MILLINERY OPEN
INGS THIS WEEK.
?
BEAUTIFUL DISPLAYS ATTRACT
DELIGHTED THRONGS OF
THE GENTLER SEX.
Yesterday was another gala day
for the women folk. !t was the
opening day for the display of fall
millinery, coats, coat suits, etc.
When we went into the three big
department stores to look over the
pretty beaver-velvet creations,thdre
were no ladies present to hear us
express an opinion.criticise our views
upon the various shapes or turn up
thoir nnsp* heeause of our bad taste
in making selections.
This semi-annual inspection trip,
as we have said before, always causes
us more than a little embarrassment,
because we know so little about the
things we are to write about. What
we think catchy or fascinating anyone
else might pronounce hideous.
Then, when we go to our desk to
write about the things we have seen,
to tell a plain, simple, truthful story
about them, we are seized by an inevitable
fear of offending some
good friend because we did not say
enough in praise of the "little milliner's"
artistic display or the merits
of her goods.
We love peace, and if there is any
possible way of keeping in the good
graces of fellow beings we mean to
do it.
Early in the afternoon we started
on our little fall tour of inspection
by dropping into the popular store
of the Kingstree Dry Goods Go,
where Miss Frances Johnson, assisted
by Mrs Dell Sedgwick, had arranged
a festival of pretty things
for the ladies of Kingstree and surrounding
country. Miss Retha Burgess
and Mr Lawrence Swails greeted
their friends and patrons on the
main floor and in their usual poiite
and gracious manner entertained
them by showing the new and beautiful
lines of dress goods, neckwear,
shoes and such other accessories as
are required to set the average lady
on the pinacle of fashion.
At Mr Marcus' store we. as usual,
found a handsome display of the
celebrated Gage Bros hats in shapes
and sizes ranging from the turban
to the wide-brimmed black beavers
or "Trench" hats with gold bands.
These hats are all very pretty and
stylish and notable for symplicity in
design and are made up chiefly of
hatter's plush, felt, velvet or beaver,
the last-named material predominating
in black. Mrs Marcus has
an elegant display of coat suits and
long coats in all the leading materials
and styles.
At Silverman s score our eyes
sprain feasted on similar beautiful
things in millinery and we were convinced
that the same styles are prevalent
the country over, for here
the same creations in velvet, plush
and felt were the leaders. Mrs Silverman's
display was attractively
arranged. A nice line of dress
goods, ladies' ready-to-wear dresses,
coats and coat suits are also being
shown by the salesladies, while "old
man" Dave and the boys take care
of those who vv^nt shoes, clothing
i and the less exclibive articles of ap^
parel.
A large. number of interested
buyers and spectators visited the
stores during the day and the proprietors
each report of most satisfactory
opening.

MRS NANCY BARRETT OF ANDERSON
TELLS HER GRATITUDE.
Thankful for Help. Tells of Terrible
Hardship She Was Forced to Endure
and How She Won at Last.
Mrs Nancy Barrett, of 113
l:ind Ave. Anderson, on Mnv '21.1
gave the following statement: "I
took Tanlac for general breakdown.
My back hurt nie terribly all the
time and I had stomach trouble
badly. I had no appetite and never
ate anything much.
"The Tanlac did me more good
than any other medicine I ever
took. It gave me a good appetite
and soon I was feeling hungry almost
all day long. The medicine
soon relieved the backache, madei
me strong and regulated my whole |
system. I am glad to recommend .1
it, for it is such a fine medicine." !
Tanlac, the master medicine, is j
sold by Kingstree Drug Co, Kings-1
