Roofs Spring Opening In Feminine Fashion. Friday and. Saturday will be the millmeryopeningdaysat W. P. Roof's well known department store. Never before have the ladies of Lexington , and snrronnding country had such an opportunity to satisfy their wants in the matter of head gear. The selections ofinillinery at this store embrace all the latest Parisian creations, and a glance in this department, where Miss Brown, the charming little designer, is busy preparing for the big event, . would make one think of gay Paree, London or New York. On Friday morning the fruits of weeks of skilful labor will flower forth intoadazzling array of feminine headwear, of infinitely diverse shape and fashioning, yet all bearing the peculiarly distinctive stamp of present style. A glance by the repoiter yesterday revealed the information that this is unquestionably a season of flowers. The edict has gone forth. Just who issued it may not be certainly known, unless it be ascribed to that well-known lady, Dame Fashion, but therecaabenodoubfc that the charmed * circles who bow to her mandate with the nfcmbftt iriace have afcauiesced in her decision. A further description of the hats that will be on displav as Roof's would proba&iy be out of place just at this time. *'Suffice it to say, however, that it will be the greatest opening in the history of the store, and those who attend with the expectation of seeing a "thing of beauty $nd a joy forever," * will not be disappointed.
