FAIR WEEK AT THE D. M. READ
CO.'S
ATTRACTS THOUSANDS,

This week is Fair Week" at the
Bridgeport, and thousands have been
to see the novel and delightful Japan
eSe room which has been arranged on
the fourth floor of the furniture de.
partment. An entire big department
on this floor has been changed for the
time into most oriental looking gar
den, with kiosk in the center, and
lighted by number of brilliant Japan
csc lanterns. From behind the screen,
Bentley'S orchestra dfSpenSes apprO-
pirate music, and each afternoon the
Corinthian quartet gives choice pro-
gram of selections. The afternoons in
the Japanese room take on the appear
ance of social session. The room is
amply supplied with luxurious chains
and tables, and tea is served by "Jap-
aneSe" maidens, dressed in q pictur-
esque kimona. 1t is indeed pleasant
diversion, after shopping down town,
to 20 to this room, and have q quiet
chat with friends while enjoying the
music and a cup:of tea. In honor of
"Fair Week" which has been observed
Read store is decorated with palms,
smilaX and crimson ramblerS. Besides
the japanese room, there are two other
attractions, model kitchen and q
potter'S wheel. The kitchen embodies
all the most up-to-date Improvements
In this line and is q pleasure to look
at. Throughout the day, demOnstra-
tiOnS in some branch of cookery are
given, the kitchen being in charge Of
a graduate of Mrs S. r. Rorer's cook
ing school. A gas range. q McDougall
kitchen cabinet, and white tiled walls
make the kitchen q model of cleanli-
ness and convenience. and it proves q
great attraction to visitors at the
store. The potter's wheel, in charge
OF Prof Dugan, an expert in his work,
is situated In the basement near the
toy department.. There is scarcely q
person who has not heard of the pot
ter'S wheel, but there are few who have
had the pleasure of seeing this mystic
rious instrument in operation. Under
the potter's hands, with the aid of
this wheel, a shapeless lump of clay
seems to spring up into vase, in q
manner little short OF wonderful. Prof
Dugan's work excites the daily ad-
miration of large crowds of spectators.
The little souvenir which they give
with a 81 purchase is one of the fea-
lures. The D. M. Read Co. have q

All that New York woman seems
TO care for nowadays" said Archibald
Cox today. lis society and money. So
clal position and lucre to indulge in ex-
travagance appears to be her sole crav-
ing
Dr. Cox was quoted in an evening pa
per as saying:
When | discovered that a ruby ring
which my wife brought back from Gu
pa mad belonged to the first Mrs.
Francis Burton Harrison. and she told
me to my face she no longer loved me.
And then said she could be the wife of
Mr.. Harrison and have wealth and So
cial position if she could only be free of
me. l decided, for our child's sake, to
let her get divorce
Il looked eighteen years ahead when
the child would begin to ask questions
about his parents, and l decided l
would rather have him think his father
Sinful, not his mother"
A friend of Mrs Cox is quoted as
saying:
why shouldn't she marry Francis
Burton Harrison for social position and
wealth. IL means that when Mrs. Cox
becomes Mrs. Harrison she will be able
to spend 100000 to $4,000 a year.
Wouldn't any girl give up an ordinary
doctor husband for that?"
The records of the supreme court
show that Mabel Louise Cox was
granted an interlocutory decree of d.
vorce by Justice Bischoff on Sept 20.
The final decree, which was signed by
Justice Fitzgerald last week, makes it
lawful for Mrs. Cox to wed again, While
it forbids Mr. Cox to enter into another
marriage during the lifetime of the
complainant. The papers in the case
We're sealed by the courts orders.
MIR. Harrison is the son of Frances
Burton Harrison, the novelist. He is a
lawyer and president of the Real
ty company He is member of con-
gress from the Sixteenth district in this
city. He served during the Spanish
American war as captain of a cavalry
company
His first wife was Mary Croker and,

dent at Long Island City on Nov. %,
