A Chance for the Ladies' to see Something
Worth LookinSat.
A REGISTER reporter, while ambling
down Main street yesterday afternoon
and admiripg the sweetly dressed maid.
ems, enjoying the warm sunshine and
altogether feeling in a very salubrious
frame OF mind, was hailed at Messrs.
q. Mendel, Il Co.'s and invited in to
look at what was termed "a beauty"
Well, now, il there is anything In the
world that touches the soft side of
newspaper mans tender hear, it is some
thing pretty. SO our hero "tumbled"
at once, and stepping on the elevator
and taking an easy chair was lifted COM
fortably to the fourth story Of their i'm
mense building and escorted into the
upholstering department We are
not OF an excitable temper
ament, We never 60 off into costa
slts over anything and we disclaim all
the characteristics OF "gusher," but
there is Just no use talking about 1t,
they have a parlor suit there that trots
of with the cheese. It's the prettiest
thing you ever saw and il our hopeless
" insolvent exchequer could be induced
to abandon its normal condition OF de.
generate worthessness for the space OF
a single moment, we'd catch the flood
tide OF opportunity, buy the suit, and
have the most gorgeously furnished
sanctum that ever hoated through the
dizzy brain OF the most visionary and
poetic reporter that ever breathed the
breath OF life. It's immense! and liter.
ally speaking the biggest thing on
wheels.
The frames are made OF solid ebony,
deliberately carved but entirely without
gilt tracings, which is considered the
highest art. Seven pieces compose the
suit and they are all covered with very
elegant and costly quality OF 'hnded
satin damask in various colors, cont: asst
ing and blending beautifully together TO
produce an effect that is exquisite and
charming. The large sofa aud two side
chairs are made in the same colors,
shaded olive and peacock blue. and
trimmed with olive silk plush and bands
t. match. The small Japanese divan
or tete-d-tste is little darling in shaded
bronze and sky blue with olive plush
trimmings and embroidered bands 10
match. The Rockawsy corner chair,
the latest innovation and 4 model OF
beauty and art, is covered in shaded
Vandyke with old gold plush trimmings
and CT oss bands. The window chair 10 in
shaded cream and bronze, Ponsodu plush
trimmings and embroidered bands.
The prettiest thing in the lot, the one
that displays the mort artistic design
and workmanship, is the reception
chair; all the colors on the rest Of the
suit are combined in this, it is elabor.
ately and beautifully enbroidered-a
large stork in different colors "a natural
as can be. being the most noticeable fea-
ture-and is tastefully trimmed with
old gold satin putting and brgh. colored
bands The upholstery is par excel.
lence itself, and is as soft as feather
pillow. The entire suit was manufac.
tured by these gentlemen, and it Ger.
tainly is high compliment TO the firm,
and convincing evidence OF their COM
plete facilities for doing fine work.
Everybody should avail themselves
OF the opportunity and get sight OF it,
for such things are rarely seen in
Wheeling. II will be on exhibition TO-
day.
