Chapman S Fine
Millinery Opening

Chapmans large dry goods store
was the center OF throng OF well
pleased ladies for several DAYS last
week, the occasion being the spring
! opening of the Millinery and Dress
making Departments, as announced In
the last issue OF this paper.
The ladies of the town and county
We're cordially Invited 10 visit the par
iors OF this up-to-date establishment.
where well selected collection OF the
latest and most bewitching creations In
womans wear was on exhibition.
The Millinery Department, In charge
OF Miss Ghent, and the Dress making
department under the skillful super
vision Of Miss Wsirman, were elaborately
and richly displayed.
These ladies' are not novices in their
departments, as their work clearly in
dicated. There was on exhibition an
exceptionally large stock OF the latest
shapes in hats for all occasions-bon-
nets, childrens hats. misses hats. ladies
hats, and every kind OF hat known to
the hat-maker and hat wearer, hand
some dresses, skirts, suits. white goods.
colored goods-all kinds OF goois-at
all prizes and styles and shapes sizes.
In fact, the scene wqs bewilderine, and
certainly, TO one OF the sterner sex But
the ladies' were In their element. They
were delighted. Their cxclamations OF
pleasurable surprise were at times
deafening. or course, they all talked
at once, and IL seemed that nobody
was listening, but nevertheless the 90,
casion was one or great lie lsure and
interest.
Not only the goods themselves but
their arrangement, and the decorations
OF the rooms were charming feature
OF the occasion. There was music by
an orchestra, vine covered arbors, and
scenes suggestive OF the groves of the
ancients, with deep shade and quiet
walks-old home scenes, and tricklinr
brooks and songs OF birds and the
laughter OF children. There were fes-
toons or faces and silks and linens. the
choicest fruits OF the looms of other
lands, skillfully and beautifully gather
ed and blended i'm color and column
fairy fingers had wrought fairy land
into living reality.
But. what's the use for man 10
undertake TO describe the indies, riba-
Die? Who can paint the fragrance OF
rose, or put on canvas the song OF a
bird or the laughter Of a child? Just
as easily can man describe in cold
type creations In dress Of and for beau
tifui women. And nn doubt some OF
"nr readers, particularly the lldies,
Will think we made "A fool OF ourselves
by attempting description, but II so,
II will not be the first nor will IN ha

ing, that sometimes, "fools rush in
