Simpson-Jo johnson

The brilliant and striking opening OF
the simpson, Johnson company took the
crowds to Third avenue, and all day
their store was a popular rendezvous Tor
the woman of fashion. The spring has
brought several changes in the arrange
ment of the store, which formerly occu-
pied spacious lower floor when only
ready-to- wear toilettes were carried.
Nothing succeeds like success. and this
firm in a very short time has made phe-
nomenal strides even for Birmingham.
With millions of capital pouring in here
annually, 1t no longer surprises people
when firms branch out from one floor and
take in two or three in a single season.
The Smpson-Johnson company soon
found that its business had outgrown its
floor, and they have now opened two
extra floors which gives them magnifi-
cent space. The entire arrangement Is
metropolitan in every sense OF the word
the lighting facilities being especially
beautiful. Hundreds of incandescent
lights stud the ceiling, and the effect is
highly artistic.
The opening was one of the most beau
tiful in all the history of Birmingham
With the enlarged quarters the handsome
tollettes that were displayed on the first
floor are now on the second, the ground
floor being devoted to lingerie and shoe
department having been added.
Not outside of New York are handsomer
toilettes to be seen or more exclusive
models. Princess gowns in the lingerie
effects are extremely elegant, while those
of the silk in the delicate colors are
among the most exquisite things shown
Modlsh toilettes for the street, these
showing the pony coats and the eton
styles are shown in the very latest ma
terials Stunning automobile coats, the
kind that you see ON Fifth avenue, have
been brought on, and in fact nothing
seems to have been overlooked to make
this firm lead in New York styles.
The millinery feature, just added TINS
season, has been as successful as If 1t hac
always been part of this store, and has
fitted in as snugly and comfortably as
it has satisfied the woman OF taste. The
Simpson j ohnson company found that
they could not manage another season
without millinery department and the
women of Birmingham have found that
they cannot go through season with
out patronizlng as many of the depart
ments of this firm as they can AFFORD to.
Some of the handsomest hats seen yes
terday showed the new trimming of real
ferns, which are cured for this purpose
Another exclusive touch is in the large
rose stem, finished at the end with the
cluster of roses which gives most
natural appearance This firm Is said to
have brought the highest priced milllner
south who ever left New York, and she
is naturally an authority on correct
modes, The exclusive models shown bear
all the earmarks of the French artist

Despite Wind and Clouds the

Openings Handsomer Than In Any For

The spring openings of a number OF
prominent firms which began yesterday
were successful despite the dreary wealth
er. In the fashionable shopping districts
throngs Of women braved the wind and
all the afternoon smart equipages turned
into the down town avenues.
The firms whose attractive spring an
nouncements made their several stores
popular rendezvous were Ferd Marx Ca
heen Bros FEEDER & Berk Drennen, and
the Hirseh Millinery company, all on Sec
ond avenue, and the slmpson-Johnson
company on Third avenue. The heads OF
these firms express themselves as well
satisfied with their spring openings, both
in point of attendance and trade.
Sales did not decrease, as is sometimes
the case when the shops are overly
crowded on opening days. Taken indi-
vldually and collectively, the openings
were handsomer than they have ever
been. and it was observed time and again
that the Birmingham shops contain as
high class goods as will be found in any
of the Fifth avenue and Broadway stores
or those in the Twenty-third street dis

MANUAL TRAINING SCHOOL AT

AND SEVERAL PUPILS ARE IN.
JURED DURING EXCITEMENT.

Haverhill, Mass. March 19.-Flre in the
Haverhill Manual Training school and
High school annex, imperilled more than
15e boys and girls. and although mainly
because of the GOODNESS and generaship
of the teachers no lives were lost. sew
eral pupils had their hair burned and
one girl injured her leg by jumping from
second story window Instructor John
Bourne. intent on the escape of the chill
dren, after they were all out. found his
egress cut off and was compelled to leap
from a window on second floor of the
training school. He was not injured in
jumping but previously he had been burn
ed about the head and hands. The
training school was a three-story wood
building
Almost Immediately after the fire had
been discovered the flames had leaped
through the three stories and were burst
ing from the windows. The two-story
High school annex was connected with
the training school by a wooden pas
sage which was almost the only avenue
| of exit for twelve boys. who were in
the training department. Headed by
Teacher Bourne they made dash from
the second floor OF the school house and
rushing through the flaming and smok
ing passageway eventually reached the
open air in safety. Bourne then turned
| to the annex to be sure that all had
gotten out and 1t was then that he was
forced to jump in order to save his life.
In the High school building the $50 boys
and girls were in four rooms.
The fire seemed to come on that building
from all directions at the same time,
but the teachers quickly formed the pupils
into fire drill lines and ordered the march
out. Those on the first floor easily filed
down the short stairway leading to the
street, but for those on the second floor
the situation was full of peril Some
confusion was caused and seven girls
were cut off from the others, and losing
their way were obliged to run to the
front of the building. BY this time sew
eral engines and ladder companies were
on the scene but before they had raised
their ladders, Stella Sargent jumped to
the ground.
The loss to the city is estimated at
$4,000. Two dwelling houses near the
schools were scorched but were not badly
damaged.

The Ferd Marx Store.

IAN exclusive millinery opening. said a
member of the Marx firm. please state
that it is millinery exclusively
The reputation enjoyed by this firm is
second to none in the city, and their an
nouncements always attract tremendous
crowds to their handsome store. Yester-
day was no exception. The opening was
a stunning one, one of the most beauti-
full In the history of this firm. The mil
llnery department is on the second floor,
and here were to be seen scores of wom-
en- either adjusting spring hat or OBJ
serving some other woman who was max
ing selection The long mirrors were
in demand as the back view of spring
hat is equally as important as the front
or the side. and hat must be studied at
all angles for 1t to be a success. With
the corps of tasteful millners at the Ferd
Marx store, and with such variety of
hats from which 10 make selection, a
woman could not make mistake. If she
does. 1t is her own fault because she has
every assistance given her on the spot
TO select becoming hat. In the first
place she has collection sent direct from
ledulnR french importers anu shN DNf'e
that American houses send out, while the
hats from the Ferd Marx work room are
pronounced to be the equal in style of
many of the French models.
one of the milliners at the Ferd Marx
store gave some of the distinctive points
about the seasons styles.
morse hair hats are in vogue" she said
"the black hats, showing touches of bright
color as their trimming They may be
trimmed with flowers or plumes. Ameri-
can beauty shades are the rage, and there
are lots of shades that may be classed
as American beauty tints.
Then lavender and gray are very pop
ular The trimmings are mostly flowers,
but handsome plumes are seen on many
of the hats"
The short front hats now so popular arc
shown at the Ferd Marx store, and the
display is exclusive and beautiful From
the walking hat to the one to be worn
on the most elaborate of occasions there
are STYLES suited for all The Ferd
Marx store is an authority on styles, and
the superb spring opening more than ever
demonstrates this fact.

Caheen Bros.

Beautiful among the openings was that
of Caheen Bros, whose long business ca
reer in this city entities them to a most
enviable position. No firm is more iden-
tilted with Birmingham and its annual
openings are most felicitous occasions.
"Our spring opening began in January"
said member OF the firm yesterday, be
cause our spring sales really start right
after the holidays. We have been selling
spring and summer goods all of January
and February and while our regular open
ings are scheduled for March. much Of
our spring stock has already been dis
played"
The spring goods shown by this firm is
of the highest class and the millinery
opening was pronounced success. Many
handsome models were seen, these show
