WELL! The First Day of Our Spring Display Proved A Gratifying Success in Spite of the Inclement Weather. Early in the morning the ladies flocked in and soon every department was a scene of busy interest, but it was in the Millinery Parlor where they congregated in greatest numbers, and business was brisk. Indeed, the eagerness manifested in securing the gems of our Trimmed Hats in such large numbers and the many orders taken early in the day was in every sense gratifying a as going to show that our styles please and touch a popular chord, and this, without considering the floods of compliments bestowed on our Trimmed and Untrimmed Hats and goods of all kinds for Hat Building. It encourages us to believe that we are going to have an even More Prosperous Millinery Season Than last year, and we considered that a phenomenally good one. You may be sure of one thing -no effort nor expense has been spared in the selection of the best the home and foreign markets have brought out, touching even on the extremes of style so that all tastes can be satisfied.

Another pleasing thing to keep in mind are the really reasonable prices that prevail. This fact has been freely commented upon by the ladies visting the Department. Our Display of Untrimmed Hats Is very large, and there is a bewildering variety of shapes and remarkable combinations in straws. Small and medium sizes are in the lead, the broad brims being more appropriate for summer wear. Surely there is not a style of face nor any age that cannot be fully suited.

Among them most notable for originality of form and piquant eccentricity in combinations of colors is the Dainty, Huldah, Parisian, Hat, Fauvelle, Beauty, Racket, Bert-. ram, Aranker, Trianon, Beauty, England, Coronet-just a few of the many to show how great must be the variety.
