W. G. BARToN's MILLINERY OPENING.

Despite the bad travelling, large number of ladies from out of town were present, Wednesday and Thurs day, at the millinery opening at w. G.. Barton's. Miss Nj. l.. Hallowell of New York, we'll and .favorably known to New Milford ladies, is in charge, assisted by Miss Halpine and Miss to the styles Aside from the purely mushroom effects, many models sug- gesting the mushroom idea are in evidence and they are really excellent in their effect. These include, chiefly, pressed types in which the brim is ai- ways turned down in front and in some other points as we'll, but is turned up rather sharply either at the side or at the back. Many different models of this kind are to be found, and among these one of the most unique shows the hat so arranged and constructed that apparently the front is worn at the side. The mushroom, however, is not the whole thing by any means. One of the newest ideas is the poke. This is the genuine, old-fashioned poke, revived in modern materials and trimmings. A rule, however, it is we'll of the face in front, requiring a high dressing of the hair, and in many of the best models 1t is cut of very short in the back. Still a different effect is the round sailor, elaborately trimmed from the center of the crown, the entire crown and upper brim being covered. There is also the large hat usually the midsummer effect of leg horn or horsehair, with medium high crown and the brim undulating all around. One of the largest variations of this shows the brim turned up sharply at one side, so that the edge joins the crown. This is not directly to the side, but just trifie D the side of the front. In many ot the models of this character the turned-over DOT tion is held in place by a broad ribbon. In line, in summing up the millinery styles of the season, 1t may be said: The cloche or bell hat is the newest thing shown in millinery this season and 1t is regarded as an indication of larger styles. Mushroom effects are very much in evidence in both large and small hats. Pressed forms are preferred to made hats. Straws are par ticularly good. Flowers are favor ite trimming for every kind of hat, with ostrich very much used on the elaborate models and stiff feathers on the ready-to-wear and tailored types. Ribbons are employed to an unusual extent. One of the new shapes is the Belle of Mayfair hat, while the Mar lowe hat is another taking creation of the millinery art. Large fancy pins are used extensively on the smart hats. The Copenhagen blue is used exten- sively, as are the apricot browns Tel low daisies, graSse5, fruits and flowers and ostrich plumes are used extensive ly in the decorating. Altogether it promises to be busy season in MT Barton's millinery department. The ladies are gladly welcomed to look the hats over, whether they wish to buy or not.
