ALICE IN WONDERLAND BEAT
FairyIand on stnge No Match for
Fantastic Realm In Bran
defs' store

Alice in Wonderland saw no prettier
sight than the one to be seen Just now
on the second floor of the new Brandeis
store. The artist and decorator have We'd
with each other in making this floor
veritable vision of dreamland. The soft
color scheme, thousands of subdued in
candescent lights, apple and peach bios
SONS deftly placed here and there lilies
waving in their pure white majesty, luxu-
rious carpets that yield to the touch of
foot, the soft strains Of an orchestra and
other such effects miDgle in making a
scene that would move the poetic muse
and hold the spectator entTanced.
This new stores second floor Is unques-
tionably the finest thing of It's kind ever
seen in Omaha and would compare with
any in the United States, excepting posi-
bly, New York City. The floor has natural
light from all sides and to lend tone to
that light 1900 incandescent lights have
been arranged fantastically on the col
umns with white background for each
cluster Of lights. A court A37 feet long
offers vista of pleasing perspective. At
the west end of this court has been placed
for the opening two figures representing
heralds with trumpets. The general color
scheme is purple and white. the Easter
colors. The first floor has been decorated
to harfhonize with the second floor. Palms
and natural Boston ferns add touch of
freshness to the scene.
The Appointments of the second floor are
OF the highest order. In the place Of the
conventional display rack dust-proof cab
inets are used for the expensive hats and
garments, enabling visitors to view these
articles through glass and at the same
time protect the goods from dust and han
ding. A large designing room for hats is
on the second floor. This department will
accommodate $50 women. The new floor is
finished in mahogany wood and the stock
carried on this floor is women's ready-to-
wear garments and millinery department.
Many Of the new designs shown In hats
and garments are fresh importations from
Paris, Berlin and Vienna, with some Eng
lish hats. The gowns run as high IN price
as 81 900 EACH while there are hats all the
way from modest price up to swollen
fortune each.
The opening will continue through the
week An orchestra is in attendance and
souvenirs are being given. The porte
cocherf" entrance on Douglas street is
ready for use. Those who attend in car
riages have easy access to the second floor
from this entrance. The newly opened floor
viii be open this evening.
