Fabrics and trimmings of almost incredible richness and beauty are combined with rare
taste in gowns of exquisite loveliness; soft clinging weaves and silks of radiant luster;
broadcloth of velvety finish in soft, delicate eveningishades; rich midnight black or ivory
white. Theew Pompadour effect in broadcloth velvet and silk is employed with telling
effect in the construction of many of these superb garments. Laces wrought by skillful
fingers; genuine hand-work that requires wonderful patience and skill in making. All
these are used to the best advantage to produce these. gems of the dressmaker's art.' 1 In
the windows and m the suit salons on the second floor are marshaled an array of cos
tumes, wrapsjMtd .femtji&e;reajV matehleaf jin .thciir majestic beauty. Street costumes, call

The deft fingers of the most clever mil
linery artists in the world have fashioned
the radiantly beautiful and unique con
ceits in headgear that will be on display.
There is a wide range of choice in these,
from the simple, effective styles of quiet
richness to the most elaborately trimmed
affairs, that are triumphs of skill in the
harmonizing of colors and trimmings. In
addition to the splendid creations that
were originated by these wizards of per
fect taste and inventive genius, we display
dozens of graceful, clever styles conceived
and produced by our own talented millin
ery workers. Modest priced to be sure,
but to some tastes they are no whit be
hind the aristocratic models imported
from across the water. We metnion
briefly a few styles here:
A Gainsborough in Florentine green and
Alice blue, trimmed with ribbon from Lucie
Deveze.
Prune' colored toque trimmed with Japanese bands,
velvet ribbon and aigrettes from Mangin Maurice.
Large hat of royal purple velvet faced with lavender
silk, trimmed with purple bird of paradise feathers from Carlier
A gun metal gray faced with Copenhagen blue and trimmed with
blue heron, feathers from Alphonsine.
From Our Own Work-Room
A handsome black hat of silk Paon velvet faced with bierle high
jcrowa.and. drooping back, trimmed with ostrich plumes.
Toque of black velvet with drooping brim, low crown, trimmed
with braided band of old rose ribbon and flowers in the Autumn
shades. .
In addition to these described, we show black hats in the Directoire shape, trimmed whh a cockade of
white ostrich plumes; hats of Gendarme blue; numberless others that lack of space forbids mention of.
Hats from leading milliners of Paris: Marie Crozet, Georgette, Suzanne Calbot, Vallett, Pouyanne and '
Miniggros. We also show hats from the very best importers of New York city, including Llchten- i
stein, Bendel, Malcolm and Hartwig. We also call your special attention to the lovely but lnexpen '
sive hats designed by our own extremely clever milliners, offering all in all a scope in price and style ;
so wide that all may choose best here.

Miss Bernard's Trip to Europe

Pacific Coast and realizing the necessity of enlarging the scope and assortment of gar
ments carried, we sent to Europe our' Miss Bernard, who has been for ten years in charge
of our Suit Department, and is i recognized expert in New York as well as Portland. Miss
Bernard sailed June 13 on the' Hamburg-Ame rican palatial steamship Kaiserin Auguste Vic
toria, arriving in London June j21. She sought diligently among the fashion centers of
Ji!nrone. aecurinar evervthin? newest and best in smart attire. The cities she visited were

the Hamburg-American: commodious' steamship Deutschland. After remaining in New York
for several weeks and purchasing largely from the best garment manufacturers in the
United- States- she - returned -to-PortlandThis j Jtthi J irstirae.jQiat a Portland
store has found it necessary, to send a garment-buyer to Europe, but " the ' DLDS,
WORTMAN & KING store, bending every effort to secure the best that skill can produce

women's attire should be placed before their customers. These goods will have their first
