The spring millinery openings brought out hundreds of visitors to the large stone of J. Sutcliffe 8a Sons Inesday, and at no time during the afternoon or evening did the stream of visitors diminish. It is seldom one notices such an elegant display of mil- linery as has been placed before the public by this well-known firm. Not only were the imported. creations in feminine headgear from London, Paris and New .York, much admired, but also the artistic efforts of the firm's milliners were duly appreciated by all l‘OVers of fashion. - . . _ ‘ vavnu v- -wâ€"--.â€"â€" The spacious rooms were tastefully draped in pale green, and as seen through the curtained arch of the man- tle and carpet rooms one was struck with the quiet elegance of the mil- linery department, with its nodding palms, bright, flowers and soft dra ings of. silk. _- . \ ____-_~ -A..._...m :l- Miss Mitchell extends a. hearty in- vitation to her patrons, and any who have not visited the show rooms, to call in at any time and inspect one of the most complete and successful displays she has ever madeâ€"d1, I g , . v-uv nwvv â€"_â€" _v_ Vt of plaid strawberry ribbon, and black flowing osprey, fans of lace. green vel- vet foliage in front, ties of sherred net, knot of net and chiffon under side.

Great was the crash at R.

Pale pink shading to deep rose, the old tone of yellow merging into the deep burnt orange, which is the new and popular shade of this season, are much used, also pale blue, turquoise blue, royal blues, and fawn, it appears, is again in vogue. as is also that quaint, soft shade of pearl grey so becoming to many com- plgrions. __ As the seasons come and go the fair managers of the various millinery de- partments become more ambitious to make their displays the best from every point of View, aided. as they are by the limitless beauty or the goods shown thisseason.w\ .IIJ' WHAT WAS SEEN AT LAST TUESDAY NIGHT’S OPENINGS- How Our Wives and arm will Bro nous be mad-0m Bloc.
