yerSal peace ana the DrOtnernOou ol
man may be seemingly as far off as
1t was in the dawn, when the morn
ing stars first sang together" but
fashion continues to be the supreme
dictator in the realms where fair fem
Unity hold first place. No matter
what conditions may be, the lovely
women still bow to the DEGREES Of
that invisible, intangible something
that for want of better term we
designate Fashion
This is Fashions Day in Co.
1t is that day which comes tw,.e
each year, at the changing seasons,
when fair woman comes to look, to
admire and to select those garments
and hats that will enhance her per-
sonal charms and make her if pos
sible a thing of greater beauty and
loneliness. And they came today
from the villages, from the hamlets,
from the broad sweeps of the country
and from the city of Columbia and
with one acclaim they pronounced
this seasons styles" to be the acme
of perfection, whole bower of beau
ty.
And even mere man joins In this
acclaim, for truth to tell there has
never been a time when the colors,
the shapes, and the materials, the
three elements that make milady's
headwear, were so astonishingly
beautiful so sensible and so adapted
to all occasions as they are this year.
Anderson Bros. & Foster.
1t is not going into mere feminine
ecstacy to declare that the millinery
parlors and the woman's ready-to-
wear departments of this big depart
ment store are perfectly lovely"
That is description that is we'll mer-
tied. In fact in every section of this
immense store one sees the artistic
touch, the harmonious blending of col
ors and the eye to the beautiful and
the enduring.
From the top floor, where one views
large and attractive assortment Of
draperies and rugs and druggets and
curtains all admirably displayed to
the first floor where visions are
caught of new silks and poplins and
other dress materials, one sees an ar
ray Of materials and shapes and the
dainty things that appeal to all low
ers of the beautiful regardless of sex.
But it is in the millinery parlors
that one revels in beauty, in feminine
charm and in artistic selections. The
hats have never been more attractive
than those shown today to hundreds
of admiring ladies in the parlors of
store. With one acclaim the fair Wis
itors pronounce approval. Such SEN
sible shapes, SO adorable colors, so
exquisite combinations, such lovely
materials, these and dozen similar
expressions filed the ears of the
saleswomen from early in the morn,
ing until the close of the day. And
there they are. Hats for every &C.
casion, hats for every dress, hats for
all people, the great and the poor,
the large and the small the fair and
the brunette.
The parlors were most attractively
draped and decorated. Palms and
flowers and draperies added much to
the charm of the scene. This is a
year when one can wear just any sort
of a hat that one admires. The ten
dency, however, is once more decided
ly toward the large picture hat,
which has not been so much in vogue
in recent years. But one can wear
the smaller shapes, in fact, the little
toques are exceptionally attractive.
Then there are mediums for those
who do not like either extreme. The
materials are largely the same that
are so much in vogue with the ladies
dress goods.
The sailor shape is undeniably a IA
vorite. There are the big sailors and
the tricons Black among the colors
is exceptionally popular. This is
usually frightened by bit of color.
The midnight blue is wonderful
combination of wide vogue. The At
rican brown and the Russian green,
touched with King George pink, are
also in the list of attractive colors.
Plumes and feathers have again
come into their own. They are de-
cidedly "the thing" The long sweep
ing plume will be much worn. Velvet
is a material largely used. Combined
with fur it has a wide popularity.
Monkey fur is the latest trimming.
Fitch is greatly admired and much
used. Gold and silver trimmings are
