime and the street was full
of shoppers all day. AS early as pos
sibIe after the doors were thrown open
at Adler's the crowd began to pour in
and there was a rush until it was too
late to see.
The millinery displayed by Adler this
spring is pretty. All the new shades
and shapes are brought out,and several
of the most experienced milliners of
the East are here to show and sell
this finery. For several years this es-
Establishment has improved in its open
ings over the preceding season. MI.
Adler was particularly anxious that
the season of 1904 should be a record
breaker. How we'll he has succeeded
the public will Judge. Into the best
houses North he has gone, and from
the best selections of import houses
he has bought, and bringing 1t all TO-
gether in Savannah he believes that
the array will eclipse anything or the
kind yet seen here. His facilities IN
every way have been increased and
his accommodations for taking care OF
the great throngs are unsurpassed by
any concern in the South. The ar
rangement has been made looking 10
the correct display of the most novel
and late things in millinery, in ready
made dresses, in dress silks, and all
the other departments. There IS no
difficulty whatever in passing from one
department to the other, and of in
speeding the elegant stocks in each.
The Dolly Warden shapes are the
things in hats, with the Champagne
and Parsifal blue in colOrs. Flowers
in endless variety, wells for walking
hats are shown, which promises to be
popular. A very attractive thing IN
the ready-to-wear dress department IS
the pongee wrap, for dress or for driv-
ing. This is new and stylish and be-
comes all ladies.
In the waist department crowds
stand inspecting the rich things every
minute of the shopping hours, morn
ing and afternoons. The prettiest thing
in this department is possibly, a 500
waist. This is a crepe de chine waist,
trimmed in Mexican work medallions
artistically woven into handsome ap-
plique. Another novel thing is a XII
mona made of six large handkerchiefs.
In the tailoring department elegant
costumes from $50 to 500 are shown.
The silk department is one grand
f1utter of soft, delicate shades of all
the late patterns of silks. Assert
ments of all kinds of manufacture are
shown, chief among the array being
the Shantung silk and the Rajahs and
Birmingham silks.
Mr.. Adler has sought to make his
other departments fuller. The ribbon
department is beautiful. The embroid-
cry department is complete, showing
everything late The hosiery depart
ment has received especial attention,
as we'll as the ladies' bag department
and the parasol department.
The Morning News makes especial
mention of the Paris gown, in the
Broughton and Bull streets window.
This is priced at 5000. 1t is made by
one of the most celebrated Partisan
dressmakers. The suit is made of Pa
ris mousseline, printed delicately-
blouse Jacket made entirely of Irish
point lace, with soft folds of the finest
pearls and mousseline forming a cas-
cade front. The sleeves and front are
trimmed prettily. The skirt falls over
two separate drop skirts of chiffon
and silk which are deeply f1ounced and
trimmed with the widest bands of
Irish point lace to match the jacket.
