Clio, among other things, is mil
linery center of no mean import
ance, for right here at home are
three of the most up-to-date millin-,
cry emporiums to be found. Ladies
from Flint and Saginaw and the
many neighboring towns, recognize
the merits of Clio along this line and
they flock hitherward "by the car
loads" in search of fashionable head
gear-and their wants are sure to be
supplied.
This spring as usual the Easter
openings are announced and the sew
eral ladies are making great prepa-
rations for the grand rush, for 1912
gives promise of being winner"
To acertain the prevailing styles
for spring and summer a short inter-
view with each of the Clio leaders"
brought forth the desired informa-
tion.
"While there are many large
shapes shown this spring" said Mrs.
J. w. Hurd, who announces her
Easter opening for next week, March
%, 20 and 30th, "the greater number
of styles tend toward the medium
and small, which are usually more
becoming to the majority of ladies.
The upward roll Of the
brims has. tendency to make the
hats becoming and ladies will find
ii easy to be suited with this sea-
sons hats.
"For tailored hats" continued Mrs
Hurd, "the stiffer effects, such as
straps, tailored bows, pleated bands
and fans are shown. Maline is in
great favor, and is used largely as =
trimming on the 'Gaby Hat
Zone of the newest things in color
is neutralized red, high light. Flow
ers are seen in profusion, with ex-
-,uisite colorings and designs and are
Used more extensively than for sew

Tuesday and Wednesday, April 2nd
and 3rd as the dates for her Easter
Millinery Opening. When asked
regarding the seasons best sch
lers' She replied that "the tailored
hats are arousing the greatest inter-
est at this time of the year and
these are shown in large assort-
ments of Kings Blue, Flame Red.
Emerald Green and the New Prim-
rose shades, which include every
shade of pink. The real new shape
the shepherdess sailor-is the leader
in dressy hats"
April 3rd, 4th and 5th are the dates
designated for Mrs. N. w. Mann's
Easter opening. While the general
views of all the milliners were SIM
liar, there will be found some little
variance in details. In reply to a
request for the dope on spring bon
nets" Mrs. Mann said that it is the
general opinion of many milliners
that the hat proposition is the best
that it has been in many seasons.
THE styles are more becoming,
shapes and coiors more
beautiful and attractive. Of course
there are many large hats, but these
are more especially for mid-sum-
mer."
Mrs. Mann spoke of the flower
season as being emblematic of the
hat beautiful and of the various rib
bon and silk effects prevailing this
season.
The shaded effects in ribbon, ma
lines and two-toned silks have the
desired effect in matching gowns
and wearing apparel of all descrip-
lion."
All Of the milliners have as usual,
full and complete assortments of
styles, and visitors to the openings
will be assured a courteous well
come. Remember the dates-and-
a word to the wise is a'plenty.
