BUSINESS DAYS AFTER OPENING
Crowds swamp Dreyfus Store During
Style Show With Live
Models.

Twice the store space would not
have been too much said the man
agemeut Of the Dreyfus store. refer
ring 10 the crowds at the record
brea king style show just past.
The crowds We're far too large for
lie approval Is the sales which were
made even al the time OF the public
showing.
1t was without a doubt the living
models and the grand collection or
real imported gowns and hats that
brought the crowds. There we're
three sessions, and at each the crowi
was SO great that We had TO stop sne
elevator and endeavor to keep tho
late-comers on the first floor ansf
there was room for them on the Sec
ond floor salesrooms.-
Yes, they were New York girls"
remarked the management, but We
would much rather have shown our
gowns on Richmond girls New York
and Richmond girls are the onfy wo-
men in this country who know how
TO walk. Go to New York and you
Will hear them talk OF the carriage
OF the Richmond girl. The position
ct model is so conspicuous, however
that we thought 1t best not to use
Richmond girls to display our gowns ="
As PROOF or the aoOQndipE falt6 or
the management In the style and good
taste OF the Richmond women, one
need but look over the truly magnifi-
cent collection of authentic imported
creations which the Dreyfus Store
carries in stock.
According to a New York man who
happened into the store, there is moth
ing in the way OF styles In New York
that cannot be duplicated in the
Dreyfus Store.
In fact, IL has been said that this
shop could duplicate anything 10 be
had at n. Altman Il Co.'S store In
New York conceded To be the finest
and most completely stocked estab-
llshment in the United States.
The elaborate preparation made by
tho management in catering to the
women of Richmond may we'll be
taken as delicate compliment 10
their advanced ideas as to style and
good taste.
Extra saleswomen have been en-
gagged and many improvements In
store service and arrangement are
being effected to take care OF the ad-
ditionai trade which Is responding 10
the call of quality. Every saleswo-
man Is busy now, and from all indi-
cations will be until Christmas.

SpringfeId's Civic Beauty Plan.

Springfield. capital of Massachusetts, is
In the throes of a city beautiful cam
paign which involves the relocation of
the railroad trackage Of the steam lines
entering that city, the construction of q
union station and the restoration of the
water front of the city 10 the general
uses of the citizens rather than to the
uses of trade. The main idea running
through the whole scheme is the crea-
ton of water park along the pank of
the Connecticut river, much OF the terri
tory necessary to the accomplishment of
this design now being occupied by steam
railroads.
Springfield has been debating this mat
ter for number of years, 1t has been
the subject Of much discussion and con-
troVersy, numerous plans and proposals
have been preached and commissions ap-
pointed for the consideration of the prob
lens involved have made voluminous re-
ports. The contemplated improvement to
Springfield is a matter of lively concern
throughout Massachusetts, and there
seems to be a general agreement among
the Bay state press that the problem nears
solution. Tie city deserves the moral
support and approval of all other cities
which are trying to improve their con-
dition and make happier and healthier
the surroundings under which their
people live. Springfield with her river
front plans consummated will be one of
the handsome cities of the country.
