PHILADELPHIA. Saturday. Dec. /. 1893.
1t was a quiet revolution
that went on during the Au-
tumn. You weren't disturbed,
but big departments moved
up none down-or skipped
about. Stairs and elevators
came into being. Radical
things were done. But your
nerves were not racked nor
your comfort limited.
Our Pegasi have been
champing the bit in frothing
anxiety to be away with the
winged story Of what the store
revolution is and how it came
about.
Wait bit. The last stroke
will soon be done, and then the
advertising man may up and
at it.
But we discount a few
words. We look toward the
shutdown of the year. The
golden rays of coming Christ
mas are glittering. The Holt
day things are restless for
notice.
At the east end Of the sec
ond gallery is a new art room.

show you a gathering of bric-a-

comparing, 'twould be odious
from us.
The special point is that
each piece is shown in cabinet
or on table much as you would
have it at home. You see art
things in perspectve-q quite
naturally. This choice piece of

Stop by this cabinet-you'll

The little towns we pass look like houses
made Of building blocks, with clfln castles on
thosummits Of miniature mountains. They arc
very picturesque too much so-and
add much 10 the unreality and beauty Of the
landscape. They seem so quiet in appearance,
that il ia hard to believe that tho time worn
walls contain the group OF beggaIB, the tink-
ling bells Of the donkeys, and the noise Of the
brightly dressed throng
There can be no country in the world
which offers such panorama Of natural in
terest as Spain. 1t is as shifting in color as
a kaleidoscope. Here are aocks Of goats
coming down the mountain paths to water at
the clear valley streams. The steep roads
arc covered with hurros and gayly dressed
drivers, and along the roads stand the crosses
raised to show that some one was slain there
by the wayside. Tho mortality must have
been great, judging by the number one sees
everywhere. Parker Bodash in Demo
