millinery OPENING.
Display Of Ladies' ReadytO.Wear Suits
finv. Tango the Style. Small
Hats. Display Fine.

Thursday, March 26, was style dis
play day in Grenada, and particularly
was this true at R. Pressgrove's Annex.
This firm seems never to tire of trying
to please its patrons and of planning to
catch the eye and fancy of the ladies'.
There is something new about their
openings every season. At their
last one, besides its uniqueness and ar
tistic arrangement, there was the SUBJ
stantial tone that would appeal to the
Judgment of ell. The decorations were
lovely and served to bring out and de-
velop the colors and hues of ribbons,
flowers and suits of every kind. Ma
ture seemed to have lent one of her ar
fists to aid the skill and, if possible,
make more exquisite the tastes of Misses
Mary Hall, Pole Dogan and Quin, the
very charming ladies who were so hap
py in waiting on the trade and display
ing to one and all the marvellous collec-
} tions of beauty and elegance. Mr..
Pressgrove himself stood about the
: front to welcome one and all, hand
shake with whom makes one feel the
{ attractiveness of life. 1t is rare that
one sees beyond the confines of city
such wonderful collection of fine fab
| RIGS as was shown at this store; and for
; every piece of goods perfect trim
mings were shown. There were
a fabrics in all shades and qualities OF
: crepe, ratine, &c. There seems to be 9
' decided preference for black velvet
, ribbons and the use of lace is without
end. Short coats are the go-very shori
in front and long in the back, and they
are tasseled wherever tassel can b
placed Sashes are in order but thes,
rarely reach clear around the waist
d The tango leads all styles, in fact one
j. is not I'm it" without something of tn,
/, tango, and they are beauties, too. Th,
e sleeves-well there appears to be al
j. attempt at sleeves, or rather an excus,
n for sleeves. The sleeves are so shor
j. that the fair maidens and lovely ma
" irons can not be accused of not econo
i, mizing at least in this part of their wear
e ing apparel. In truth can it be SAT-
e that Grenada never before saw such a
e elaborate and choice selection of ladies
4 ready to wear garments.
le The millinery department containe
u the gorgeous plumes, the exquisit
a. flowers and it was evident that tt
K-l small hats were having their innings
al That these hats were pretty does M
10 half waydescribe them. Many of thel
le were objects of dazzling beauty ar
t. they seemed especially designed
,e heighten the loveliness and the char
t. of the bewitching womanhood of tn
section, many of whom were there a
to most the entire day to inspect the di
ie play, enjoy the scene and a very gre;
rs many making purchases lest some OR
nd else should get the particular hat the
rv fancied first. 1t is needless to sta'
be that this strictly ladies store still flu
he ther fixed itself in the esteem of til
a public by this display and showed III
IS lmstakably that almost any taste
cd we'll as any purse could be pleased
70. this establishment. Handsome hat
in superb Paradise plumes, beaded lac
lin parasols, tango slippers, fans, and i
he deed anything almost to complete al
ed make perfect the ladies toilet, W
,a- shown at the Annex.
,ot The new milliner is especially feli'
mt tous in dealing with the trade, and
It. her efforts to get just the shape al
its just the trimmings on the hats the pr
ne chasers desire.
,iIl There were many ladies from t
re. country as well as from points up a
to down the railroad, TO visit the openir
,at and the day was an entirely satisfs
of tory one for the proprietor.
