committee, to be held at 4 o'clock this
afternoon, at which the committee

FALL Opening
At M'EWEN'S IS
FASHION SHOW
Shades and Tones of Browns
and Tans Make Annual
Feature Appropriate.

McEwen's fall opening, yesterday
was the occasion for gathering OF
Pine Bluffs women folk at the popu-
lar Main street establishment, where
the new things in style were on dis
play, and where the gentler sex found
much to admire and figure on for the
autumn conquests.
Browns, in all the shades and
tones, plum, the new Burgundy, the
cid reliable blues and blacks, the
rich puppies, the subdued greys, all
are included in this seasons array
of color. There are likewise many
methods displayed of toning the FOR
eign designs to suit the American
ideas, and each seems better than the
others, until another catches the
eye. 80 "'
The McEwen store was tastefully
tho simply decorated for the occa-
sion, fall flowers and foliage giving
the seasonable tone. The almost curt
expression "ready to wear" hardly
fits the display of handsome suits,
gowns, and coats shown in the store,
nor does it do justice to the sepa-
rate waists and skirts, the dashing
showing OF millinery or the most at
tractive art department where MI.
Vining holds forth.
In costumes, the lighter and more
dainty materials are shown; in
coats and suits, the range is wide as
to cut and lines, just as it is in the
materials, the trimmings, the finish.
Furs, of course, are there, in all
their richness, and in multitudes of
uses. Catching the eye, are the sport
suits, the jerseys, emblematic Of the
great outdoors where the autumn
girl holds full sway.
Mrs. Sweet has a bewildering dis
play of millinery, where again is
shown the wide range of style for
the women folk-the small tocque
holding it's own beside the very large,
wide brimmed affair. Two especially
handsome pieces of headgear are a
Maurice model of purple trimmed
with Impion, and a Joseph model OF
amber and purple, with straight
brim

CROWD OF CIJY'S

tend Annual Meeting Of
Chamber of Commerce.

An attendance of 100 members and
friends is expected at the annual
smoker and Dutch luncheon of the
chamber Of commerce to take place
| this evening at the Pines hotel, and
Secretary E. B. Bloom and other Of
ficers Of the organization are of the
opinion the affair will be one of the
most enjoyable ever given by the
chamber of commerce.

o'clock. There will be no formal adj
dresses, the program being to have a
series of informal short talks only.
President N. J. CAN'T, Jr., will pre-
side over the affair, during which it

present, so strongly that it will
"take."
The invitations to the affair state
specifically that there will be no fl
nancial pledges asked during the
evening. The only business to be
transacted at the affair will be the
election of eight trustees to succeed
eight whose terms are about to expire,
and the impression prevails that the
incumbents will be reelected by &C
