at PreSSgrove'S

Notwithstanding the fact that ''open-
ings' take place twice a year, in the
fall and in the spring, and the ia
dies have all visited them many times
to increase in interest from year to
year. 1t is at the openings that that
which lis the newest and latest in
style" are shown and everybody gets
to discuss styles with everybody else
ane the judgment of many is invoked
as to whether this hat or that one" is
becoming and IS to what changes
should be made in the trimmings. In
deed, it is a study to look in on a mil
linery opening" The EXPLANATIONS
would stagger Noah Webster. 1t is
ore of delight to the gentler sex and
serves as a diversion in many ways and
it is needless to say that the husbands
desire their wivss 70 study styles and
to make themselves just as pretty and
as attractive as possible. The men
may occasionally make wry faces at
the prices paid for hats, yet they would
quickly discern the donning of an old,
out of date hat by their wives and daugh-
tiers and would not be pleasant if they
did not at least keep in the neighborhood
of the fashion procession.
According to announcement both
P~ressgrove's Annex and Miss Gay had
their spring openings Tuesday and Wed
nesday of this week.
Pressgrove's Annex was beautiful to
look upon and everything showed that
skilled taste and artistic hands had con-
trolled and directed in all trimmings ard
ments for the occasion. Agreat crowd
was there. The two popular colors,
Nelrose and Coque De Roche, were
prominent, indeed, and did not fail to
elicit due praise. For the past several
years fashion has had some charming
colors named for the daughters of the
nations head, tt Alice blue and the
Helen pink, so now the country has the
opportunity to welcome a democrat and
with his advent comes the lovliest of all
these shades, Nellrose, named for one
of the White House girls; one whole
Ease was given over to this delightful
spring color while another showed q
second favorite, all in these being
Coque De Roche, its very name suggest
ing the Frenchness of this brilliant color.
Recent Bulgarian turbulence has serv-
ed to bring into prominence these love-
ly bulgarian tints. There was the
Dutch sailor, the large hats with foliage,
plumes and flowers and every other
kind, almost, that the mind could sug-
gest and desire demand. Then there
were the ladies' r~eady-to-wear suits
and garments. Suits in ratine and other
cotton material, silks and satins as well
as chamoised, tailored garments. Every
need of the ladies was shown at this
strictly popular Ladies' store.
What is said of colors, styles and
hats at Pressgrove's will apply with
equal exactness of Miss Gays display
where only millinery and novelties are
sold. This attractive establishment,
too, was at its best and was thronged
with visitors all day and everybody
was waited on and the utmost care and
patience shown with each one. Miss Gay
knows well every detail of her business
and she has some able lieutenants tc
assist her which is aguarantee to every
patron.
When these displays are considered
there is little wonder that ladies' COM
to Grenada for miles from up and dowr
the railroad to do their shopping.
