Mrs. Woodside has returned from
her visit to st. Louis and asks the
REGISTER to inform the ladies of the
valley and vicinity she is now prepar-
ed to tell them just what they should
wear in headdress this season. Dur
ing her stay in the city Mrs. Woodside
attended two lectures daily, conduct
ed by one of the leading wholesale
houses, and presided over by Ora Cne,
one of the very best designers in all
the millinery world. In three differ
emit demonstrations Mons. Cne asked
Mrs. Woodside to pose as his model,
selecting her out of several hundred
trimmers present. In return for the
accommodation Cne trimmed two
| hats for Mrs. Woodside which she will
have on exhibition at her spring open
ing. His usual charge for making de
signing and trimming a hat is 800, 90,
so Mrs. Woodslde feels she is quite
fortunate in having two hats trimmed
by him and doubts not they will be
much admired and commented on by
the ladies. Announcement of the
spring opening will be made at an ear
ly day. More about One and spring
millinery next week. Look for it.
