Half dozeno of st. PauPs largest and
handsomest patrolrnen, half dozen of
the city's most lynx-like detectives, to-
gether with Sergeant Pothen and Lieut..
Sexton, were called last night to the |
corner of Seventh and Robert streets.
The street cars had been stopped and a |
great pane of plate glass in the front |
of the Plymouth clothing store had
been crushed in by an angry, excited |
crowd. All of Officer Perro's Partisan !
gallantry and the sturdy manhood of his
fellows were required to comfort and !
Succor the multitude of anxious and |
frightened women. For there was a !
grand opening at the Plymouth, 5000 |
dewy waXen roses were being given |
away, dozen bargain counters were
few rods distant, yet not a woman
could get in the store. This was not |
because the manager Of the Plymouth
was not keeping open house for all its
friends, but because $4,000 persons, in
| Guiding at least 10000 big sleeves, can
! not be crowded into a single store
| building, however extensive 1t is for
! ordinary purposes. The royal Bengal
tiger, perched above the open central
court, Stroked his whiskers and emit
ted bran-stuffed purr, when at 8 p.
M, twenty-siX musicians, under Direct

march which began an elaborate artis

scented roses was placed in position; a

and the first young lady was given a
| sweet white rose and an opportunity
to ask her companion "if she ever"
The companion ''never did, and both
wanted to know the shortest route to
"the new woman's department" Man
ager H. c. Schabacker, of that depart
ment, assured the ladies, however, that
he was not catering expressly to whis-
kerless men, Who had grown homely
because they were denied their politi-
cal rights. His was the new depart
ment for women's garments, and he
had the most marvellous Kaleidoscope
novelties for that numerous and de-
+ lightful person who is young in years
and old in the traditional graces of her
sex.
Hundreds of these persons held their
roses in one hand and paved over with
the other, in a spirit of gentle visit

silk velvet inlaid with satin applique
effects, in silk and satin trimmed
with lace and chiffon. Full circular
capes were there lined with Dresden
silks and edged with the same pinked.
The circulars are extremely conven-
lent for the maiden. $50 easy to throw
on or off," but for direct approacha-
bleness they will never satisfy the
yearning youth as will the Old-fash
ioned jacket or coat. These were on
all sides. Short were they with rip
pie and coat backs, in novel materials,
such as Bedford cords of tan, black
and various colors. They bore full
bishop sleeves. with cuffs. Even more
satisfactory to the masculine eye was
the hypnotic display of shirt waists
1.-The newest things in color and style,
including the Floretta waist adjuster
and skirt supporter" What greater
boon to romance and affection than a
perfect waist adjuster! With her

- Leggings are provided which will crafty the

department for women that the Plymouth
held last night the first clothing opening o.
the season. That, and to show its extraordi

But the lower floor, though filed with al
a man might like, contains no skirts for new
men nor weird novelties in male attire
Therefore it was inspected last night by com
