Yesterday occurred an event in mercan-

more thsn the passing notice which might
rightfUlly, be accorded to the enterprise
OF mere onm mercial activities. 1t was an
event which had for its chief purpose
the presentation of high art as applied
to the utilities. While 1t involved an exhi-
bit on of costly wares from the markets
of Europe, America and Japan in all that
range of utensils which supplies domes-
tic requirements, the essential point of
it all was the exposition Of the art idea in
applied utilities. In all OF the depart
m ents Of the house the art idea was en-
phatically pronounced, and every line of
goods upon exhibition had az it's most
pronounced characteristic the idea of
beauty. The entire Interior Of the vast
establishment was protusely embellishsd
with potted and cut flowers. and the
event was rendered delightful by the
p essence If superb orchestra. 1t goes
without saying that the event was at
tended by the elite OF society of Los An.
geles and all surrounding towns. From
