And above all, styles so tempting
and artistic in their designing as to be
almost irresistible.
The announcement of the opening

the signal for a function approaching
a society event and was looked forward
to by the ladies of the city with an
iticipations of great pleasure, and ul-
ts@ately profit.
The magnificent store-Brown 's-the

robes, standing by a beautiful altar of

which TO be rudely awakened. But a
reality. A sort Of festival Of facts in
a fairyland.
But the hats!

The styles!
Well, they follow the lines of the
winter designings-oDly little more

And then ribbons, new and beautiful
in their weavings, are generously used

Copenhagen blue, leather brown, blon-
dine browns and Persian effects are
among the new things in colors, not
only in the hat shapes, but in the rib

season almost impossible this year. A
new and catchy sailor of large size,
made in dotted nets of all the wanted
colors, and the Milan braids are among
the very latest things.
You don't want to miss this expose.
Miss Norman, who for three years has
had charge of the department, assisted
by Mrs. Brown, is anxious that every
lady in the city attend the opening and
give the stock careful inspection. Again
today the store will be in holiday at
tire and the same cordial reception will
be rendered the public.
