 AND DISPLAY WAS SUPERB. METROPOLITAN APPEARANCE

Caheen Bros. had their annual fall opening yesterday and surpassed them selves in the elaborate and beautiful dis play. Their handsome store Oh Second avenue presented a most metropolitan appearance and the large shop windows were perfect reproductions of those seen in the shopping centres of Gotham. Displayed here were the smartest coats, the modish gowns and ultra syles in mil linery. The long coats for evening wear were the most stunning things seen while among the imported gowns was one of white lace. inset with black the smartest touch being given in the tints of burnt orange applied on the gown and forming the hat. An afternoon gown after a French model was of the burnt onion shade the hat matching the gown. The burnt orange tints were effectively com bined with the terra cotta, and in con trast to the delicate coats and dressy were the rich autumn shades to be seen all winter on the streets. In the dress goods department the mod ish woman found all the pretty materials she has been reading of in Vogue, and from the jetted things to the lace and silk fabrics she could shop satisfactorily. Our stock is as complete and elegant as you would find at Altman's, or Arnold & Constable's," said MT. F. Caheen, the senior member of the firm. Every de- pertinent has had a most careful buyer and we are showing the exclusive things that you would see only In the New York shops. We are paying special attention to our millinery and our styles are direct from the swellest importers "As far as our dress goods department, waists and ready-made suits Is concerned, I will say that as long. as I have been in business, we have never made a hand somer display"
