After all what is Of account
to you in this column is the
news Of arriving merchandise.
That we mean to give you with
as little work for the mind in
understanding as for the eye
in reading and we think it full
compensation for the homeli-
ness of language with which
our gatherings out of the world
at home and abroad are set
forth that the news of the store
is written %inpartially with very
little regard to profits and loss
es. The main advantage, to
us as well as to you, is in the
things themselves and in your
understanding them. Let the
world of advertisers, then, go
on praising their own particular
wares. Enough for us to print
the news as it comes to pass.
What if by and by you should
out you can Judge of the
things somewhat by reading?

What is it for that we put in
easiest types the news of the
store to day?
We have heard a wise mer-
chant say that one Of the chief
incentives to advertising is the
glory of seeing ones name and
fluctuations in conspicuous
print. 1t may be with some;
but we look for theirname in big
black letters made blacker still
witha setting ofbroad white spa
ces. For ourpart we choose the
smallest of propefa types for
the name at the end, and for
title the usual style OF the pa
per as to headings. These
give a SORT Of state or official
sanction to what we have to
say; but they are not con
spicuouS, The types get SO
used to printing those formal
headings and signatures they
would almost go on printing
them if the printer should fall
asleep just. as you get SO
used to seeing them that you
take them for granted, skip
them, don't see them atall.
it is our business to keep
you going in all matters of
dress and furnishing, whether
of the person or house. You
act together somewhat, if you
do not consult together, in all
these matters; and how are
you going to act together I'M
less you have something to go
by? We furnish that some
thing to 90 by,
It's ofthe store It's
the things to be got. It'sthcfash
ion-for what is fashion for you
if it isn't the drift of what peo-
pie are doing around you?
That isn't to be got out of pa
pers or pictures, not the fash
ion for you-they are for peo-
pie who want to be first, to
lead, not to follow, perhaps not
to be followed. The fashion
for nine out of ten, ninety4nine
in a hundred, for almost all,
for all but a few so few we
hardly dare speak of them lest
we seem almost to trespass on
that personal immunity which
people have a right to expect
in a civilized country-which
the newspapers are forgetting
nowadays the fashions for
all but almost none are coming
together with the stuffs. There
is no such thing as keeping the
fashions and stufs apart. The
fashions are formed, they grow,
they gather strength and con.
troll from the stuffs. You read
andsce, are pleasedand choose;
and SO the fashions settle and
FIX themselves. Unconsciously
YOU are the makers of local
fashions and local fashion is
only a phrase for what you pick
out Of the stuffs the world has
. set before you.
