A BEAUTIFUL OPENING
The Young Quinlan New Store Shows
the Artistry Of the Trade.

So beautiful display Of goods amid
SO beautiful surroundings was never
shown in the west as was displayed at
the Young Quinlan opening today. The
display began at the very entrance.
The great window at the right was dec
Grated only, with iridescent, gauzy but
the few coats and costumes. A Cal,
lot gown Of French Irish lace beautiful
as only that lace can be, and graceful
as only "a Callot gown done in
Empire fashion can be, stood in
the :. center, the heavy pattern
standing st;n out like carving, the lines
becomingness which only Callot can
give. Beside it was a Princess gown
IN lace and taffeta from Paquin, looking !
as It 1T had grown together, and real |

pattern and champagne color, the petals
and free as they did not until the
French taught. the Irish how to put
dash into dolicacy. The window at
the loft held beauties of like quality,
all bearing the unmistakable stamp Of
the best Partisan designers.
The store itself is a model of taste
and utility. The idea that it is shop
has never been forgotten, while color
ing and magnifcence have at the same
time had full play. At each entrance
! one gets q sweep of view from front
to back of the entire store, the green
walls and carpet blending harlnoniously
together; toned, by paneled ceiling
that suggests cream with a hint of
green in it, and set off by a soft franz
ing of deep mahogany, seemingly mel
] lowed by age. Great vases Of ferns and
Easter lilies surmounted the tops of
the red. brown of mahogany, southern
smilax trailed down over it, and from
in which huge Stalks Of lilies were
caught. =.
At the. back Of the room on low
mahogany table an immense horseshoe
of pink and white roses leaned against
q green pillar, and in the center were
the initials Of Mr.. Young and Miss
Qulnlan set in a monogram with tiny
rosebuds. It was gift of the en-
Eployees. = ...s -. go ~ =.
