SPRING MILLlN

Of the season may fail, people
generally know that spring has ar
rived when the beautiful creations OF
headgear make their appear
ance. This week the bonnets have
appeared. That 1t Is spring, there
fore, goes without saying. Although
beautiful, the bonnets this
are far superior in loneliness
over those Of the past seasonal
least 80 the experts say. Colors have
changed a great deal, shapes have
changed and news that will doubtless
be learned with interest by the lord
Of the household, is that prices have
straightforward. The Yorkville
say that millinery articles
been purchased at much cheaper
prices than were those Of last spring
and therefore the cost Of milady's
will not be so great as
formerly.
With a large number Of hats on ex-
hibition, beautiful in design and ar
tistic makeup, the two Yorkville
firms who handle a full line Of MILL
merry effects-the Thomson Co. and the
elk Co., have thrown
open the doors Of their millinery es-
adjustments and are now busy exhi-
biting hats to the many ladies who
have called. The Kirkpatrick elk
Co., opened its parlors for the spring
season Tuesday, and the Thomson Co..
began the season this morning.
The popular colors this year are
brown, blues, battleship gray, sand
and black and white. The latter two
promises to be unusually strong and q
representative Of The Enquirer was
shown several beautiful hats at the
local stores trimmed in the above
colors. Large shapes seem
to be in vogue. Not 80 large as the
beautiful Merry Widow hats Of the
long ago; but quite a contrast with
the small turban affairs which have
predominated heretofore.
The war in Europe has created q
hat for York county ladies-or
maybe it was created by a song which
was inspired by the war. Anyway
the new model is called the clipper
airy hat"-a pretty little thing, some
what on the order Of the small turbans
have gone heretofore. Numer-
BUS ladies who have been shown the
models have been carried
away with It," 81 to speak, and 1t
bids fair to prove as popular as the
song.
Miss Georgia Burke, who Is again In
at Kirkpatrick Belk's, and who
Is assisted by Mrs. s. L. Steele and
Miss Annie Bludworth, showed an
Enquirer reporter a number Of hats
