IN THE STORES

Washington with such a skip and 4 jump
that the big stores in the shopping dis let
were preparing to Danish all signs of } in
ter garments. Suddenly spring changed
her mind and darted back, leaving the
world to helated snowstorms and more than
its fair share of wind. Then the tailored
gowns of late winter and even wraps and
furs, returned to the sartorial limelight and
customers by the hundreds and hundreds
bought cold weather clothes throughout the
week instead of Easter hats and dresses.

truly farewell appearance of winter, so that
the coming week will see counters, shelves

shine and gay blossoms.
Each store carrying millinery depart
ment seems more than ever bent this season
upon surprising its neighbor in the number
OF its hats and multiplicity of styles. Paris
is represented everywhere, many of the
models coming direct from the French CAPT
tai and many. again, being copies of the
high-priced patterns.
1t must be a triumphant season also for
local milliners attached to our leading
stores, for the heads of some of these houses
are having the courage to declare that their
millinery departments can turn out as
stylish headwear can be bought in Paris,
no matter now famous the designer may De.
This is a tremendous compliment for the
Washington milliners, and there is no doubt
they will leave nothing undone to deserve 1t.
