MEGARY STORES
FALL OPENING

Revelations Of beauty and utility in
household furnishings were made when
the fam opening of the big furniture store
of the NJ Megary and Son Company.
at Sixth and Tatnall streets be-
gan this morning. So striking and diver
sifed is the splendid autumn showing OF
the store that the three days during which
the opening will continue will hardly ap.
pease the curiosity OF the feminine shop
per. whose attention and admiration is
challenged at every stride.
Skillful decorators have cunningly re
fected the invigorating season Of JACK
Frost throughout the building and in the
large display windows. Evergreens, corn
stocks. grapes and autumn leaves mellow
ing into the diversified colors Of fan have
been twined about ioists and mouldings
and formed into novel backgrounds for
the window displays. The thoroughness in-
deed. with which these decorations have
been contrived is but a reflection Of the
thoroughness with which everything else
is done in the Megary store and the
handsome display Of decorations for this
opening is not so unusual at Megary's
that il needs lengthy comment.
The store tonight, tomorrow and on
Saturday night will be open until 10 o'clock
SO that its patrons may avail themselves
Of the opportunity 10 see its extraordinary
display. During the three days Professor
Alberts Orchestra. under the direction Of
Samuel Oglesby. will play from S o'clock
IN the morning until 10 o'clock at night.
Exclusiveness has become tradition Of
the Megary establishment; exclusveness
in quality and exclusiveness in prices
within the range Of the slimest pocket
book. AS to quantity. the size of the Me-
gary building attests. on the first floor
may be seen an admirable array OF din
ing room chairs. parlor furnishings, wick
er work, chiffoniers, mirrors and innumer
able other pieces within the knowledge OF
the veteran housewife.
on the seni-noor at the approach to the

Throwing Baseballs at Auto Prevented
Nervous Man From Buying.
There is one automobile salesman
who is going about with black feelings
toward children. particularly those who
live in the upper part Of Harlem. says
the New York Sun. The reason OF
his animosity is this:
He had a chance to make a sale Of
a Gar and had an appointment with
his customer for the early part Of tho
day TO try out the car. Something de.
laved them. and when they got out OF
the lower part of the town tho schools
were letting out
Il had told the chauffeur 10 20 along
slowly. because I knew the man was a
little timid and I thought he would
get around the point where we woull
get his confidence. When we got up
around where the schools were dismiss
ing for the recesses those fendish chill
dren seemed TO take a particular &c.
light in tossing baseballs over the car
as close as they could come TO Tho
customer and myself where we sat in
the tonneau.
I'VE were kept busy lodging the
balls. About a quart measure Of them
fell into the tonneau and those took
pleasure in keeping.
''All this got on the mans nerves.
said the salesman, "and finally after
a most alarming fusillade he told mo
10 have the machine stepped. He GOT
out and said If I have 10 20 through
a thing like that don'r care IL never
own a car in New York
And despite all could do he insist.
ed on taking a street car back down
town. That killed my sale In good
STYLE"

will surpass in elegance and beauty the
sumptuous quarters of the luxurious

No less than four rooms have been re-

show pieces of the town. Today its
walls glare with a whiteness that sug-

artists have got in their work the cham
Der will present a riot of design and
color that will cause ii TO look like a

The throne will be at the north

ranged in a semicircle on an elevated
platform, as a courtroom. In the amphi-
theater in front will be placed q large
table for h use of witnesses, In the
center of which will be two revolving

about without the necessity of throwing
