1904 SPRING OPENING'S. *
On Tuesday and Wednesday of last week 1
tbe usual "Spring Opening ' waB held In
three emporiums of fashion In our city and to
ay It was tbe grandest display of ladles;goods
' ?mr aonn In Ahhnvllle 18 DOt tOO DQUCb.
The "show windows" of each store were 1
most artistically dressed, with beautlfnl 0
goods, and was only a preface to tbe Inside
when the soene of dazzling beauty tbat met J
tbe eye on every wide was like an encbanted ''
bower In fairy land, while tbe millinery departments
were veritable flower gardens. e
beautiful and sweet in fancy as a midnight "
dream. *
Each emporium was a rare scene of love- ?
liness, presenting to the ladles the most *
beautiful and artistic display of all tbe novel- b
ties and latest styles, and fads of tbe Beaoon.
We interviewed quite a number o( ladles "
as to which store tbey thought bad the most ol
attractive display and their reply was"tbey c
were ail so beautiful we could not tell, all to- ?'
getber this spring opening was tbe prettiest 11
we ever saw In Abbeville,'' and we believe
this was the general verdict.
Both days onr streets were filled wltb
ladles each eager to see the grand display.
We think the "Opening" lever was contagious
for all along tbe "Broadway" of tbe
city the "genu furnishing" stores were ary-oncroH
mnii Itroitllvdlv and even CSDt.
White's large dry goods store on tbe corner ?
was neatly dressed ; In faot, on entering and
beholding the beautiful display of pretty
dress goods, one would have tbougbt tbey
were In one of the emporiums of fashion. m
L. T. and T. M. Miller had their store very tt
: tastily and artistically arranged. In the oen- til
ter a large booth was arranged, white canned sc
goods were bnlll In pyramids about the n!
shelves, presenting a most onldne and at- cc
tractive appearanoe. How were the ladles In
served? Well tbey were served from the pi
**booth"ln tbe 20tb century style to hot cboo- 01
- late "O and O" lea of the finest flavor, 'White
Btar" coffee rich In aroma, and delicious to cx
the taste. banquet wafers, pickle, preserves, tc
Jellies and other good things made up tbe ci
royal feast that wus served to each and every is
- * lady. b
This was indeed a novel and grand Intro- se
