It was annouced by the Union Do- t
irtment Store, the New York c
icket, The A. H. Foster Co. and \
e MeLure Mercantile Company I
at their annual Spring opening d
juld take place this week and it c
is a singular coincidence that at e
iist three of them announced the d
me day, Tuesday, April 2nd, as the t
,y. This was apparently too much t
r the weather and it vigorously pro- ii
sted by opening up its flood-gates, r
id allowing a down-pour of rain a
lich lasted throughout the day. t
le ladies were consequently pre- o
nted from coming up town to feast f
eir eyes upon the beautiful sights d
at had been M|(isged with much I
tistic taste an3 painstaking effort, o
it the nQercfturats did not intend to c
out done by the weather and so n
e show was marked continued, t
>rtunately Wednesday was a beau- a
ul sunshining Spring day, though s
thercool, and the ladies sallied forth fi
>m tneir homes to take in the sights t
d they had a day's job ahead of s
em to go round and see it all, I
We did not want to get left so we d
cided to take a peep into all this o
reliness ourselves, so we strolled g
ouud from one place to another and c
> saw a good deal. We regret that t
r limited space restrains us from s
lling it all, we therefore just take a n
ev snap shots. p
We were at once attracted by the ji
autiful display in the show wjndow s
The A. H. Foster Co. It was a li
uutiful sight and is one of the s
ettfest windows we have ever seen e
Union. Its artistic arrangement f<
is the handiwork of Mr. J. B. w
organ, one of the popular clerks of t
e establishment. There were beau- s
'ully trimmed hats hanging over s
lich were long streamers of wide and a
stly lace gathered up in loops sus- b
nded from the top, and in the bend b
each was a lovely bunch of violets, b
oklng as fresh as if just plucked o
)m the plant. In the center,of c
e window stood a live palm. The t:

e felt sure this scene meant more p
autiful sights within and we walked L
ck to the millinery department tl
lere the display was to be seen, tl
e were taken in hand by manager h
F. Arthur, who was overflowing ti
th enthusiasm over the beautiful o
splay in the millinery department,
id well he might be, for it was per- d
ctly lovely. He seized first one h
id then another of the beautiful e
its, the trimming of which seemed v
o dainty and delicate for the rude tl
uch of the musculine geader, and o
> trembled for fear he might let one E
them fall in his enthusiasm, as he d
ttled off the jawbreaklng names 0 G
i? trimmings and styles* We geat] f (h
\
emined h<m that we wore not taking
lotes in short hand, ut:d with u laweh
le introduced us to his milliner, Miss
darie Graham, ofUtica, X. V., while
le hurried out to attend to customers
n another department. Miss (iridium
strictly iip-to-the-hour in the mi!uiery
business, and is ably assisted
>y Miss Roberta Hicks, of Union,
let ween them they had arranged en
irtistie and at tractive display of hats,
j-es and flowers, of which there was
i great abundance. Our especial ??ention
was directed to two "new
hings" in the hat line, and t hey were
leauties. Ono was tho "rainbow
iat," trimmed in six colors of chiffon,
duck velvet ribbon, and gilt bruid
fiie colors were neatly blended and
lad quite a "rainbow" appearance.
I'here was not a (lower on it. It was
sertainly a beauty. We were afraid
o ask the prico of this beautiful creition.
Another novelty was the
"Pancake." While this name has
iot a very euphonious sound for
<ci-s' headgear, and is rather sugjesbive,
s.t tho same time the hat
tsblf is a'l r'ghf, and is another
jeauty trimmed in black and gold
villi no flowers. The most elaboritely
tr aimed hat is possibly the
L'uscan, trimmed on top with foliage
if varigated colors and black ribbon,
vhile underneath there is a profusion
if beautiful pink roses of the running

jerfect in detail. We conld fill a
:olumn about the beautiful arches,
he fine silks, the pretty flowers, etc,
iut we must hurry on. Our thanks
ire due Miss Graham who so kindly
inllghtened us regarding the differentnillinery
creations before us, about
rhich we often found our3elf at sen.
"he predominating colors were yelow
and white at Foster's.
M'LURE MERCANTILE CO.
We dropped in to McLuro's a few
ninutes. We found that Miss Fanlie
Clark, the milliner in charge, was
way at dinner. But she with the
ssistance of Miss Lillie Goforth had
irranged a neat display of pretty,
ind handsomely trimmed hats, whim
he show cases wore full of the most
leautiful collection of flowers of
ivery variety and shade. One of the
iat8 was especially attractive and
dcelv trimmed. It occunied a con
picuous position In the upright show
ase. It was only $0.00. We have
een hats not so pretty at a higher
iriee. The silks and satins used for
rimming were draped from the ehelvng,
they were of every variety and
olor. While the millinery departnent
is small, it is a cosy little nook
nd the pretty hats and decorations
nade it very attractive in appearance.
)ne of the most attractive features
if the place is that they sell their
tats cheap.
THE NEW YORK RACKET.
This famous emporium, as heretoore,
was right up in the front on the
ipening business. They don't know
vhat it is to be outdone in arranging
in opening no more than they know
vhat it,means to bo out done in sating
goods. They have for a number
>f years been recognized as leaders in
he arrangement of an opening ooasion,
and they seem determined to
lold the record up. They not only
lave their opening in the millinery
lepartment but the whole force
latches the spirit of the occasion and
ivery department is trimmed and
lecorated in holiday attire. The
teautiful front window first attracts
he attention of the passer by, and
ts contents, beautiful and neatly aranged,
has an inviting appearance,
nd one can hardly resist the tempatlon
to go Inside and drink deeper
f the pretty soene within. Here you
ound dress goods of every imaginable
lescription and fabric, reaching in
ong draping folds from top to bottom
f the tall shelving, with the different
olors blending in the most attractive
nanner. These dress goods are of
he latest wool fabrics in every shade
nd color, nunsveillng, cashmeres,
ilks, foulards, louisines, wash tafettas,
Japs silks, striped grenadines,
ucked taffettas, Paris lawns, satin
triped dimities, bonlta silks, Yang
so, Foulards Persian lawns, organi08
and pongee from Paris, are a few
f the innumerable kinds of dress
oods to be seen on the shelving and
ounters, it is almost bewildering to
ake it all in. One simply has to see
uch a sight to appreciate it. In the
nillinery department?well that deartment,
as everybody knows, is
list too cute. And on opening occtr
ions it is a veritable vision of loveness,
and with its beautiful and
tylish hats here and there, tempting
nougli to command a purchase, with
Bros and flowers, living palms,
rreaths of roses, trailing vines, beauiful
streamers of colored silk ribbon
tretching hither and thither on every
ide, hanging in hoops and wreaths
bove and tastely arranged bouquets
elow. Festoons of ribbon, pink and
lue, all about. No wonder one
ecomes bewildered in such a bower
f loveliness. While a string band
oncealed nearby rendered a musical
reat in addition to the pretty ?cene.

TIN ION COTTOn M IT.L DEPARTMENT STOKK
Here we find one of the most commodious
and handsome millinery departments
to be found in tho up
country. It is the beautiful, large
hall over the Company office and
connected with the second floor of
the mammoth departmeut store. Mr.
\V. P. Thomson, the popular and
hustling young manager of this esi
tablishment, took us to the millinery
department and showed us around,
until we began to wade into questions
/ nn/>nrni n Ka
vvwwtiiiug me uiacicuu uoautuui
creations when he became as helpless
as we, and called in his milliner,
Miss Mary Coates, the accomplished
trimmer from New York, to whom he
introduced us, and breathed a sigh of
relief. Miss Coates kindly Phowed
us through the large stock of beautifully
trimmed hats for ladies, and
patieDtly endeavored to enlighten us
regarding those things of which we
were painfully ignorant. We were
especially attracted by the beautiful
decoration of tho department which,
while it was not especially gorgeous,
was neatly and artistically arranged,
showing the touch of a master hand.
The shelving were trimmed at the
top with a deep border of white and
green bunting in block designs, ,
which, with a row of jardiniers con- (
tainlng palms arranged from end to '
end on the top of the shelving, and
a row of incandescent lights just underneath
the border work, presented
a picture most pleasing to tho eye.
On the left the wall was covered, to a 4
considerable extent, with original
boxes of the most benutiful flowers
and roses which lent additional
splendor to tho scene. Here and !
there about the room stood full length
tripple mirrors reflecting the pretty
sights from every quarter, and near
tho east wall stood a very tall palm,
the largest b.y odds we have seen in
this country, while singlo hat stands
stood about the room each bedecked
with a beautiful trimmed hat, helped
to round up the attractive picture.
Just across the way was anarch,
under which the ribbons In great pro
rusion were to be bought at especial
bargains, and the ladies informed us
that there had never been such a ribbon
sale before in the store's history.
Beautifully printed cards huug i.bout
the room, suspended by pretty ribbons
culling attention to the bargain
sale of ribbons, etc., while beneath a
another streamer of roses and autumn
tinted foliage hung a card framed in
roses which read "Opening Day."
The sight, as a whole, was a perfect
feast for the eye of even the connoiseur.
There were so many pretty .
and handsomely trimmed hats of '
every imaginable design and shape
that we cannot begin to mention ,
them all. Among the b.eauties shown
us we mention only a line leghorn
trimmed with lace and feathers, a
cute little turban trimmed with
chiffon, lace and gilt with a magnitioent
gilt rose. It was a sparkler admired
by all the ladies. Handsome
st reet hats trimmed in various styles.

The rain the early part of the 1
week interfered with the arrangement "
of the merchants for opening day to '
some extent, but notwithstanding
this fact we think we can say that
Union has had the biggest "opening"
for Easter we have ever seen here. 9
