da!ians is q we'll earned compliment 10 the
proprietor and his able as istants for the
remarkable coed taste and ripe indignant
which the, have displayed in arranging
the diversified stock, which consists of An
almost endless variety of such goods which
go far toward making ones home beauti-

tains an exhibit Of some II the choicest

the city, including etchings, bic a-brsc,
albums, manicure and toilet sets, vases
and choice illustrated books. In this win
dow is q fine Satsuma vase of most artistic
design, which ATTRACTS the admiration OF
all visitors. While the exhibit in the
window is exceedingly handsome and
carefully arranged it does no, give anyone
more than faint idea of the display viii, h
is To be seen in The interior.

grand showcases of recent patterns, with
plate cl.ss ten feet in length, attract the
eye, while their contents, which comprise

card baskets, japanese ware, manicure
sets, photograph holders of choice design,
loxydlzed silver toilet sets and delicate

The di<alay Of pastrls, etchings and

plete ever shown in 'da!is and perhaps
will excel those to be seen in any similar
est Adjustment in Missouri. Some of the

in particular attracts attention at once. IL

l"Moonsise on the Passsic," which was
etched from the original painting and le-

ton as does beautiful moonlight scene
on the coast, shaving the swirl If the in-

also attract much attention. Rogers busts
Of those and other composers, in marble
:, are also displ .yed and win admiration.
