terest at the G. & G. S. Mower Co.
store. Everything including the
weather made the millinery depart
ment of this fashionable and nicely
arranged store a scene of beauty and
the ladies that thronged the depart
ment while still arrayed in their light,
airy, and becoming summer dresses
were just as enthusiastic over the
fall and winter styles as if the
"snow king" had already arrived
and indeed judging from some Of the
exquisite. snowy ''willow' plumes
that adorned two or three of the most
beautiful hats which were on display
one would think they had been
| brought from the home Of the eter-
nal feathery whiteness.
The prevailing colors for the COM
ing season seemed to be green. purple
and navy blue, or rather Persian
! effect combining all three Of these
colors, touched up and frightened by
the loveliest gilt tinsel, gilt buckles,
and gilt bands. In fact everything
nearly has a touch Of gold about it
this season, and the real eolors of
the autumn leaves seem to be rivaled
by these new and fashionable erea-
tions, which the visitor finds at c. &
G. S. Mower Co.'S. millinery store.
One Of the first hats shown is a
large flat iron hat, navy blue, ex-
quisitely trimmed in the most beau
tiful Persian ribbon, and bird Of
Paradise giving the crowning effect.
Another, which is probably one of
the handsomest hats ever brought to
Newberry, is a large white satin hat
faced with black velvet, and the
white willow plumes which adorn this
exceedingly stylish hat are dream
Of loveliness, so white and fluffy and
beautiful. The effect is very strik-
ing and this hat received no end Of
admiration. One Of the prettiest
features of this hat is the gilt cause
band with green leaves on it.
Another and we might say com
panion hat to this one, IS a white
satin hat faced with velvet and trim
med with ermine and ostrich plumes.
These hats are too dainty to be ac-
curately described.
Then there are two other very
handsome hats that might also be
classed together as they too seem to
rival each other in the extreme sty-
lish effect that has been obtained.
One is green velvet with handsome
Persian band and the top covered
by magnificent Pocahontas feather.
It is somewhat of the Gainsboro ef-
feet and is flared on the side. While
the other which would become some
styles Of beauty more is a flat iron
shape. The chief color being pea
cock blue. On one side is very
strikingly handsome gilt buckle and
it also has one Of the new Pocahon-
tas plumes, and there is a lovely
tinsel band around this hat.
Another hat that needs mention
on account of the sweet simplicity
yet elegance which it presents is a
large Copenhagen blue simply trim
med in large shaded roses which
change from an old rose to a pink.
This is a beautiful hat and verE be-
coming to most of the ladies who
were at the opening.
Their there was large black hat
that everyone thought was handsome
as we'll as beautiful. The most ex-
diuisite thing about this hat are the
two large black willow plumes. 1t IS
raised to the left side.
Of course there are all kinds Of
shapes in street hats and the stylish
dress hats. There is the greatest
abundance Of flowers. beautiful rib
bons, pins, buckles and many other
little articles that 60 far towards
making hat the delight Of wo-

The opening was decided success,
and the most courteous treatment IS
shown everyone by the accomplished
milliner. Miss Pursley, and her very
pleasant assistants, Misses Joe Jones
and Sara Pope.
