McInorny's windows on Merchant
and Fort have been dressed with al
much care as ever and have been made
10 attractive ~ the season demands.
Commencing with their Merchant street
window devoted to robes, snit-cngls,
canes and other hints Of the man on the
road and steamer, they have brought
contrasting suggestions Of case into
their adjoining display where the dom.
inant features are bath robes, smoking
jackets and the habiiiments Of the man
OF the easy chair. The dre8sy details
of the man on the street, and his dap.
tper clothing occupy the next two, while
ftheir last Fort street display brings ito
suggestion Of that critical moment for
I ty-thTee minutes before the ball when
the silk hat, the silk socks, the white
vest and the armorial euf-bottoms get
lhopelessly lost Only in this window
tthey are all there. 1
The Attraction Of Gems.
I Wiehman Is window display Of the
|, finer things of life are unusually elab-
Eorate, their diamond window alone con.
ftaining the choice gems of their stock,
running into the thousands in value,
the display broken here and there by
carved worries, miniature worries, and
imported notteries. The soft gray silks
used to dress the window are agreeably
coDtrasted by the slight touch of pur-
pie trimming in the trays. In their
second window, novelties appealing ia
the purse containing two plnnks or one
hundred dollars are intermixed, white
and red constituting the color scheme
while in the adjoining window The same
soft. colored silk is broken by greer
band. Here the finest of optical in
struments, telescopes, opera glasses 'and
the delicate craft of the optician anC
matchmaker are assembled.
