Store IS IN HOLIDAY GARD
Rich Display at Leyson's Attracts
Many of the Holiday
Shoppers.

An event of the holiday shopping sea-
son was the Christmas opening at Ley
sons jewelry store last evening. 1t was
the first showing of Christmas goods
at the store, and a large crowd of peo-
pie took advantage of the opening to
make their choice of gifts.
In addition 10 a heavy line of Christ
mas gifts. the store is showing a large
numbe- of valuable gems. set and un-
set. Among these are q large number
of diamond necklaces, valued as high
as $1,000 each. One show case in the
front of the store was filled with dia-
monds- The light shining on the hun
dreds of precious gems made a brilliant
effect
The decorations of the store were
suggestive of the Yuletide. Strings of
flowers entwined the chandeliers and
masked the supports of the arc lights.
An orchestra played from behind a
bank of flowers in the rear of the store
building. An extra corps of clerks was
at the store to show the Christmas Jew
elry. and special policemen and detec-
tives mingled with the crowd to guard
against the possible activity of shop
filters
