Certainly the Birmingham merchants
who selected yesterday as the day for
the spring openings had nature smiling
upon them. for the day was perfect.
The Birmingham women showed their ap-
probation of the beautiful weather and
the beautiful importations by attending
the openings by thousands.
All day the streets in front of the stores
were crowded with motor cars and the
sidewalks were literally lined with women
who were spring shopping and spring
locking.
Society stopped for a breath of artid-
cial flowers, the chiffon and lace reminders
of spring. Even the Country club had
but a few visitors. For once her rivals
were Loveman. Joseph & Loeb, The
Partisan, Burgers. Drennen & Co., ca
heen Bros. and FEEDER & Berl1.
FEEDER & Berk
At FEEDER & Berks, that store already
50 well known for its elegant simplicity,
was never in better attire than yesterday
and today, when they are displaying the
handsomest of novelties in the way of
womens ready to wear goods. Down.
stairs the front of the store is devoted
to waists and small accessories. One of
the pretty waists was a Persian effect.
simple and neat The Robespierre collar
is white and down the front the only
other trimming is a row of tiny crystal
buttons so much in vogue this season.
Back of these al the lovely boudoir

effects and the newest of colors. The
juvenile department is also a feature of
the first floor
Then there are the suits in this depart
ment, and FEEDER & Berlxs tailored suits
are stunning. There is a Copenhagen blue
moire silk coat suit which is elegant. 1t
has touch of Bulgarian embroidery for
collar and cuff. One of the most unusual
gowns seen in the shops is one in this
color is a terra Gotta. Its texture is
mixed wool and silk crepe. The waist
line is to the knees. 1t has black mat
lasee sash embroidered at the ends In a
quaint Bulgarian color and design. At
the neck there is just little ruffle OF
cream lace. The entire effect is the cul-
mination of art in color and design.
A department attracting much attention
is the millinery department. which is
recent addition. There are the hair
straws with a touch of Bulgarian, some-
times in chiffon, sometimes they are COW
cred with the many toned Bulgarian nets
or silks. There is a Caroline Reborn
model which has a stunning feather in
Nell rose shade.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-03-06
LOveman, Joseph & Loeb

At Loveman, Joseph & Loeb's there
was bewildering display, it seemed,
OF everything one could want in the
wide world. There We're those lovely
linens for table use. Those wonderful
imported hand embroidered table sets.
Then there We're the simpler lunch
con and breakfast sets embroidered in
colors In the lace department there
were on display laces in the point de
Paraguay patterns, the exquisite chan
tillys, Bulgarian chiffons. Something
entirely new are the hand covered lace
buckles. Then there are the vandyke
cluny laces In wonderful patterns, Bull
garian laces in all textures and bands
for trimming the ratine materials SO
popular this season. OF course they
were showing the ever popular Irish
1aces.
Upstairs in the silk department there
Is to be seen a beautiful display of
silks and satins as well as the robes
Some of the latter are chiffon material
embroidered in crystals. One is hand
done in rhinestones with touches of
black on the Nell rose chiffon. The
metal brocades are ON display and there
are the Bulgarian charmeuses for coats
for spring and brocaded matlesees for
the same use. The silk eponges and
canton crepes are there, too
In the department where one will
D
there are many so very many, that
one knows scarcely where to begin a
description. One especially elegant is
black charmeuse box draped affair
with the corners left to form their own
lovely folds. The upper or waist por-
ton is black chiffon over white with
just few rhinestone buttons. Simple
it is, as to trimming, as are all the
things this season. but simplicity in
trimming is made up in density of lines
and in color In so many of the gowns
as in the above described there will
be a touch of Nell rose or national blue,
or mayhap it is inaugural green or
red, but art is in the use of them all
This firm has never had a more
beautiful display of millinery or coat
suits. The head of the millinery de-
partment wisely said that this is a
season of color, brlliancy and strength
of color in their hats all woven to-
gether so as to make the perfection of
art There is in this department a
leather colored hair hat, sweeping
oblong affair with a combination of
blues in delf tints. the plumes forming
perfect question mark in the back
There are flowers and plumes in CO.
penhagen blues, wisteria shades, Nell
rose pinks and the coque de rouges
in a perfectly bewildering mass. There
are large shapes and small ones. There
are the poke bonnets which are going
to be popular and the toques There is
the dinner hat and the street hat
The coat suits being shown were up
to the standard for newness and good
tailoring, and like the hats are striking

Burgers

One of the attractive features of Bur-
gers opening yesterday and today Is the
decorated windows. They in architecture
represent Swiss portico. The columns,
however, are i'll old rose color between
which are large mirrors which show the
figures in the windows reproduced. There
are palms and flowers and suits and hats
and gowns of selected models.
Downstairs there is little additional dec
oration in the main, the store bearing
about the same appearance which one sees
every day in the year with the exception
of many potted plants. But in the up
stairs departments, Burger has never be-
fore shown such taste or such extrava-
gance in arrangement or in display.
The hats--in the first place there is a
perfect adorable place for one to sit and
be fitted in a hat, and this is a necessity
for it is just as important to fit hat to
ones head as it is to fit shoes to ones S
feet. Burger was displaying the hats in
one Of these fitting rooms yesterday.
Among the many was plain black in the
Knox model. 1t was a black hemp with
white mercury wings. and that was all,
but it was stunning. One of the at
tractive models was a Knox made of sage
green hemp, the only trimming being a
soft paradise aigrette standing straight up
in front This doesn't sound well on
paper. tut to many who attended the
opening this hat represented more style
and character than many another more
elaborate model. Then there is a Knox
with white uncurled novelty plume
There is large black dinner hat made
Of maline over hemp and several black
paradise aisrettes.
In the suit department the same taste
was displayed as in other parts of the
store. There Is a stunning coat suit of
brick colored ratine. One OF the prettiest
being shown Is Bengais blue poplin

BEAUTIFUL DAY FOR OPENINGS
OF THE BIRMINGHAM STORES

back is gathered at the waist line. The
skirt is draped most artstically. There
is a broeaded charmeuse in tthe National
blue also draped in the new knee drapery.
The linens in this store are no small
attraction. One unusually pretty one is
brown in the natural tone with a touch
of Bulgarian on collar. yoke and sleeves
There is stunning coat suit of Copen-
hagan blue with a Russian darned net
collar and cuffs. The coat is Russian
blouse.
The waist shown were of the softest of
chiffons, the daintiest and prettiest OF
Bulgarian trimmings and the necessary
touch of rhinestone. Then there are the
daintiest of white handmade waists hand
embroidered and lace trimmed. One un-
usually pretty one is a blue chiffon with
a lace yoke the little crystal buttons
down the front and Just touch of shep-
herds plaid silk 1t is the kind of waist
that could be used either for the most
formal or the most informal function with
the same dignity.
Caheen Bros.
One of the oldest dry goods stores In
Birmingham and certainly one of the
most beautiful in display is Caheen's.
1t was decorated for the opening with
potted plants, placed here and there all
over the building. In the front part of
the house. after one passed the lovely
window on one side were the hair orna-
ments, a bewildering display of rhine
stone ornaments paradise BIRDS ostrich
feathers, ribbon ornaments and every
thing one could conceive of to make ones
head look attractive.
In the dress materials being displayed
We're duchess brocades and Bulgarian ma
terials of many textures; the rosetta
green shades and the pompadour silks and
chiffons.
In one of the departments there was
lovely display of boudoir things which
included the daintiest of caps and house
gowns. There are the loveliest of waists
in shadow laces, Irish laces and Bulga-
rian chiffons. In the millinery depart
ment there was a Fisk model hat of
hemp braid and Nell rose flower tree
which was being much admired. There
was a Georgette French braid with a
shaded Nell rose and taupe plume. Then
there were several Turkish turbans There
Is Castle model of oriental braid with
Bulgarian crown and plume of coque de
rouge. There is a Gage Turkish turban
with coque de rouge plume
In the suit department there Is q stun
ming little Russian blouse of shepherd s
plaid with a lining of red satin. A collar
OF Bulgarian lace and cuffs completes
the costume.
One of the prettiest afternoon gowns
Is pale blue coat effect trimmed in
vandyke lace and white wolfe skirt
There is blue charmeuse gown with belt
and collar of Bulgarian silk Buttons
OF the same material complete the lovely
effect of the whole.
In the hosiery department there was a
lovely display of silks, both plain and
embroidered, and so on with the usual
wealth of materials and good taste shown
in this one of Birminghams most splen-
did stores
