OPENING AT ALEX RICE & SONS.

One of the most important Openings" of military yesterday was that of Alex Rice and Son.
 Their store has been entirely rearranp- ed. The decorations in the department Tor the occasion. consisted of vines around the banisters and the corners of the ceiling: many baskets of artificial mowers were also suspended from the ceiling, while palms and ferns were att tractively placed around the rooms The decorations were beautiful and attractive.
 These decorations served as a frame for beautiful picture. The hats were the pictures and beautiful pictures they were.
 The imported hats were the centers of the greatest interest, as there was shown some of the master pieces of the greatest of Parisian miIliners Verot Camille. Rogers, and Esther Mayer.
 Our model, study in green. was a tor pedo shaped turban, worked out in green roses, with a gilt ornament. Another hat by Camille is a Gainesbor0ugh style worked out in a delicate shade of pink with moss roses. Another EnodA was a stunning white turban. of maline and gold braid. with very unique orna- ment in the form of gold epaulet, the effect of which was decidedly military. Another model--well--by describing particular model an injustice to other models just as beautiful. is done.
 The partments in the Alex Rice and Sons store were thronged through yesterday and their exhibition of beau tiful spring millinery and dress goods will be continued through today.
