The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1912-03-28
AT MEIGS & GO.
Ladies Will Be Genuinely Interested in the Spring Display of Suits, Capes and COats-Men's
 Spring Outfits.

On entering the ladies' department l at Mefgs & Co.,, the first thought inn
 pressed upon the writer was the mag
 nifl, ,-nce of the appointments. Hand
 some ferns scattered tastefully about
 the mahogany tables lend an air ot
 refinement and dignity to the store,
 and this, coupled with the splendid
 assortment of goods on display con-
 tributes largely to the success of the 1 department.
 ] First to be seen are the handsome
 new shirtwaists, in all the new de- signs in lingerie and silk. With the
 shirtwaists are shown some new de- ] signs in silk petticOats, while at the right is shown neckwear-wide lace collars, stocks, jabots and other lacy | bits, as we'll as collar and cuff sets. A handsome case is filled with these goods and a showing of the new silk corsage bouquets, in which the rose | predominates.
 In the center of the room is the new l 1y enlarged hosiery and knit under wear department, completely sur l rounded with glass counters, which
 attractively display the. goods. At the | left is the glove and handkerchief de- partment where one may obtain all sizes, lengths and colors of gloves, in the Trefousse and other leading makes. In handkerchiefs one finds only the ! best, no cotton lines being shown. The remainder of the first floor is devoted | to the muslin underwear and corset
 departments, where one may get "Red-
 both Made in Bridgeport, as we'll as
 the best models of the other makes.
 The wonderful displays of billowy white underwear will delight any lady. Included in this department is
 a fine collection of. kimonas, in dotted Swiss, silk and lawn, and in both the long and short style.
 On the second floor the space de- | voted to ladies' and children's suits and coats is about twice that former ly used when the department was on the first floor. Here, as below, the
 room is tastefully decorated with ferns. One may find here all the latest things in children's dresses in white and colors, also fine line of children's coats in the new style with the popular wide collar, in navy, tan, Copenhagen blue and scarlet, with
 serge as the most favored material. All the newest models dn ladies'
 heavy cluny lace and silk. Moder- ately priced street gowns in serge and
 the more expensive evening gowns in silk are all here in great variety. Handsome silk suits are shown, as
 well as evening capes and coats, and a large line of tailored suits. Nor folk coats of white serge in novelty ] basket weave, with yoke and belt are one of the features of the depart ment.
 One must not leave Meigs' without
 seeing the large shoe department in the basement, where shoes of all sizes and prices are seen on every side; and the trunk and bag depart
 ment, in which is also kept a large line Of rainy day goods. The mems department is showing, as usual, the latest and best in mems spring and summer suits and seasonable top coats.
 In all departments of Meigs & Go. the first thought is of quality and
 value, then fit and style and work
 manship To please the customer is | their aim, and large alteration de- partment is a feature of the store
