because IL they were not wide-awake
and up to their business, they would
not be able to take advantage Of the
splendid judgment and excellent taste
so common among both men and wo-
men of the community.
The millinery openings Of last We'd
nesday and Thursday were largely at
tended. The occasion was like unto
floral fair or some other form Of exhi-
bition of especial and particular inter-
est to the ladies. The day was beau
tiful one. clear, pleasant and balmy
with spring, and not a cloud until late
in the afternoon. 1t was the kind OF
day that carries it's especial and par
ticular invitation to all kinds Of people
to come out Of doors, and one that
would have appealed to the ladies and
children, even If there had been no
millinery openings. Yorkville ladies
turned out almost en- masse; but they
were not alone. The trains brought
people from Gastonia, Glover, Chester,
Guthriesville and other points along
the C. G. NV. and from Smyrna,
Hickory Grove, Sharon. Rock Hill and
other points along the Southern. Then
others came in automobiles and bug
gies, and the visitors were numerous
enough to fill both the stores at which
the openings were being held-the
Kirkpatrick Belk company's and the
Thomson company's, several times
over. And it was a wonderfully enjoy
able day, not only for the visitors; but
for the millinery and other merchants.
AS Is always the case there has been
great change in the styles Of the
season No special color predominates
but the matter Of color Is left to the
wearer. In full harmony with spring the
hats are trimmed with lots Of flowers
roses, violets and dahlias.
The high side and bando effect has
come in vogue again. In fact all the
hats are trimmed on that principle.
Crowns are of medium size, but the
hats in general are as the fall hats,
rather small. The straws are chip,
hemp and Neapolitan while the ribbons
are Persian, Roman striped and col
ored.
The turban hat Is one of the most
popular models: large picture hats are
stylish and in fact there Is scarcely
any uniformity in style. However the
Yorkville millinery establishments are
fully supplied with all descriptions Of
material and the most expert trim
mers. e
Miss Georgia Burk is again in
charge at Kirkpatrick -Belk's. She is
assisted by Mrs. 8. L. Steele and Miss
Annie Bludworth. Miss Mamie Leon
ard is at Thomson's this year, assisted
by Mrs. J.F. Youngblood and Miss
Agnes Bludworth. OF course 1t Is i'm
possible to describe all the beautiful
hats but mention Of few which are
considered by the respective trimmers
as among the prettiest and most styl-
ish, will be Of interest.
For instance, Miss Leonard at Thom-
sons, showed the reporter a beautiful
misses picture hat OF medium crown
with high bando effect. The shape was
of burnt leghorn, trimmed with plenty
of fillet lace. A Tango band Of black
velvet goes across the throat The hat
is trimmed with aeroplane bows OF pink
ribbon. Another beautiful French pic
ture hat Of black with high bando and
side effect was SHOWN. II is made Of
molinette with a Jet band around the
crown and trimmed high on the left
side with two French plumes. W
The Tango hat Is new in name and
style and those. who are experienced,
say the Tango hat Is much prertier
than the dance Of that name. The Tam
60 sailor Is of white hemp. The facing
Is Of white moire while the crown ts
covered with imported brocade chif-
fon A light shade Of tango velvet
forms q bow in the back and there Is O
wreath Of blue daisies around the
crown.
A -retty hat shown by Miss Burk at
Kirkpatrick -Belk's Is one which Is
worn on the side Of the head. 1t Is Of
black straw and almost fiat with high
side bando. The trimming Is Of sum
mer dahlias and a large Persian loop
comes over the crown. Another beauty
was Of black lace The trimming of
the same material rises in the center
Of the crown and Is caught with a jet
ornament. -i .EE.a
A small hat Of terra Gotta color OF
hemp straw with small crown and
shady feather on one side, Is also much
admired and another was Of hemp
straw with black lace edge and trim
med with pink roses, was also thought
quite pretty. Miss Burke also showed
a tricone hat with a Jet crown. The
brim Is Of French braid, and bunch
of pink roses are on the side. while a
large moire bow protrudes from the
crown.
Along with the millinery displays
there are pretty showings OF spring
goods at all the stores, and the variety
in clothing. shoes and all kinds Of wear
ing apparel is even greater than here
