FINE MILLINERY

The millinery opening at the Si
Globe Dry Goods Co in Columbia
c on Wednesday was indeed a rev,s
elation. Such an amazingly large
0 line of hats could scarcely be imag- m
s ined if eye had not seen and brain
??. i-r-i ? ?
e aci ciwuin wun me wonaer ot
a it all. The store from the very
door is abloom with spring and is Kl<
n bordered and arched with masses of
lovely flowers leading back into the
e millinery department. U1
s There the women flocked from se
early hour to late and there they
found the widest sort of range for
their whims and fancies. Mr. Monck
0 ton, manager of the Globe, stated
n that he had bought a daringly large
1 line of millinery this year, but that
the great numbers in which the
women were flocking to the store,
* and the enthusiastic praise with
" which they were expressing their blJ
s admiration already justified his ven- _
* ture. ^
* All the hats are made in New ^
Y?rk or imported by the Northern
houses from Parisian shops and
1 they are the very latest things of St.
s the season; all are beautiful and <1*
l many are most distinctive and un- x

trich plumes used in every imagin- 33
able color, and by the exquisite <?
e quality of the flowers which appear S3
a in such quantities, both on the hats <x
. and in the show cases.
e The prices and style range from o|
s the simplest and most rtfrsonable to jK
