StroHs Through the Store.

The Suit Room has been crowded almost to it's limit this season and we thought we could give it a rest during the holidays. Not so our buyer-he comes forward with list of Christmas offerings which we cannot over look: rich, warm furs which would make any pair of bright eyes in Christendom spark le with pleasure for evening wear made from silks, laces and fine linen; soft, comfortable lounging robes and klmonos TOT the boudoir; cute little fur sets for children yes, the Suit Room can be counted in with our holiday department. Along the main aisle, West entrance, there's a wealth of gift suggestions for even the casual passer-by. You could hardly help noticing the splendid showing of belts, bags and leather goods of all kinds. Then there's the jewelry and stationery and, If you keep along to the extreme end of the aisle, a display of art needlework unsur- passed in New Haven. We've always had reputation for carrying the best to be had in ! this line and our stock this season IS ahead of anything we've ever shown.
 Down in the front of the big basement | just about the center, is department that's attracting throngs of people these days, ! people who are looking for warm, comfort able bed coverings for the long, cold nights l that are upon us. and who know good thing l when they see it. You would hardly believe I us were we to tell you how many of the l famous Howe Sanitary Blankets we have sold l this season, but it runs into the thousands and l we've had hard work to keep up with the de- l rnand Then there are the comfortables, all that ! their name implies, filled with white fleecy N of +ha a and covered with silkaine or satin Tn beautl- | ful patterns Many family on whom the \ hand of winter has fallen heavily, will think ! with gratitude of the thoughtful donor \ whose practical gift was selected in this de- partment.
 The prosaic second floor, where all the \ year round we look at samples and sell l shoes, has blossomed forth into yerta6le paradise of toys for the little folks It is the onlv available space in the store large enough to aecomodate the immense stocks
 which have been coming in for weeks past. From the wonder shops of far away Ger
 many come most of the mechanical toys, both
 amusing and instructive, which interest
 young and old. It's the home of Kris Kring- I ie. and the German mind, inbued with the
 folk lore of the Fatherland, concelves ideas Il for children's entertainment that would never d suggest themselves to the rushing, hurried
 worker of the New World. From France
 corne the big. beautiful dollies that are eager slv adopted by little American mothers. It's sl loo long list to describe-the books magic l lanterns, drums, rocking-horses, desks, cook
 inp ranges, games, etc., etc., but there's
 not one among the lot that will not bring happiness to some little heart.
 
 The shoe mans lines have fallen in pleas
 ant nIaces this season, for he's right in the
 way wa of the toy sections and must be seen. N And he is offering some good things, too, in
 the way of comfort giving slippers for men
 and women; leggins, wool soes, etc. A~.:ou~, Mons Fn
