 6 Co.'s Speciality Shop.

There is rare treat in store for the women who attend Meigs & Co. s initial display of Fall fashions this week. The range of styles shown is broad, and involves not only the best American styles in tailored suits, but the rich, and often dazzling, ere ations of the ateliers of Paris, Vienna and Berlin. The suits are beau fully simple, coats long and showing 1.-the, graceful curves; the skirts plaited in variouos ways. Suit materials are rough diagonal weaves, chevron weaves in serges, plain and fancy Worsteds. anu serges, and, for more dressy suits, broadcloth is used as it is for afternoon gowns and evening dresses. Silks are strong in favor for dresses, gorgeous in hues for recep- tion wear, but plain for home and afternoon dresses. But the trim mings-in them the barbaric splen- dor of the Middle Ages, ricn em- broideries and brilliant color effects Wrested by the Crusaders from the infidel Saracens, are destined to daz- gle the eyes of mankind, this season. Yet the harmonies are preserved in the application of the trimming. The medieval fashions tinge all the dress models of the year. In addition to suits and dresses, Meigs & Go. are also showing the new Fall styles in Waists, Aechwear, Coats, Automo- Jile Apparel, Skirts, Petticoats. Hos iery and Shoes. The show is an in- teresting exhibit of correct fashions, and that it is so recognized by all women is evidenced in the outpour- ing of enthusiastic women in the big store this week.
