dSlYT. LOUIS, September 16.-l
NZs9There seems to be vigor and
sTRss new life in the very air we
ySY breathe, and every one ap-
pears to feel the reviying effect of
the return of the old festivities.
Here are to be seen styles the most
varied, combinations the most con-
Trajectory, while the keynote to
the world of fashion now appears
to be the dresses of the early days
of the directoric period. Nor is
the dress coat of formality forgot
ten, for the dudes crowd the aisles
in their ultra extravagant suits,
and one has not the moral courage
to raise an objection.
Every voice lends its tribute of
praise to the excellent display
given by Browning, King & Co.,
clothiers. A model of the suspen-
sion bridge crosses the entire
length of the space devoted to the
display of their beautiful goods.
On the bridge are constantly pass
ing trains of cars, vehicles and Pc
destrians. The back ground rep
resents the City of New York and
the statue of Liberty Enlighten-
ing the World" One of its pref
test features is the representation
of the water, carrying with 1t al
most the conviction of reality. The
illusion is heightened by the
stretches of blue sky and white
winged ships, which seem to sail
far away on their distant voyage
with all their white sails trim
med for home" The practical
part of this exhibit has not been
forgotten, for here are to be seen
samples of the clothing kept by
this reliable firm, which for years
has been such a credit to St.
Louis with much substantial bene-
| fits to themselves.
A little dream of a place, a sort
of Arcadia, is to be seen in the in
genious display presented by the
Shrewsbury Park Co., the model
of the new park, seven miles from
the city, on the Frisco and Missouri
Pacific Railroad. The enclosure is
laid off in grass plats with streets
outlined in red gravel. Imagine, in
the midst of this, fanciful cottages,
artificial lakes bordered with ferns
and trains of cars running and you
have a faint conception of the rest
full attractiyeness of the spot. An
office for the sale of lots occupies
one corner where, under a matched
pavilion hung with fancy colored
lights, gentlemen stand ready to
dispose of any number of pretty
residence sites.
Tony Faust is again on duty in
the basement. The very sound OF
his name is a pleasing appetizer.
His excellent taste as a caterer,
where everything served reaches
the highest standard of excellence,
has made his fame phenomenal.
No place in the building is more
thronged than this, where friend
can meet friend in pleasant con.
verse, and where not a sound is
uttered to displease the most fas.
tidious. If New York has hel
Delmonico, St. Louis has Tony
Faust. Every moment of his time
is now occupied in the construc.
ton of his new building, which
promises to out-shlne those of his
Eastern rivals. He deserves the
success which has brought him
fame and money.
/ Mermod. Jaccard & Co. display
each evening $3.50 600 worth of dia.
monds. A policeman stands con.
slant guard over the show case.
while a burglar alarm underneath
the counter can be sprung at any
moment, calling in the aid Of the
l entire police force on duty in the
building. A needless precaution
as it would take a bold thief to at
tempt to ply his vocation under
such conditions. The only corl
l tree ever brought to this country
l stands in the vestlbule. 1t is full
size and brought from Spain.
