EVERYTHING MoDIoH SHOWN AT
MILLINERY OPENING - HATS
ARE LARGER THAN EVER-LON-
DON SMOKE Is NEW COLOR.

The first OF the fall millinery open
ings OF the city is now in progress in
Goldberg Bros Woodward-ave. store
and from the styles shown il is evi.
dent that there will be no material
change from the past season.
This is the first opening in the Gold
berg millinery department since the
building OF the new store, and there
is a complete new stock OF goods, the
beauty Of which Is enhanced by the
handsome furnishings. The whole
third floor Is devoted to this depart
ment. The woodwork, tables, cases
and booths are finished In mahogany
while mirrors are in evidence on all
sides.
Many OF the most modish chapeaux
are constructed OF satin. velvet and
corded silk, although felts are still In
evidence. Many OF the shapes have
lower crowns, but as the style is not
becoming to many women. the high
crown still prevails. Willow ostrich
plumes, aigrettes, fancy feathers and
the Pocahontas bands, the latter re-
sembling the head dress OF a Conan
chez indian ready for battle, are much
used. The colors appear more sub
dued than last autumn. The new col.
or Is taupe gray, or London smoke.
Besides. there Is grape green, wister1a,
and peacock blue, while the khaki
shade Is shown again this season. APP
ricot Is another shade used for the
hats.
Black will be much used for dress.
but white will also have Its inning.
For business or street wear, the Rus
sian turban is considered good, and
the tam and Charlotte Corday still
have a prominent place in the display
windows.
The so-called small hats are quite
large. while the big hats are larger
than ever, but instead OF dropping all
around, the major portion OF them are
tilted at the left side and are much
more becoming TO the average woman
than the mushroom shape. On the
whole. there is much diversity In
shape. color and style. so that miladi
will have little difficulty in finding
something to please. the opening
continues Thursday and Friday.

During his term OF Office as lieuten-

NEW YORK, Sept. 16.-Great North
ern, ST. Paul and American Locomo-
tive were very weak in the first half
hour OF trading In Wall-st. Locomo-
tive lost IA points, while st. Paul
and Great Northern declined one point
each. All OF the standard issues sold
OF in sympathy.
Locomotive il fast seeking It's level
as a non-dividend payer, and its down
ward movement also bears out the be-
lief that the directors sold all the
stock they cared to. prior TO the pass
ing of the dividend on the common
stock. Southern Pacific was also
heavy, losing / point, while Union Pa
cific was of SIS. Specialties were
heavy in sympathy with the standard
issues, Delaware Il Hudson declining
IA points while Illinois Central lost
3.8 and Consolidated Gas only IA. The
recent strength OF Consolidated Gas
has led to the discovery that there
Is a good demand for the stock or the
trusts underlying properties. espe-
cially New Amsterdam Gas.
Slight Recovery.

OF trading there was a slight recovery
from the low figures In which Loco

early loss. Trading then became dull
In London American shares were
lower.
Cotton was trifle lower and wheat
