Setting for Display of New
Spring Goods.

A garden In spring, with delicate
white hyacinths and lilies OF the val
: ley, dainty yellow jonquils and dat
iodils and white doves fitting on bud
i ding branches, is the charming scene
! which greets the shopper who enters
Z the j. L. Hudson Co.'S store on the oc
casion of the annual spring opening
4 which began Tuesday and will contin'
ue throughout Thursday.
J In the center OF the stores main
! floor, Just above the central stairway,
/ which descends TO the basement, a
touch OF color is given the otherwise
delicate green and white and yellow
! of the decorative scheme, In the cora!
which seems TO be rolling out or one
OF Neptune's overturned baskets. AS
coral In all its varying tints Is one OF
| the extremely fashionable colors OF
the spring styles. this particular detail
| OF the stores decorative scheme has
| It's special place. In keeping with the
| decorative artists plan the goods dis
played in the various departments OF
! the store carry out the glad note of
| the spring time. Sheer muslins and
diaphanous chiffons and silks, flmy
| lingerie frocks and fiower-laden hats
all indicate that the days of blue
skies and warm suns and hammock
swinging will soon be here.
While men are not supposed To fig
! ure very much in a forecast or new
styles any more than the bridegroom
at a wedding expects TO have his
| clothes described. the men were con-
| spicuous for their numbers In the
| Hudson store Tuesday. They seemed
quite as deeply interested In the new
| fol-de-rols as the women. or course,
while wandering through the big store
they had plenty OF opportunity to
study the latest cry In coats and
| trousers, shirts and neckties. over
coats and hats and many or them
spent just as much time looking at
| the new wrinkles in the mems wear
departments as they did In the mil
linery or silks or suits TO which they
were dragged willing victims by their
| women folk.
The women seemd unable TO tear
| themselves away from the silks and
dress goods, ribbons and neckwear,
laces and what-not counters. They
reveled in the beauty OF the new goods
spread out like peacocks' tails, FOR
their inspection. Never has there
been more beautiful materials and
textures and colorings than In the
present springtime season OF 1911, ac'
cording TO fashion experts. Certainly
IL would be a difficult taste to cater
TO that could not be more than salts
fed with all that Detroit's big stores
have to offer.
To those women who refuse TO both

who must economic in time as well
as money, this seasons ready to wear
garments offer wide selection. Dis
carding the sombre shades OF the win

the avenue on Easter morning in a
white or gray or tan suit. her
short skirt and jacket trimmed with
wide silk braid and buttons, and with
shawl or sailor collar distinguishing
her suit as belonging TO the spring or
1911. She will wear on top OF her
smoothly coiled hair a Minerva he'll

or a huge rolling brim AFFAIR, II sho
likes a large hat. All you have TO do
this spring Is to pay your money and
take your choice, for the saleswomen

when individual taste had such
chance TO assert itself and still not
