 OF KAUFMAN X co

Last of the fash ionable shops to hold 6 Co, held one of the smartset exhibi- tions of new gowns yesterday that has been seen in many seasons The build ing on Second avenue used for several months for the Japanese auction has been remodeled and decorated in the handsomest style and with it's excel lent facilities for exhibiting and stor- ing stock was veritable revelation to those who visited it's several depart ments yesterday, when it was opened for the first time to the public.
 From the windows, which indicated the elegance within. to the highest floor, the decoration is in perfect taste. The store furnishings are green and the finish mahogany throughout Plate glass mirrors in the che eval length are introduced at intervals over the entire building, and are especially plentiful in the handsome fitting rooms on the third floor. A beautiful rest room Is also located here and mahogany and green basketry furniture are comfor- tably placed.
 Only two figures were used yester- day in the decoration of the windows, a central one perfectly gowned standing in each, while cut flowers imparted an air of festivity. Both gowns are im- ported from the French shops and are dreams of artistic workmanship. The evening gown is built of Nile green meteor crepe, It's graceful flowing lines emphasizing the fact that 1t was the production of an artiste. This. as in the other new gowns, has the sugges tion of the high waist but is withal fitted to the figure. It is an all-green costume, the bodice being adorned with a superb design effected in green jet beads which also train the three quar- ter sleeves. The neck is squarely cut. directoire sash of the same material as the gown imparts an exquisitely graceful touch to the costume. The gown shown in the opposite window is essentially different but also shows the French touch. Blue messaline forms the foundation. Over it is filmy taupe chiffon draped in the tunic effect and caught high in front. The bodice is draped and extends low over the short sleeves which are fashioned of rich cream silk lace. The costume is heav- fly embroidered in the shades of gray and blue. The beauty of these costumes is heightened by the artistic surround ings in which they are placed. On mar ble and mahogany pedestals yesterday were vases containing large clusters of pink carnations, while baskets of growing plants were suspended at the side.
 Handsome palms and ferns decorated the interior of the store, while in the center of the lower floor were placed several immense floral horseshoes, bearing the cards of some of the local merchants and others from out of town. The first floor is used exclusively for waists, petticoats and top coats. The
