THE universal sorrow over the death of President McKinley casts a shade of deepest gloom over
the pleasure we had anticipated in welcoming you to our Formal Fall Opening to-morrow. The
gala decorations we had planned for "Opening Day" have given place to the somber trappings of
national mourning. While the beauty and brightness of the New Fabrics, Garments and Millinery re
main unchanged, our hearts are too heavy to lend themselves to the enthusiasm we would otherwise feel.
i
Grand Opening
Of New Autumn Millinery,
Paris has outdone herself this year in the production of most artistic Mil
linery. Never have the creations of one season surpassed the previous
records so far as this year and never have we been able to bring to you such
ideal Hats ideal iu graceful shapes, ideal in harmonious color combinations
as this year. You will agree with us that this openiug display is the greatest
ever attempted in St. Louis. We direct attention to these special features :
About the Imported Parisian Models We have selected Hats of the most fa
mous Parisian makers that seemed to embody the very essence of this year's best modes.
Just a hint of the celebrated names may be welcome.
Esther Meyer. Man. Vfrnf,
Camflle RoRer, Mans. Felix.
Marencot Soeonrs, Caroline Relionx,
Anclenne Malson.
Word About New York Models The
most dreaded competitor of Paris as a fashion center is
New York; not only are the New York styles "catchy"
in the extreme, but they make a bold and frequently
successful effort to improve on every new Parisian mode.
Our line of New York hats is the most extensive we
baTe ever shown.
The Famous Florodora Hat The cut
gives yon only a hint of the beauty of this new hat, a
worn by Mrs. Edna Wallace Hopper in "Florodora."
The artist's pen is powerless to give full effect to the
graceful lines and rich beauty of this much-talked-of hat.
The Pretty Maiden's Hat Another Floro
dora success. This is a copy of the hat worn by each of
the sextet of American beauties in "Florodora." It is a
large black hat, with wonderful nodding plumes.
BOBS Are the Swell Tiling in New York
Attention is directed to the handsome Coque-Maribout
Boas, in bine, white and gray, and the wonderfnl Os
trich Boas we are showing.
London Shirt Waist Hats Our showing of
these famous hats and of ready-to-wear hats is unsur
passed. The exhibit includes a great variety, of the
celebrated Phipps & Atchison haU.
Novelties in Materials Our collection of
fancy feathers, fancy ostrich effects, autumn roses and
foliage, fancy ornaments, buckles and the array of beau
tiful new materials is unmatched in the West.
Opening Week in
The Great Cloak and Suit Room.
Commencing to-morrow we will show the new and beautiful styles for the coming fall season
in Ladies' Ready-to-Wear Garments. Some very radical changes from previous season's models afe
shown, and you may require some time to get accustomed to those great innovations and decide which
of the many you will choose. We invite you all to this First Formal Fall Opening and shall be pleased
to show you
The Correct Styles in Suits, Wraps, Waists, Sep
arate Skirts and Fine Furs for Fall and Winter.
Correct Styles in Cloth Gowns The new Cloth Gowns are prettier and more varied
in style than ever, mostly in rough materials, such as basket weaves, blind cheviots, camel's hair and
herringbone cloths, etc., made in long and
"S-aS-
short coat styles blouse, vest-front Eton,
Louis XIV. hip, seam coats and tight-fitting
effects. Prevailing colors are grays, oxford,
wood brown, black and navy blue. We show
the greatest line of these nobby suits from
$10.00 up. All silk lined, with ruffled drop
skirts to match the cloth; at 19.75 up.
Correct Styles in Walking Suits
The new Walking Suit is all the rage for early
fall street wear, and well they deserve their
popularity, for when made correctly they are
certainly the most sensible suit a woman ever
wore for the street and shopping. The skirt
is made to barely escape the ground and with
considerable flare at tUe bottom, with the new
Norfolk and tight-fitting coat or waist, which
are most becoming and entirely new. We
show these in all the fashionable materials,
including the very swell corduroy velvets, at
from 12.50 to $40.00 the suit.

New Styles in Separate
Skirts Strikingly new
is the tight-fitting "serpentine"
skirt the name is suggested from the tightness from the waist to the knees-
below the knees this skirt flares out sharply and trains considerably, and has '
a full watteau of accordion or sun plaiting back, which is entirely new and
beautiful in its effect These swell skirts are of etamine, taffeta silk, soft
cheviot and of velvet, and we wish to remark that yon can form no idea of
the novelty and the beauty of the "serpentine" skirts until you've seen them.
. We show these in a great variety from $18.75 to $125.00 each.
(Ask to see the new "Garter Skirt" to be worn with the above.)
Fashionable Long Garments Coats, pelisses, surtouts, raglans,
ulsters or whatever you may call the long garment they are, in their various
forms of looseness and tightness, going to be extremely popular.
The lengths are from 45 to 60 inches, extending from a little below
the knee clear down to the floor. Some are extremely loose, some
are quite tight fitting the very loose styles are gotten up. ex
tremely dressy and are for carriage and theater wear, while the
tight and partly tight effects are for street wear. We show a most
at m compicic imc 01 iucsc itrag garments, su irom $ii.uu io pizo.uu eacn.
