The Boulevard. which is the regulation
pilgrimage of all strangers visiting Paris.
has just been. 1t may well be said.
adorned with a wonderful commercial pal
ace. the Palace of the "Menagere." built by
the eminent architect, Mr.. Laville.
Several years ago an architectural style
was born-that of the New Galleries" 1t
is admirably suited to the requirements of
these gigantic stores, which will ever meet
with the greatest favor among the public.
This style, which will henceforth have it's
masterpiece in the Palace of the "Mena-
gere," situated on Boulevard Bonne-Nou-
velle, found its origin in the practical spirit
of powerful company. the Society of the
New Galleries, with a capital of thirty mil
lions of francs. which owns a model store
in all the large French towns and which Is
closely bound to all the most important
manufactures in the commercial world.
The Society of the New Galleries only
had to fiatter itself of the interior manage
ment of its provincial establishments and
all Its efforts had hitherto tended to per-
fecting the same until the time came when
even the most exacting artists came to ad-
mire this elegant and practical building.
The site of the former 'Menagere' was
the one which, in the very heart of Paris,
offered the widest scope to the ingenious
style of the New Galleries" and for their
establishing commercial installation,
unique In the world, both as regards its
colossal size and its decorative splendor.
Inc hopes OF the society OF tne new ddi-
leries were more than fulfilled. The in
terror of the Palace of the "Menagere' Is
simply a marvel. and the moment you have
entered 1t you are seized with an admfra-
ton which grows stronger at each step.
The "Menagere'' has been. for the early
visitors to the Paris exposition. one Of the
Partisan attractions which they are bound
never to forget. If every casual visitor is
charmed. 1t may well be added that its
clients are ravished. Never was such a
large variety of goods offered to the pub
lies choice. The "Menagere'' is not only
the finest store in Paris: 1t is also the most
universal. Realizing every desire, 1t offers
US. at most reasonable prices, everything
that can prove interesting or useful to US,
everything that concerns dress. both for
ladies and gentlemen and the maintenance
or decoration of home
There you must go to secure lasting SOU
venirs of the Paris universal exposition and
to purchase either useful articles or art
goods; 1t sufflces to wish for something to
feel sure that by applying to the Men
agere" almost any dream can be realized
Those who will not be fortunate enough
to go and admire the marvels of the expo
sition can also get souvenirs of them. They
need only write to the "Menagere,' 90
Boulevard Bonne-Nouvelle, Paris. to at
once receive gratuitously a beautiful illus
trated catalogue. which they can as a
guide in their purchases.
