The Famous millinery opening, which took place Thursday evening was an event which but marks the success of the season which is at hand. The store was brilliantly illuminated and together with the gay and artistic decorations made a scene which could not but appeal to everyone's aesthetic taste. The east window, If we may judge by the comments of people, was more at tractive than the west, though that was exceedingly novel. The east window was trimmed in beautiful shades of coquelicot and geranium, red was used as a background and sev eral exquisite pattern hata were the most prominent dec orations. There was just a touch of green here and there that dispelled all suspicion of monotony. A lovely shade of violet was used as a background In the west window. The prominent feature was a tower in white which reached to the ceiling. Several hats were displayed in this window. Sprays of flowers in just the right place lent an added charm. The spacious hall was decorated In a most lavish and gorgeous style. Ropes of smllax. caught at Intervals by bunches of roses, were festooned around the room. Each department was well represented, some special fea ture being shown designating the de partment. On a whole, this wa3 the finest dis play ever shown in the city. Mr. Hus sel J.
