Richard Wagner, the famous com

Our Leaders in WOmen'S s
 Shoes

The prominent features of the seasons styles in smart shoes for women are now in evidence in our shoe store. The tendency is de- cidedly towards narrow toes, me dium heels and low tops. In every boot of this seasons make these tendencies are apparent. Any wo- man who wishes to dress well will be sure to demand them.
 The real hobby effect in walking boots in the gun-metal calf with a dainty light extension sole and low Cuban heel. The low top is emphasized in this number in a beautiful six-button effect, which makes it one of the most stylish boots of the season. Price, $5 .O0.
 A very smart dress boot comes in patent leather, with a dainty hand-turned sole, plain toe rather pointed and medium Cuban heel. The top is of dull kid. We believe it to be the smartest shoe ever offered in Birmingham at $6 00.
 Another attraction for Opening week will be our very comprehen- sive display of evening slippers. We will show them in every color to match any gown. This display is we'll worth visit to our shoe section.

Great Display of Furniture

Livery great furniture center of this country, and many of the lead ing designers of Europe, have con tributed to this elaborate display. There are plenty of new things, you may be sure; in fact, every thing that is new and desirable may be found here as soon as it is produced by the makers. We have reputation as leaders in fur niture to maintain, and don't in- tend to allow that impregnahle po- sition to be assailed at any time.
 Everything from the beautiful imported Drawing Room Suites, in Louis XIII, XIV, KY and XVI, eith- CT in delicate gold or stately ma hogany-down to the llltr plain ness of the arts and crafts-still popular for living rooms libraries and halls. We have all of them, and the stock is larger and more carefully selected than over
 Colonial mahonany is. as In the past, leading feature of our big display, and we were never go proud of the stock as at rhe pres ent time. But we have a decided preference for the beautiful Ger man. and. Italian Renaissance styles, particularly in mahogany and oak. Some of the English pro auctions are very striking.
 We especially want you to see the Circassion walnut, fumed oak and silver-gray naples.
 Dining room sets in mahogany, fumed oak, golden oak, early Eng fish oak, Antwerp oak and weath- cred oak.
 Bed room sets in Tuna mahog- any, golden oak, birds eye maple and c,lr1y birch.

Dress Trimmings and
 LdCeS

We ask you to inspect our fall lines of novelty dress trimmings and laces. We believe that our importation of high-class crea- tions this season surpasses any thing ever show before. We have been exceedingly successful in this regard in the past, but we have never selected so carefully as this year.
 The costumes of the most elab- crate styles will be trimmed ex- tensively, and too much stress cannot be laid upon the right se- lection of color.
 The very recent and handsome series consist of fancy galloons,, in which the variegated shades are embroidered in silk and gold upon velvet foundations. Many of the patterns show the most delightful combinations of tints. Here the Alice blue and brown shades take the lead, either on silk mousseline or velvet, the latter being a favor ite this season.
 Velvet and gold are the two strong features of trimming. Elm broidered velvet shades touched with tinsel or gold are embroid- cred in the various harmonizing shades.
 The St. Tienne bands, as they are called, are in two styles, the straight and the side band, the latter being very popular and used mostly in dress and military eff fleets.
 New conceits in the combi- nations of colors will be formed mostly in spangled effects for evening wear.

Here and There About the Store

Of course, this big page of adver- Using is not doing entire justice to our Opening. We do not expect it to. In every nook and corner of the store are new things that the managers believe, and we believe, should be talked about.
 And yet if we took the whole paper the story would still be in complete-someone would be over looked-all the new things could not be described.
 So we simply do our best and leave it to you.
 There will be many surprises you expect them-we save them for you. You will come across them unexpectedly-and because they are surprises you will enjoy them all the more.
 A trip to the big store on Open- ing day is more or less of jour- ney into an undiscovered country the newness, the novelty Of everything makes it one continu ous delight.
 We are sure you will find 1t so on Thursday.

Here and There About the Store

An innovation-we think an im- provement.
 In past years we have always advertised a number of special bar gains for Opening day.
 This year the specials are here more, in fact, than ever before but we do not advertise them. We know you will come to the store to see the magnificent display of new goods, and when you get here you cant help finding the bargains. Every department will have these special prices prominently dis played. Every center table will be filled with them.
 Look for the arrows that always point to a bargain.
 It's matter of more disappoint- ment to us than to our friends that our big elevators are not ready we would surely have them as feature of the big Opening if by any manner or means it could be accomplished.
 We want to build right-to start on solid rock-to be sure of the permanency of things, and then grow on that basis.
 That's why we are delayed the elevators would have been completed long ago, if we would sacrifice safety and permanence for celeity.
 Watch for the Red Arrows-they always point to bargain.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1905-09-20

One of the numerous designs that we are showing is satin band applique, floral design be- tween two rows of ribbon, extend ing over the band and used for shirt waist suits.
 Another elegant and most artis- tic design is the mousseline ap- plique In floral and conventional designs. The pastel green and the ombre effect, with touch of tan and brown, makes the design most attractive.

A SHOWING OF FINE Oriental Russ that you cannot afford to miss --one of the greatest collections shown by any store in the coun- try.
Dainty NeckWedr

Most Birmingham women feel that they can't own too many col lar and cuff sets, turn-overs, stocks, etc, and we feel that we cannot offer them too many.
 That's the reason for increasing the stock to larger proportions than ever before. Some of those we show are exclusive-others are the popular kind that every wo- man wants-but all are worth looking at on Opening days.
