Everything Lovely.

openings was exactly what would
have been desired by the merchants
in the city had they had the choosing
Of it, for the day, while perfectly
clear and sunshiny, was one Of those
cool, brisk days that always makes
one feel like change for something
new and heavier. The soft, balmy
Indian summer weather which pre-
vailed during the last few days Of
September on Wednesday and Thurs
day changed to a little more like vim
ter time, and the new eloaks and
winter hats and furs were delight
to the ladies, and the merchants were
much pleased with the large crowds
which thronged their stores all dur
ing these two days, and it is safe to
suppose that the sales made were very
satisfactory.
Caldwell & Haltiwanger.
It is almost impossible to describe
in a few words with any degree of
accuracy the many beautiful and eie-
CANT lines Of this seasons goods and
millinery that is found at Caldwell
and Haltiiw~a..lscr' store. One simply
has to visit there to realize what a
beautiful mixture and intermixture
there is of lovely colors in the new
goods that are new shown at the well
arranged counters by the courteous
clerks in this ever up-to-date estab-
lishment. Never have the fashions
been more beautiful than this season
with their soft but rich blendings OF
brown, green, blue, purple, old rose,
and gold. About everything nearly
there is the "golden touoh'' and this
might be called the season of the
sFcloth Of gold''. The selection Of
soft and exquisite silks at this store
has never been excelled and they are
really dreams of loveliness with their
white and blue back grounds and the
Roman stripes Of blue and pink vary
ing in their different shades.
Again this season white and black
either worn in the solid colors or COM
bined are two Of the predominating
colors, and one Of the handsome hats
that Miss Riser, under whose super
vision this entire department
is showed her many Gus
toners was a large black satin hat
trimmed with plated melene, hand
some aigrette, and large ostrich pom
pom, and very stylish satin bow.
A large white hat made Of satin
and trimmed with willow ostrich
feathers and velvet drapery was a
dream Of beauty, and there were per-
haps more admirers of this hat than
any other.
Another large black velvet hat the
trimming Of which consisted Of four
$1,000 ostrich plumes, two of which
dropped to the front and two to the
back held together by handsome
steel buckle, with a miliiner's tasty
touch of other trimming was as hand
some a hat as one cares to see. 1t
was faced with white satin and has
to be seen to be fully appreciated.
Of all the pretty hats shown, how
ever, the daintiest and loveliest little
creation was in the shape Of a small
hat made of snow white ostrich down
with tiny little black feathers tipped
with blue which we're placed on one
side. With this hat were shown a
snow white collar and muf also. The
collar is strikingly set off with the
latest design in ruching. which is
worn so extensively this season.
Perhaps one Of the newest designs
is a hat in cloth Of gold, satin finish
ed top, faced with black satin, and
trimmed with wreath Of willow
feathers which. makes it striking in
its simplicity and elegance.
A hat made of London smoke satin
with large gold cabbage rose and
autumn leaves, with short streamers
Of golden brown satin ribbon which
comes gracefully under the hair was
also greatly admired.
A striking leader Of the stylish hats
was a derby crowned hat Of canard
blue faced with black, the crown OF
which consisted of one huge owl, OF
varying shades Of blue and green.
Still another canard blue which
was finished off with a wreath OF
ri feather puffs, and including
the new and pretty style Of the rib
bon band or bow that falls so grace
