FAIR WEEK AT THE D. N. READ

ATTRACTS THOUSANDS.

ATTRACTS THOUSANDS.
This week is "Fair Week" at the
store of the D. M. Read company,
Bridgeport, and thousands have been
to see the novel and delightful Japan
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 a number of brilliant Japan
csc lanterns. From behind the screen,
Bentley's orchestra dispenses appro-
pirate music, and each afternoon the
Corinthfan quartet gives q 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 chairs
anese" matdens, dressed in pictur-
esque kimona. 1t is indeed a pleasant
diversion, after shopping down town,

chat with friends while enjoying the
music and cupxOf tea. In honor of
"Fair Week, )" which has been observed
annually for over II years, the D. NJ.
Read store is decorated with palms,
smilaX and crimson ramblerS. Besides
the japanese room, there are two other
attractions, model kitchen and q
potterS 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-
lions in some branch of cookery are
given, the kitchen being in charge of
graduate of Mrs S. T. Rorer's cook
ing school. A gas range. McDougall
kitchen cabinet, and white tiled walls
make the kitchen 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

had the pleasure of seeing this mystic
