The Burger Dry Goods company was
 found satisfactory place indeed for the
 many seekers after personal adornment

 at home in the afternoon but deferred the
 pleasure of many shoppers until this the
 second day of the opening. The store
 looked most attractive with it's new fall
 goods distributed in windows outside and
 in every department. The show windows
 were especially attractive. One was de-
 voted to materials and trimmings. Chif-
 ions rich of texture and bright or som
 bie of color were draped in graceful
 style; dark colors and heavy textures
 lied with the more fragile character
 Black marqusette was shown bordered
 with bright blue; double faced satins. rich
 in color and with the fetching contrast
 of widely differing color interested many.
 Beaded bands and rich garniture largely
 made of gold, silver or of crystals showed
 the many possibilities in the new designs.
 In the opposite window were several
 lovely costumes. There were chic tailored
 gowns of rough gray mixtures, browns and greens. A white net robe embroid- cred in pearls and bordered in jeweled
 bands was a veritable confection, and the slight touch of pink in the bodice made it the more effective. One of the handsom- est toilettes was built of kaiser blue satin. The overdrapery was of black embroid- cred net, showing a touch of rose and gold lace in the bodice which was fin ished with a charming white lace yoke. very decolette gown was black char | meuse made empire and with tiny white lace yoke.
