MILLINE8Y OPENINGS. -The millin- ery displays made by our merchants at their epilog openings this year are particularly line, though much less gorgeous than last year. The styles, colors and trimmings are all much quieter and wore subdued than were those of last year. Some of the new trimmings are unique, and the ribbone are very pretty, the colors, though quiet, being beautifully blended. .All the openings were made on Thursday and Saturday haat, that of Hodgen Bros. being in charge of Mist; Fee, a young lady of much grace of manner and exceedingly fine taste, as her de- partment will show., Miss McDonald. so well-known here, still presides over this attractive department at Beesley & Co's, Miss Welsh, evidently a thoroughly competent and tasty mil- liner, still has charge of the depart- ment at Plumateel & Gibbings'. fe t re's 11 •.) .And there are different sorts of economy. The economy that "sii,ves at the spigot and wastes at the bung" is no economy at all. The truest economy is to buy the best your pocketbook will afford at the lowest price for which it can be sold. We buy the best of everything. We sell on such a close margin of profit that our custo- mers feel confident that bottom has been struck. All's ready for the spring business now; we've got a store full of bright, new -merchandise for you to look at.
