Charming Millinery. Throngs of critical folks enjoyed the initial display of the Spring Hats and Bonnets that our reorganized Trimmed Millinery force put forth last week. Speaking of the exhibition, the Eagle said: Dainty. Artistic, Stylish aro the distinguishing characteristics of the display of Spring Hats and Bonnots now to be seen in the millinery department of Abraham Straus The exhibition as a whole is an exceptionally fine one. The Times said: Such an array of lightness and brightness in the way of pretty head gear Is seldom seen.

The Herald said: Invitations to a "private view" of their exquisite millinery, which Abraham Straus issue each Spring aro as eagerly awaited and watched for as a bidding to a great ball. The fortunate woman who gets one knows that the names of Europe's greatest chapeau makors aro written inside tho hats and bonnots which await her ontertainment, and no less plainly is tho mark of their latest inspirations written on tho outside. Such was tho character of their latest reception to present Easter styles. And the display grows apace. Ocean greyhounds bring additions almost daily from London and Paris and fresh and beautiful creations go every day from our own workrooms to the show parlor There's a continual feast of newness and exclusiveness to delight millinery lovers.
