GORGEOUS DISPLAY
.OF AUTUMN STYLES
KINGSTREE MERCHANTS HOLD
FALL OPENING FESTIVAL OF
MILLINERY AND COAT SUITS

MILLINERY AND COAT SUITS
The semi-annual, or autumn open
ing festival. took place at the lead
ing department stores yesterday. II
was really ladies day" and from
what we could see and hear we be-
live they were about all 'on the
job" Many were noted from the
country, having arrived early by
train or automobile. Their presence
was a pleasure to the merchants
who had specially arranged the show
for their inspection and criticism
In the millinery department of the
Silverman Department Store Miss
Willie Clarke had arranged a splend'
i'd array of pretty things for patrons
of the store. Miss Clarke, herself
young lady of pleasing personality
and charming manner, we venture
to say. added much to the pleasure
of the ladies who inspected her de.
partment yesterday with all the
earnestness they could command,
for every comment we heard was
highly favorable. This popular store
also had on display an elegant line
of coat suits and other ready-to-wear
garments, while its line of beautiful
dress fabrics in silks and wool was
unusually attractive.
The big store on the corners
Marcus'-was besieged all day yes
terday by ladies from in and out of
town. They were there to inspect,
try-on, take.off, scrutinize, and try
on again the beautiful line of pat
tern hats that Mrs Marcus had pro-
vided for the festival. This, too,
was greatly augmented by the chick
and dainty creations of Miss Ruth
Nettles. whose skill in the millinery
art seems to be second gift of ma
ture rather than training, although
she has studied it in detail in one of
the larger cities. This store also
had on display handsome line of
coat suits and ready-to-wear gar
ments for ladies and misses.
Next, we "butted" into the store
of the Kingstree Dry Goods Go,
where we were confronted by a
busy scene. Besides the Messrs
Swails, Misses Retha Burgess and
Annie Baker and tina" charming little
milliner", Miss Shipley, there were
dozens of ladies, some were trying
on toques, while others were dill
gently adjusting little skull caps or
sombreros, then there were others
eagerly "devouring" the beautiful
line of dress goods, ready-to-wears,
and the dainty neck harness. ," This
was plainly no place for father"
yesterday. 1t was mothers, daugh-
ters' or sisters day and HE didn't
have a ghost of chance beyond a
look in"
THE SEASONS STYLES.
They are termed toques. sailors,
turEans, sailors, skull caps and tri-
cornes. Of these the sailors and
toques seem to have precedence in
the realm of fashion. These are
trimmed in flowers and not infre-
quently a catchy metallic ornament
as a side, front or rear embellish.
ment. Felt, velvet and silk in all col.
ors are the leading materials usedi in
the seasons shapes" and without
the flowers and other ornamental
tions they would not stand for much
in beauty contest, and without a
properly adjusted face veil no top
piece" will express true distinctness
and correctness this season, says
dame fashion.
