The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1914-03-20

1t seemed that the buyers nad goDDleu
up all the pretty things that they had
seen in the eastern markets and
brought them back with them.
The two show windows would do
credit to the hands of the decorator
of a Wanamaker or Marshall Field
window. The brain of an artist is in
evidence in every detail. One in pink,
the other in blue, they form a fitting
entrance to the interior where the
millinery and dress goods are on sale.
The millinery display is enough to
make the heart of any woman, rich or
poor, yearn for some of the beauti-
full models that are shown on second
floor. A veritable riot of colors is in
evidence in the big hat department.
There are tangoes, Tettenegro
browns, Copenhagen blues, Labrador
blues, modified lavenders, whites,
pinks, in fact, every color of the rain
bow The hats, for the most part,
are small to medium size, while the
larger shapes will be worn later in
the season. To enumerate all the
names of the hats would be we'll nigh
impossible. There is the "whirl OF
the world" sailor in all colors that is
said to be going to be very popular
this season. The Peg o. My Heart"
is as dainty as it's name would indi-
cate and as pretty and charming as
the song after which it gets its title
is appealing. 1t is of white char
meuse, brocaded with white marqui-
settle, and trimmed with pink filling
around the crown and with white
aigrette pompons. The Blanche Ring
hat, named after the celebrated &C
tress, is chic and pretty 1t is Labra-
dor blue in color, with two toned Lab
rador French tips. Bows of the
same kind are fastened to the back
and side.
One of the smartest styles that this
firm is showing is the 'Harem" hat.
1t is of green crepe chiffon on the !
tango style sailor with harem veil of |
black. The "Hestation" is a hat
with hemp facing and oft Labrador
blue crown. The green grass around
the crown with red velvet bow in the !
back gives it an extremely stylish
and rakish effect. The high jinks' :,
lat is more on the extreme order. 1t
S made of green hemp with brass
and blue wind mill bows in the front
Another extremely stylish hat is the |
wind MILL" which is of purple hemp [
md silk top, with MORE wind mill
,ows These are only a few of the
many extremely stylish hats that are
IN exhibition.
The firm is also showing a very
elaborate line of ladies tailor made
uits of MORE, taffeta, silk and wool
repe poplins, wool gabardines, light
weight ratines, all of them made with
he new mandolin sleeves. They :
ave the fluffy ruff1e and peg top
kirt. ii
There are petticoats galore. How s
yer, the smartest thing in this line
5 in the tango color, a shade that
GEMS to have left the realms of Terp- {
ichore and invaded the domains OF i
he other goddesses. 1t has elastic I
t the knee with fluffy ruffles at the
ottom. There are others in white, G
lack and all the new spring shades. II
They are also showing a beautiful S
ne of spring dresses, no two of i
hich are alike. They are all differ @
Mt and all in style. Separate skirts
nd waists, which will be popular this v
sason, are shown in profusion. Els a
ecally nifty are the black silk taffe- e
/ skirts. The ladies coats are cut S
Ill and made Of Scotch cheviot. The b
nartest thing in this line is the b
which is quite attractive. s
In addition to the great display of
dies and children's goods, the firm e
showing one of the greatest lines fl
rugs that were ever presented to j
lie Columbia public 1t would do cred p
to any of the shops Of Nashville. is
