day with eager buyers and sight-seers
and an extra force of young ladies
was employed to assist in the gorgeous
displays at each store. The hats are
extremely large this fall and beautiful
IN color and very attractive in design
and shape. Some OF them are more
than mere creations in headgear-
they are regular summers.
