"Wednesday Was OPENING Day.

wednesday, October 4, was Opening
LAY in Grenada, and as a result the
streets were thronged all day with
members of the fair sex, as millinery is
very close to the heart of every true
woman.
a new n to Pressgrove's was
truly a spot of beauty that will long
De remembered in Grenada. As one
entered the store, she was greeted by
the loneliness of graceful ferns and
gorgeous fall roses. Here were dis
played the very latest in tailored
gowns, dainty conceptions for dress or
namentation, beautiful shimmering ma
terials draped over exquisite satins
that certainly suggested the most ideal
reception and ball gowns.
Then as n went farther, n found
the hats; and oh! such hats. There
were piquant hats for small, dainty
races, immense picture hats for the
more stately sister, small hats, large
mats, mediums; hats that were bound to
please the most fastidious, all arranged
with such skill and consummate taste.
Each color had its special case; especi-
ally beautiful were the greens and the
black and white creations.
The affair could not, however, have
been such an ideal success had it been
presided over by any others than the
three attractive and popular young wo-
men who were the inspiring g~eniuses
OF the occasion: Miss Gwin, Miss Mary
Hall and Miss Pole Dogan, whose
cleverness, accommodation and readi-
ness in suggestions, indeed are a great
help in selecting from SO varied an as
sortment of everything requisite to q
needs.
On the other side Of town Oct. 8, was
another lovely show, where Miss
Gay-assisted by her sister and very
millinery saleswoman-all
day received her many friends and pat
rons, showing them all the very newest
anc best shapes and finished hats, to-
with a very perfect line of neck
and other accessories, in the way
Of belts, bags and such things as de-
light the eyes and hearts of all woman
Miss Gay has been in Grenada for
several years and with each coming
season her work seems to improve. if.
that were possible; her taste becomes
a little more perfect.
