MILLINERY DAYS PROSPERITY.
Beautiful Lines Displayed by Moseley
Brothers and Mrs. S. w.
Gaines.

II Is SAID that III the world Of fash
ion this fall the big hat truly and lit
orally overShadowS everything else.
We read the following description
OF one OF these hats in some news
paper recently:
Tt has a top sail Of beautiful pink
roses and Il flying jib Of ostrich
feathers made into nica little
green park. 1t is anchored to four
pounds Of false hair and the hair is
attached to the ladies' mind and a
small portion Of natural hrsutc fol-
la"c that grows thcrcon.'
The millincrs, who have recently
returned from the eastern markets
from which ccntcrS Of fashion our
styles are patterned, say it is impos-
slble to buy il small imported hat.
The millincr likes this, because it
furnishes a wide field for her work.
One OF the masculine species Of
humanity, who has evidently no ap-
probation of the beautiful feminine
head-gear, has been quoted as max
ing this delivcrance as to the big hat:
=" have no objection to the big hat
L have taken the butlcr's pantry for
my clothes, and that | am used to
travcrsin" the house whenever must
gel out fresh suit, | don't mind it
at all. My wifc'S hats are in all tho
closets. under all the beds, hanging
from hooks and resting themselves
IN large boxes, and yet | believe she
has only a fw of them. Often when
she came in from a club meeting she
usd to dine with her hat on, but she
does not do that any more, because
our dining room is So small that the
brim knocks the plates from the
walls The big hat is all right. When
my wife has one on I know that no
other fellow is making love to hcr." !"
! AT any rate the big hat seems TO
be the thing this season, though we
are told that what we call big hat
! down south does not compare at all
with the big hat in the ccntcrs of FASH
ion.
Last week we had the openings in
Newbcrry, where these hats were dis
played in all Of their many coors and
shapes. This week two DAYS have
been devoted to openings at Pros
pcrity.
