Millinery Opening at the Racket Store.
- The millinery exhibit at the
elegant Racket parlors was in
keeping with the auspicious day
in every respect, The frost in
the early morning had prophesied
renewed energy and an awaken
ing in the commercial world and
the busy day at the Racket helped
to fulfil the prediction.
There was a perfect mass-of
millinery suited to every purse
and it took a critical eye indeed to
detect the cheaper grade of milli
nery from the most elaborate, so
well had the stock been chosen
and arranged.
Mrs. Hamilton’s parlors have
been lately re-fitted and a more
inviting resort for ladies cannot
be found in the city. Assistants
on the notable day were Mrs. D.
Sartin, Miss Maud MbCaiip and'
Miss Ellen Cogden. Letter-hold
ers, in artistic design, were pre
sented as souvenirs of the occa
sion. _

FRUITS AND CONFECTIONERY
Millinery Opening si John McGrath
& Sons.
Nature and art conbined on
Thursday to make the day one of
the most convivial and attractive
that has been known in our com
mercial history. In the midst of
“music, mirth arid millinery,”
however, the sordid pocketbook is
almost forgotten on such occasions
in the more aesthetic delights of
the hour.
The beautiful gowns, creations
of Mrs. J. T. Gotten, made a su
perb exhibit; and enthusiasm
“o’er-leapt” itself several times
during the admiring inspection of
exquisite art exemplified both in
dress and millinery. The trim
mer, Miss Holland, seemed a part
of her deft handiwork and was so
unobtrusive and gentle in her
manner, that she won all favor,
while her bats sold rqpidly, ap
parently, as a result.
Elegant little souvenirs were
distributed and made a “charm”
for my lady’s chatelaine or belt
and added their daintiness to the
elegance of the occasion.
Prof. Leake’s band was a de
light to music lovers; and the day
was, pre-eminently, a social event
during which the popular firm of
John McGrath & Sons scored a
great financial success as well, for
their unprecedented display of
beautiful dress goods, trimmings,
etc., together with their mil
linery, was irresistible.
The familiar faces of Misses
Ina McKee and Jet Graham greet
ed every guest, and helped to
make each one “at home” with
consequent composure, so neces
sary in the usual attendant exeita.
tion of “trying on a bonnet.”
Some of the “Tommy Atkins,”
“Napoleons,” “polos,” etc., were
“trying” indeed; and gave a few
large, dignified ladies, more “de
signed for Gainsboroughs or
“Maud Mullers,” a case of nerves.
But the McGraths can’t stop in
their pursuit after up-to-now
styles and goods, for a little thing
like that, and long before the day
was out every thing was nicely
“adjusted” with just the proper
“tip,” all that is needed to make
present-day hats becoming, and
femininity, great and small, was
prostrate before Dame Fashion,
regardless of previous predilec
tiod or condition. The day was
accounted a brilliant success.
Messrs. Flood and Wimberly
were complimented as usual on
their artistic decorative designs,
appropriate always to the season.
Mr. B. W. McGormick, whose
courtesy and readiness to serve
have won patrons in his depart
ment, had taken special pride in
the beautiful dress goods he so
deftly handles and the display was
nevet more elaborate and elegant.
There may be great days ahead;
but we are sure we have passed
one of the greatest in our history
in the line indicated.
Market Announcement.

be moved into our new market on
