FOUR MILLINERY OPENINGS.
Local Emporiums Display Beautiful
Creations in Autumn Novelties.

A Journal reporter made the rounds
of the millinery openings in the city.
yesterday, and although the morning
weather was not particularly promis-
ing, the skies cleared in the afternoon
and the ladies turned out in large
numbers to discuss, try on, take off
and try on again, the beautiful MILL
merry creations which are found in the
local stores, this season.
At Mrs. Whccler's rarlors, there are
many magnificent French copies, and
there are also some very pretty do
nestle hats that appeal to the artistic
sense. Mrs. Wheeler's rooms are very
nicely decorated with yellow astors
and chyrsanthemums, in sharp con-
trast to a solid bank of red and yellow
foliage which backs one of the store
walls. The cases are filled with new
styles and bright colors. tastefully set
off with metal ornaments, bright velvet
ribbons and plumes and aigrettes pre-
vail throughout the store. Mrs.
Wheeler reported the demand for fall
millinery very brisk
At Buckley's a considerable space on
the second floor of the building is Civ
EN- over to the millinery display which
is in charge of Miss Georgia Madore.
Miss Madore said that the display
made this season is the largest and
best in the history of the store. The
parlorS are attractively decorated with
multi-colored leaves and the display of
custom made hats is an extensive one.
The prevailing cOlors with Mr.. Buck
leys patrons seems to be plum-colOred
shades, and browns. with brisk call
for cream-whitc in the more expensive
hats. The shapes to receive the most
attention here are the bakers cap,
the new tam-o-Shanter and the New
York picture hat, which this year is
very low in front, and turning sharply
rises to prominence in the rear. These
hats are trimmed with ornaments and
plumes, end the display at this store is
a large one.
Miss Allen of the firm of Allen & En-
right told the reporter that the demand
this season runs to grays. Alice of Sake
blue. and violet. Feathered hats re-
tain marked popularity. and about the
only change this season is that the hats
are being made much smaller in shape
a not that is called the Johnny Jones
Turban," and one which is a big hit in
New York is shown here, and the MILL
ners claim that it will be the correct
thing for street wear this season.
Small hats decorated with military
rosettes are finding favor with Allen &
Enright's patrons. and the picture hat
with plumes is a close second for popu-
lar favor. Mrs. Benson, head trimmer
of the house. has some new and start
ling creations of her own which are
shown, and they compare very favor
ably with the French copies and i'm
ported custom hats which are shown at
this shop.
Mile. st. Occur, in charge of the at
tractivc millinery department at +.
DCStie's store said that the demand for
custom hats this season is full of prom
Use and big season is anticipated.
Here are shown imported hats and
there is also a large display of ready
to-wear-hats, all copies of custom
goods, and striking in colOrs, shapes
and general arrangement.

The work on the power station at
Cobbosscecontee lake is reported to be
progressing very rapidly. The building
is roofed over, and the carpenters are
now at work on the interior. The boil
er has been set UP and everything in
the boiler room is in fit shape. The
foundations for the pump itself are all
ready and the pumps will soon arrive.
The lake intake is well up on the shore
and it will be run through to the power
station in a short time. 1t is understood
that the Carleton pond intake is also
coming along satisfactorily and the
contractors are sanguine of completing
the work before the first snow flies.

Thursdays storm proved of short
duration, as southeast storms are apt
to be. The rain commenced to fall
during the early hours Of the morning,
and during the forenoon a considerable
quantity came down. but soon after
noon the clouds began to break away.
and the afternoon proved a resump-
ton of the beautiful weather which
has characterized the present month.
The rain did good thing in the way
of laying the dust. but a great deal
more is needed to bring the lakes and
rivers up to the height of water at
which they should be, before the freez-
ing up time comes.
