Spring Millinery in All Its Beauty Now
on Display.
Many women of.this city took adyan-
tage of the clearing weather yesterday
and attended the spring opening in
the handsome millinery establishment
of MuhlfeIder & Co. 1t was indeed a
beautiful display Of spring headwear,
and the display called forth many ex-
pressions of praise and delight.
The decorations for the parlors were
simple but most effective, curtains of
the lovely new shale of lavender be-
ing used with trellis effect of artifi-
cial wisteria.
AS for the hats, the colors to be used
this season are altogether too bewiider-
ing, as the different kinds of mate
of fenlininity will be ableto find some
thing to her liking this spring. The
colors are rather startling and in some
designs the combinations are almost
brutal in their crudeness. However,
Dame Fashion has set the seal OF her
approval upon bright pink and majenta
with a dash of violet, and so it goes.
American Beauty shadings are to be
much used, and all Of the pastel colors.
Bronze greens are popular, as are the
raspberry colors and geranium reds. 1t
is therefore a relief to turn to the sex-
quisite ciel blue, and the beautiful Law
ender standings, and doubtless these
with white will be the favorites of the
spring. @...c ~. .+..-$ ILL. .--..-..
There are many new modes in shapes
shown. One of the very newest is the
small round thick polo tursban to be
worn with a high pompadour.. Then
| there are the hats with the high back
| and the picturesque tilt over the. face
with which the hair must be worn low
on the neck, and the polnpadour low
| and soft.
| Lots of the Plateaux in Neapolitans,
| chips and the old fashioned horsehair
| braids are used, while maline and the
! italian and French Val. laces still hold
| their own.
| The French hats displayed BY Muhl-
! full. One Of Esther Mayors was a
brown Neapolitan, bent into a graceful
turban with a high back, with a deft
blue double plume falling on the hair
for sole trimming. One Of the Caroline
Reboux was in the new lavender shades
with the pretty soft straw built into d
| wide brim and soft boat shaped crown,
! with its high back Allied with roses and
velvet ribbon. Another of this artistic

rosettes, and trimmed with a bunch Of

acy, and in her designs this. season
| Miss May Hanlnis has shown exquisite

velvet ribbon.
