 Caheen Bros.
 Yesterday was a perfect, day for openings and with the prospect of an- other day of golden sunshine there is not doubt that the stream of vis-
 
 firm has never exhibited a more beau tiful array of gowns, hats and novel ties than this. The display windows which are among the prettiest In the south were the exposure of all eyes through out the day, and many admir- ing comments were caused by the splendid French creations that were so tastefully displayed.
 One of the most striking costumes was a black net gown lace trimmed and embroidered with spangles. This showed to the very best advantage over a heavy messaline satin in the emerald green tint. The black and green were excellent foils for each other. This was one of the extreme new "hobble" models. The sheer folds of the gown were brought In below the knees and attached with a superb garniture of black jet with touch of rose that was most effective. With this gown. was shown a very smart black velvet hat, flaring of brim and curving so that the great heavy black willow plumes dropped oyer the brim and made it the acme of becoming ness A stunning creation was soft blue satin messaline evening gown. Near the hem of the skirt was a band of blue velvet caught with a rose made of the material. A crushed girdle of the velvet was caught about the waisi with a rose and pretty silver garni- ture; and a becoming effect was ere ated by the surplice cut in the back the skirt of the gown extending or one side to be caught with blue vel vet buttons over the girdle. The bodice of soft chiffon was made over cluny lace and a dainty yoke of Parisian net matched the border of the shori | sleeves.
