Loventhal's

Loventhals known not only here, but q
favorite place with the women of the
state, is an emporium of stunning cos
tunes, added another to its list of in
teresting openings yesterday The win
dows each showed a central figure wear
ing an imported costume, each an eX-
ample of the highest and best in the
costumer's art, while around them were
furs in black, white and rich browns.
A gown that any one would pronounce
Partisan without being told was displayed
in one window. 1t is fashioned of black
cashmere de soie which develops the
graceful flowing skirt without trimming
of any kind. The bodice is almost made
of gold lace of an exceedingly rich
and costly quality combined with the
material in the gown and cut to form a
low neck. The effect is very rich and
striking. In the opposite window is II
cape from the Drecoll parlors, and also
an innovation. 1t is made of light blue
ottoman silk and draped over the should
ers to suggest yards and yards of ma
terials. French embroidery decorates the
collar Another similar cape is shown in
black, and within the store splendid
stock of capes and coats is exhibited
with dainty calling gowns and tailored
costumes vying with each other in the
perfection of their respective styles. A
smart black costume was being fitted on
a handsome young matron. The coat was
cut in the popular 52-inch length and
and gracefully braided. Other tailored
models were built of the heavy diagonal
chevrons in two tones. These are I'M
trimmed, their beauty lying in their per-
lection of tailoring, some showing skirts
and coats finished with similar pleats
and tailored buttons.

An amethyst suit of chiffon broadcloth
was in a model which is very popular:

Of the display and the variety of STYLES.

able of Parisienne and American design
ers, and date their origin to the most his

Louis XIV, and the Revolutionary tricore

Ferd Marx Opening.

A veritable reception was the opening
at F'erd Marx handsome store yesterday.
The windows gave an inviting entrance
to the beautiful interior which had been
decorated for the occasion of the fall
opening. One of the most attractive gowns
seen during the season is that which oc-
cupies portion of one of the front win
dows. 1t is "Frenchy'' creation of pale
blue and gold. The hip effect and drapery
is little different from many seen and
is artistic in the extreme. Another mag
nificent creation is the black gown made
with tunic effect of jet over cashmere
de sole. There is no fullness in the
drapery the slender lines of the gown
being unusually attractive for a slender
person. The lines of the figure can be
seen underneath the jet drapery, the short
sleeves and high collar giving an ex-
quisite finish to the gown.
The chapeaus. too. as usual at Marx
are very attractive, indeed The hats to
be worn by those prefering the large
headdress are superbly created and the
small ones just stylish and handsome;
furs, white fox and ermine, occupying a
conspicuous place in the admiration of
the fashionable women. Downstairs there
Is little artificial decoration, a few pot
ted plants and flowers being seen and
giving a finishing touch to the ensemble,
but the principal show at this popular
shop is the line of dress materials and

the coat entirely to the foot of the
skirt were in mosaics
Automobile coats in the latest
models, top coats for shopping and
travelling, walking skirts and runa-
bout suits in palmer models were fea-
tured largely at the opening display.
In the waist department there were
some very attrac tive models shown, the
best being of chiffon and heavy net
over selftoned messaline, to be worn
with the two-pieee suits.
1t will be a rare opportunity missed
If every woman in Birmingham who
did not avail herself of the pleasure of
witnessing Louis Saks handsome dis
play yesterday does not at once take
advantage of the second days offering.

Burgers Dry Goods Store.

At Burgers Dry Goods store there was
a constant stream of fashionable callers
yesterday TO witness the demonstration
of autumn fashions. 1t was most inviting
with its festive dress of smilax and
palms. draperies of delicate vines twin
ing around every column, and large
plants conspicuously placed throughout
the establishment.
The windows presented pleasing spec
tacle. In one were placed lengths of the
new fabrics, the tones of which made the
place mass Off delicate color suggesting
huge rainbow, but the fashionable toucn
of black to give it character. The rich
trimmings and garnitures were shown
here against the soft new shades. In the
opposite window were exhibited hats, CO.'S
tunes and accessories, each showing an
individuality most pleasing to the patrons
of the store. The hats exhibited in the
window were exceptionally snowy. Sever
al where beavers and others made of
MORE and broadtail. P1umes in the
pastel tints, white and black, adorned
the ones to be worn with afternoon cos
tunes and severe tailored models were
trimmed with stunning wings and drap-
cries. A striking chapeau was made al
most entirely of soft drapery of cloth
of gold with bunch at the side of gold
colored paradise tails. Several hand
some street costumes were worn by
models in the window, including stun
ming raisin-tinted tailored costume and
several frocks of the Moyenage type.
The tailored costumes. coats and capes
shown on the second floor were objects
of especial interest. The splendid stock
of street gowns and separate skirts was
especially notable and several of the
graceful new capes were quite raved over
by the enthusiastic visitors. An evening
cape developed in azure broadcloth with
a cadet collar was tried on by young
society girl who, to a group of friends,
praised the style as the most practical to
be devised since it could be worn with
a "crushable' gown without demolishing
1t as is the case with the coat sleeve.
The bodces as shown at Burgers are
prettier. too, than ever. They embrace an
almost endless variety-fragile, web-like
embroidered nets. chiffon cloths, silks and
the tailored linens alike correct and be-
| coming. Gloves, collars, bags and other
accessories were also chosen to make an
interesting exhibition of fall styles.
