Drennen Company

Although the weather yesterday was
not such as would make for a success
ful fall opening, Drennen companys
opening was a decided success. Many
visitors were in the store during the
morning hours and many exclamations
of pleasure and delight were heard on
all sides
The new millinery department at
Drennen's came in for a large share
of praise. This department has been en-
tirely remodeled and is now furnished
in exquisite taste. The furniture is all
mahogany, the many mirrors. the fitting
booths and the lighting facilities all
contribute their part towards making
the millinery department popular. All
the new styles in hats are displayed in
large, well lighted cabinets, and many
fall creations that delight the esthetic
sense are to be seen.
One of the new madels is ''bubist
sailor. 1t is a brown, trimmed very
simply with new MILDLY aigrette. An
other model, imported from Paris, is
the Madame Guy. This is high roll
hat, effectively trimmed with fur around
the brim and white algrette caught
| high with rhinestone. The Marion
Louise model, also imported. is made
of combination of black velvet and
| moire. trimmed artistically with but
terfly to one side underneath brim. 1t is
a very beautiful creation.
Boudoir caps form one of the pret-
tiest displays of the millinery depart
ment. One of the most attractive models
is made of net, trimmed with real lace
and hand made and hand-tinted clus-
ters of rosebuds. Another very pretty
cap is made of the same material and
trimmed with a combination of lavender
with wild rose effect.
In the cloak and suit section all the
l -.
extremes in fashion will be found here.

skirt are going to be much in vogue
