Yesterday afternoon and evening
marked the annual fall opening Of, mill
iinery and ready to wear garments at
courtney's store. Tho interior Of the
store. was most artistically arranged,
the, decorations being almost entirely
ofthe attractive new stock which has
arrived within the past few weeks
from the eastern markets. The dis
play Of millinery was a most excel
lent one. and gave the women Of the
city a definite idea of what they are
3toswenr; this winter.
The millinery this year is beautiful
after one becomes accustomed to the
rather queer and eccentric shapes,
and the ,hues and cplors are with our
rivals in previous seasons. :
One. hat which excited more than
ordinary comment from the behold
eEs was of, light blue, almost an Alice
blue velvet; with masses Of flowers
IN "a rleh scarlet heaped artisucally
upon the brim. {.
Besides the millinery, which en-
bracedsall sorts OF head gear from the
immense, broad rimmed hats to the
small and conservative hoods, there
was an elegant display Of ready to
wear dresses and suits. The dresses
embraced wide line from simple
house dresses to elegant evening
gowns in iyelvets and chiffons. The
window decorations attracted much
comment, each giving glimpse Of
what might be found in quantities and
greater variety inside.
All last evening omen's Orchestra
furnished excellent music and the
store was thronged with visitors.
