The winter colonists are, so it is said, coming south a little sooner this season and before long ali the homes on the Hill, wTiich have been barred and shuttered for many months, will be opened up and occupied. The touch of fall in the air and the pretty clothes dispU . ed in the store w indows are a combination that makes the average woman long for the cool, crisp days of th@-coming late fall. Summer clothes are tired and weary looking, yet it is too warm to don fall ones just yet, but there is the comfort of being able to wear some of the stunning new creations In head gear and the woman who cannot find comfort in lhat Is hopeiess indeed. The appearance for three performances of "The Merry Widow" was the occasion of some stunning costumes being seen at the Grand. While It was in a great measure a go-as-you-please audience and every variety of costume from a shirt waist suit to elaborate evening dress was seen there were still a number of beautiful gowns seen.
