Mrs. M. E. Williamson g.

Mrs. Williamson s well known estab-
Ilishment had one of the best openings
for years, and the sales, for opening
day, were especially gratifying. Many
patterns sold at first sight. showing
how Enthusiastically Mrs. Williamson
and her assistants can guage the tastes
of Maurv county's fair women.
The establishment was beautifully
decorated for the opening in palms,
Easter lilies, ETC., and the large mirror
window was bordered in red geran-
iums, which gave a fine effect. The
attendance was large, the emporium
being crowded all morning and for a
considerable while sales we're made as
fast as the attractive young salesladies
could work.
One of the most beautiful hats shown
by Mrs. Williamson was a handsome
white hat, trimmed with violets, with
folds of maine and a magnificent
plume falling over the back.
Another beautiful hat was a black
picture hat, with all-over lace, and
beautiful plumes.
Still another very pretty pattern was
mushroom shape. made of black
maline, with maline roses, and a

bow and gold ornament falling off the
back, with green buds.
This year style continues to do as it
has been doing for several years
modelling dress and millinery effects
after the current of public events.
One of the leading patterns this year
is japanese Torpedo shape, so called,
evidently, from the signal success of
the Japanese torpedo fotilla in the
opening attack, on Port Arthur in the
Russia Japan war, and which caused |
the torpedoes to be so much talked |
about. A very attractive little hat,
which was greatly admired at Mrs
s this morning, was a
Torpedo pattern. 1t is something new
and is being greatly admired every
where.
Mrs Williamson carries the usual
full line of beautiful ribbons, belts,
flowers, etc.
