GoLDENBERGs OPENING.
Ihrongs Visit "The Dependable Store
Today to View Spring Modes.

Today tomorrow and Wednesday are the
three days set apart by Goldenbergs for
their spring millinery opening. An admir-
ing throng constantly filled the second-foor
millinery salon today, and. judged by the
expressions of qualification and approval. 1t
is the most brilliant and successful open
ing the establishment has ever had.
The entire millinery section has been
transformed into a bower of spring-time
beauty. Blossoms and garlands as fresh
and lovely as if right out of natures gar
den. form a fitting background for the dis
play of the trimmed hats, which are shown
in endless variety.
For a great many seasons the Golden
berg organization has been hard at work
learning the wants of its patrons. each sea-
son adding to the sum total of its knowl-
edge and it's ability to create beautiful
color harmonies and exquisite effects so es-
sential to correct millinery.
The opening will bring out all the new
spring styles. Pattern hats direct from
the worlds famous style-setters will be
shown in the greatest profusion. Side by
side are to be seen the hats from the estab-
lishment'S own workrooms, which clever
designers have created with all the chic
and daintness of Paris, minus the bizarre
effects usually found in the impossible
styles designed abroad.
A notable feature of the present display
is the variety. Each hat is designed with
the idea of giving it that much-desired in
dividuality, thus insuring to each wearer
exclusiveness.
The new seasons haas are shown in many
quaint and picturesque shapes, and are
fashioned in rich materials in unending
variety. Milady of fashion will have the
widest range of selection in shapes that has
ever been placed before her. For trim
mings. flowers and ribbons lead. Roses are
used in varying sizes from little button"
roses hardly larger than good-szed pea,
to the huge full-blown roses. Those which
follow the colorings of nature are the most
beautiful and are shown in rich wreaths
and splendid varieties, so carefully shaded
and tinted that each petal is work Of art.
Other posies. including the flowers of the
fields and the sweet grasses, divide honors
with the queen of the garden for popular
favor.
In shapes, the poke and the mushroom
effects have impressed themselves on a
great proportion Of the new models. EN-
pire styles in millinery are followed more
closely than before. Quaint and intensely
feminine is the treatment of such models
Besides the empire and mushroom models,
there Is great variety of picturesque,
fiaring- brimmed hats. Brims are graceful.
Many of them are wider at the back than
at the front. lifting either of the face or at
one side. Crowns are either medium high
or low and broad. and there Is generous
sprinkling Of round crowns and indented
ones.
An interesting feature Of the opening will
by demonstration of f1ower-making. Two
young women from the factory Of one of
the largest flower manufacturers in the
country will be present for three days, go
ing through the entire process of making
roses. They will be manufactured in all
varieties and will be sold at a very low
price to visitors.
Of equal Importance to the millinery
opening is the display of spring suits,
Jackets, skirts. waists and other apparel,
which has been chosen with all care and
exactitude. No stock in Washington con-
tains a greater variety of smart styles and
materials. Every line in the assemblage
is a notable example of the Goldenberg
policy of small profits and quick sales
