Great Spring Opening.

;. Kahn. Sons & Co.'S spring opening
on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
March 8. 6 and Z, will be a notable
event in the realm of fashion, and one
which will practically demonstrate the
stores great forward strides and its
ability to keep step with all the latest
and most exclusive ideas of the
fashion makers and critics
But not only in this respect is lead
ership claimed, as the extremely mod
crate prices asked for the garments
and millinery offerings advertised are
proof that most careful study has
been made TO give the very best ma
tertals, the most careful attention TO
detail, and at the same time the ex-
elusive touch of studied eareIessness
10 every sweeping and graceful line of
the new spring gowns or quaint dip
and curve in the new hats. and yet
place them before the public at prices
not to be duplicated elsewhere
The showing In the millinery depart
ment brings out the fact that the new
head Of this department not only has
the faculty of selecting the daintiest
most dashing and Frenchy models, but
is also capable of having copied and
originated in his own workrooms crea-
lions of which Joseph. Louis and other
Partisan makers might we'll be proud.
French Models Shown.
AS models from both of these we'll
known French miIliners will be on dis
play, as well as other imported designs.
the women Of Washington will be able
to make their own comparisons and
form their own conclusions
More than 500 hats will be display
ed, great number Of these being i'm
ported, and one striking feature of the
new style is the way the hats are
worn, nearly all a-tilt, forward or to-
ward the side. Beautiful picture hats,
with long sweeping plumes nearly a
yard in length called willow plumes,
and tiny little derbys, short front
sailors will be seen, nearly all copied
from the styles In vogue during the
early Victorian era, or still earlier
styles from the days of Marie An
toinette.
Gainsborough shapes also are quite
prominent and the dashing Duchess OF
Devonshire will be revived in the
equally dainty and dashing Washing
ton women Of 1906.
Colors Are High"
The colors of this season are called
high, because of their exquisite clear
ness and bTilliancy without being glar-
ing. Faille ribbons are quite generally
used. some with corded edges and others
plain, soft, and shimmering in texture
And while so much is claimed for the
millinery showing, the same may be said
cor the suit and coat department This
department is also under new manage
ment, and, as it is in every other bust
ness, every step must be forward and
all additions to the stores force are ex-
pected to be of the best.
The woman who looks like a picture
in the new hat will be positively ire
sistible in a gown such as she may see
displayed at this opening
Dame Fashion has been most prodigal
in her approval and given her devotees
a wide range to select from. Princess
| suits for regal looking women, pony
| jackets for the jaunty girl. and REFERS

| appearance to the wearer, and etons be-

Skirts, quite generally round, have a
| freshness and charm TO them that sug-
bgest spring in every pleat and fold. A

and gives Enthusiastically a newness to
