BUTTS COUNTY PROGRESS VOLUME 26 MILLINERY And Dress Goods Opening at New York S*ore. Women Visit Beautiful Display And Of Course, Babel of Tongues Prevails. Opening week at the New York Store! Well, you know what it means! Windows, counters and aisles, all dressed in the latest fashion, “to the queens taste.” The dress goods were artist ically displayed. Mrs. King and Miss Browning know how to show you goods, and can arrange fab ric pleasing to the eye. The Progress regrets its lack of space in which to mention especially some of the panamas, voiles etc., but must hurry on to the millinery department where the ladies are thronging with such exclamations as these: “This is mine!” “Isn’t this a dream!” “Prettiest thing I ever saw!” “I’m crazy about this '’Merry Widow’ with all of these flowers and ribbons piled so high.” Then another says: “I like the ‘Merry Widow’ but what I like better is this ‘Soul Kiss’ — just look at it—isn’t it a peach? I like wings on mine.” Thus you listen and hear, and truly this is a bower of loveliness —pot plants, artificial flowers, gay ribbons and style every where. Large hats are the rage, and trimmed so that they present a broad and high effect. All shades of American beauty trimmings are very popular. In dressy hats colors run most ly to white or natural tones. A very handsome hat displayed at this opening was a white picture hat, of filet lace with bell shaped crown, encircled with loops of white satin ribbon edged with lillies of the valley and white wysteria, and at the left side were two long graceful ostrich flumes. Lack of space forbids our describing other much admired hats. Many people are looking, pric ing, buying and going home to ■dream of all this loveliness.
