THE FALL OPENING.
Caldwell s. Haltiwanger, Mrs. j.
H. Hair and J. A. Mimnaugh
Everything Lovely.

IIc weather IOf the 1all and winter
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 il 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 little more like win
ter time, and the new cloaks and
winter hats and furs were a 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.
1t is almost impossible to describe
III few words with any degree Of
accuracy the many beautiful and elc-
CANT lines Of this seasons goods and
millinery that is found at Caldwell
and Haltiwangcr's store. One simply
has to visit there to realize what a
beautiful mixture and intermiXturc
there is of lovely colors in the new
goods that are new shown at the we'll
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 "goldcn touch" and this
might be called the season of the
"cloth of gold'. The selection Of
soft and exquisite silks at this store
has never been eXcelled and they are
really dreams of lovelincss with their
white and blue back grounds and the
Roman stripes Of blue and pink vary
ing in their different shades.

OF all the pretty hats shown, how
ever, the dainticSt and lovclieSt little
creation was in the shape of a small
hat made Of snow white ostrich down

with blue which were placed on one
side. With this hat we're shown a
