 Social and Business Demands.

At Meigs' opening display. this sea- son, for small or large cost can be seen among the finest assortments of wears for the particular woman.
 The visitors of the opening now taking place are pleasantly surprised at the handsome display of garments for women and girls in that depart ment of this store. The styles and cut and material are all of the very for the manager believes that pleas ed customer is better than a. large profit at the expense of a patron s dissatisfaction.
 material, French serge has largely re placed the bananas so popular last season and the garments are elabor- ately braided or embroidered, ana buttons appear on all coats and in all possible places on suits- Jet orna- inentS are also used.
 Take for instance a sample gown in black French serge, which they are showing. This is an empire giving the short waist effect. A panel ex- tends down the front embroidered in black flo silk and soutache braid The sleeves are long and simulate a mousquetaire- Over this IS worn very handsome coat cut away in front and embroidered to match the gown: This is very reasonable in price and an elegant choice of it's kind.

He believes that Bridge port women know a handsome gown when they see it. He thinks the pres ent style of gOwning is conductive to greater womanlineSS and a love TOT dainty and becoming things naturally follows, and this house is in the field to anticipate that demand even before the women themselves are aware of the change. And so they have large stock of dainty things which women love to wear. The prices are such as to meet the desire of the women of the city and it's friends in the suburbs and the polite SalesladieS are very happy to show them. In this class waists and the large assortment of Irish crochet neck accessories and the broad turnover collars. Here, too, Is shown a novelty in a neck band to be worn with a decollete gown. It Is of embroidered lace and encircles the neck
