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. Brydon designed all the decora
tions. Hagenow's orchestra furnished
music.

but now a resident of Cripple Creek.
This letter portrayed the social condi
