Such an extensive millinery estab

is strictly new for Beaumont. Upon
entering the enormous parlors on,
feels one is stepping into the store oil
a fafous city firm. The furniture
fittings and fixtures themselves would
attract attention anywhere, but when
these fade into a harmonious back
ground for the myriad of magnillcenl
hats and hats and hats, the delusion
is complete. Everything in the Trllit
Millinery Parlors, from the smallest
rug on the floor t0 the biggest nat IN
the window. is brand new.
Aside from the hats themselves,
which attract the ladies more than
ANYTHING else, the greatest feature of
the new store is the furniture. This
consists of show cases. tables, shelly

suit any sort of variety Of gown. As
10 the beauty of the hats the ladies
say that Miss Truitt has the prettest
COnfectiOnS ever seen in this city. The
ShapcS. styles and cOlorS are artistic
ally and tremendously blended, until
one simply could not be so particular
that Miss Truitt could not give her
the hat she wants.

way of hat was sold yesterday for
