I Kingstree's three fashionable mili linery emporiums held their usual L "spring openings" Thursday and FViday of last week. The attendance at all three places was unusually large and the hats displayed?from I a masculine view-point?seem more | on the common-sense style and show ^ less of the freakishness that has has been a marked characteristic of feminine head-wear models for sevt eral seasons gone. Instead of the fair faces of the wearers being alA most entirely eclipsed by coal scuttie, peach-basket and flowerpot efH fects heretofore by courtesy yclept W hats,the new models show a tenden|H cy to roll from the face. Every miljB linery parlor is making a feature of BB the small hat?bonnet and turban styles?close fitting and most of ^^Bthem rather simple as to trimming. ^^ Let it by no means be understood lovers hflvp Hi<yinr)eared. rbtiav btiv (*ww . w ? r x Alas, no. They are here in all their glory and we fear will continue for a long time to figure prominently in millinery openings. The large hats shown include a broad brim.curving abruptly across the front (we presume it's the front),being very wide from side to side, with large floral garnitures, and a tendency toward small flowers sewn flat. Many Napoleon shapes are displayed, the straw being flexible. The Helen Taft hat, the butterfly creation and ^ the coral trimmed hats are well represented at all the parlors we had the pleasure of visiting. Miss Frances Hitchens, a most competent trimmer and designer,has charge of the Kingstree Dry Goods Co's millinery department The hats she has already trimmed and designed bear ample testimony to her distinguished ability. Many beautiful and fascinating creations of the millinery art-are displayed at the establishment of Mr 8 Marcos. The celebrated line of hats, manufactured by Gage Bros of Paris and New York, and the not less noted house of Johnson, of New I York, for which Mr Marcus is local agent, have sent out this season an unusual variety of master-pieces in all the latest styles?an artistic comONL J ' The Mastei Hand \/ y J A th? mannc el*thc> ] 1 11 M Uirill(ui> I i r r~jH M mojtccrta I / 1 fit and p! * : I If you and \ | v"\"7 |\ P4'*4 40 Hi \1 A \ i\ put t#s,t h W /V.

Gale & Gale's cosy little millinery store presents a pleasing spectacle j and a more attractive display of ladies' hats and trimmings would be hard to find in any town or city. This enterprising firm studies nothI ing but millinery and the allied arts, and,needless to say, their spring of* : ferings are up to the highest standl ard. Large hats, little hats, trimmed i and untrimmed, they are here Galejore (pardon a poor pun) and all in : the height of style up to Dame FashI ion's dainty finger tips.

It is gratifying to learn that all I the millinery steres have had spleni did openings, the crowds attending 1 Kci'ntr lororar than pver hefore. Our town is growing and with increased population comes a demand for fashionable personal adornment. In moderation this spirit is commendable,and we are glad to see that our local dealers have met this demand. Let it be a matter of civic pride not to buy elsewhere anything that can be bought in Kingstree, provided,of course, that full value is offered. That is the only way to build up a town. Give the home people a chance and if the honest merchant cannot meet foreign competition he will tell you so and no one will blame you for patronizing out-of-town concerns. But give the home merchant the first chance. It is now against the law to send a weekly paper to a subscriber longer than one year on credit.
