A Notable Event.

The Spring Millinery Opening at
the Style Shop last Thursday evening
was the most successful one which
Mrs. Lulu Gillian Woodside has given
in the seventeen years of her pro-
prietorship of this thoroughly up-to-
the-minute home of Ladies' Millinery.
The interest accorded these events
has always been keen and sincere but
from the viewpoints of style, display
and attendance this occasion far sur
passed any of the thirty-three previous
openings.
1t seemed that every lady in the Val
ley attended and it was surprising to
see the great number of gentlemen
who showed a real interest. The n
nounced hours were eight to ten but an
hour before the doors were open a
crowd had collected and during the
entire evening there seemed but a
slight diminishment in number, the
crowd overlooking the adjacent side
walks and even across Main Street.
The color scheme was green and
white and two tastefully arranged
windows, one in white and the other
in black, lent dignity to the general
ensemble. A French basket filled
with American Beauty roses was note
worthy.
The larger city stores have shown
living models exploiting the very lat
est Partisan craze, the colored hair
wigs matching the gowns, and not to
be outdone by even these pretentious
emporiums, Mrs. ssWoodside request
ed Mrs F. Earl DeWeese of Ironton
and Miss Huff of Bismarck to displ ay
this chic innovation. Mrs. Devices sc
wore a Tango gown of crepe meteo
with transformation perfectly match
ing. Miss Huff, who has posed as a
living model in Kansas City and else
where, wore..a gown. of green pussy
willow silk with colored transforma-
ton to match.
Mrs. T. j.. st. Louis worea gown OF
black and white silk and looked well
in all shades of hats, having powdered
her own beautiful hair.
Mrs. Bessie Gillian Curtis, an ex-
ceptional model, assisted in the dis
play of the innumerable beautiful hats.
and looking charming in a clever
creation of tan crepe.
Miss Irene Marshall and Mr.. Otto
Madlinger furnished instrumental,
music at intervals during the evening
and their rendition of popular and
classical favorites was most enjoyable
Mrs. DeWeese sang several solos in
her excellent soprano and was gener'
ously a%pplauded. "Sympathy'' ant
''I'm on my way to Mandalay" being
especially appreciated.
Sapphire blue, green and Tango
seem to be the prevailing spring
colors, while the Hesitation and the
Tango Sailor shapes predominant.
, An opening of this quality and pre-
tension is deserving of the highest
commentator and u good folks
should appreciate that the milliners
of few cities twenty times as large
give their patrons the opportunity Of
such q very pleasurable and satisfac-
tory evening, ADV.
