ADLER** MILLINERY OPE* I TO.
The fall opening of Deopoid Adler waa
one of the most au ee**ful the great house
has ever made. A more gorgeous array
of hat* haa never been seen here.
All day long the big store was thronged
with ladies. They arrived early and staid
late.
The new boas and collarettes In bronae
and grays are rich and reflect credit upon
Miss Ma< kensle t who presides over this
deportment. The fall hats are all pretty.
The shapes are much more atrtklng than
they w**re a year ago and the particular
selection* nt Adler's seem to have com
bined every single creation which Is. and
which approaches the best and most novel.
This depart men t w ore a pleasing attire
yesterday. It waa beautifully festooned
with greens and the arrangement of the
gorgeous headwear wa* artistic. There
was a grand display In the ehlrtw*alst de

w re the very heat things they had seen.
In the department of evening good* a
fine array of all kinds of fabrics was
made. Embroidered chiffon* of exquisite
designs, rich appliques, gilt trimming, re
naissance a I lovers, novel creation* in col
larettes beautiful silk nd flannel ap
pliqucd robes were shown. Mr. Fantl pre

It 1* provided with e leva tor* run
hy electricity; it Is lighted by
both gas and electricity and is
the only department store. In the true
fcnse. In Georgia. Each department man-*
ages Its affair* separately.

portions. People who read of the unheard
of bargains, and who are not able to
come to Ravannah to personally make *e
lec'ion*. hii taking advantage of the mall*
and by the lita-ra! fair treatment which
I* accorded them and the strict attention
given their older*, they do not hesitate

of the hou.-e to pF*** them. In this they
never seem to he mistaken —ad.
