(By Emily Emmit.)
 Chancing to pass along Broad street yesterday morning I was attracted by the huge show windows of Hadley's the large new furniture house which has come to Bridgeport What par ticularly caught my attention was a handsome bedroom suite of Cireassian walnut consisting of eight pieces: bed, dresser, chiffonier, dressing table and chairs. It was one of the most beau tifu1 sets had ever seen: In another window an Ivory enamel mahogany trimmed bedroom suite was shown which certainly was a bea uty. The dark border of mahogany made an ex- cellent contrast with the rich ivory of the pieces proper. The John street window held a Jacobean library set which was particularly good to look upon,
 The attractiveness of the windows made me decide to see the interior of the store. As entered the door I was amazed at the grand array Of beau tiful, small articles of Furniture which greeted my eye. Every kind of loung- ing chair with great leather cushions was to be seen; every kind of a libra ry table; small chairs, suitable for corners; desks; electric lamps and charming clocks and statuettes In graeeful design
 Colonial Designs.
 Groupings of special pieces, colonial in design, were so suggestive of for lner times, that .one would almost sup pose themselves to have been, in some unaccountable manner, transported hack a few decades. into the home of some ancestor Always included in such groupings is the tall, mahogany clock, which was invariably to be found in the hall, and whose kindly face is known to children of this gem eratiou as .sGrandfather's Clock.
 Then there is a colonial sewing table which stood so often by the side of grandmother and seemed a veritable treasure box, with it's many pieces or codored silk and it's odd buttons.
 The rocker, too, such as she used, and the quaint little chair which ht- ted into the corner are all to be found in these groupings. Beside these, a prominent place.. is the desk on which she penned her notes to grand father, then a. gay young fellow, fight ing for the liberty of his. country in the Revolutionary war.
 Thinking of colonial furniture, re- minds me of the beautiful mahogany, colonial bedroom suite which I saw in one part of the store. Four poster twin beds were used while the usual dresser, chifenier and other artlcles made up the set.
 My interest in the beautiful furni- ture on the first floor had been so en- thusiastic. that the courteous sales man asked me to view the furniture in the other departments.
 As we stepped from the elevator to the fourth floor. a beWildering array | of dining room furniture in mahogany, fumed and golden oak and many oth- CT woods met our eyes. The third floor is given up to bed room rur- niture of every description Various f,f F1v iV.fSFa a nd beds and every kind of dresser dressing table cfiffonier, wardrobe and bed- room chair are shown. The second floor is devoted to parlor furniture There are all kinds of suites. while single pieces represent every known wood used for furniture. Among the most popular of these woods are Cir cassian walnut, birdseye maple, ma- hogany and tuna mahogany, fumed and golden oak, and ivory enamel. The Carpet Department. Also on this floor is the large carpet and rug department and many beau- tifu1s examples Of the manufacturer s lection which Is on display. The base- nnent of the high building is given over to a great display of stoves and other kitchen furniture.
 Among the other interesting articles 1 of furniture which I saw on display 
 chair of mahogany, which is meant to be placed in g. corner. a mahogany tea wagon, a mahogany nest of tables, and a number of handsome cedar lchests. 4 handsome dining room set 1 of Kaiser grey and a number of tapes try chairs and settees held my atten- tion and admiration for some time. In fact so many and varied were the arr ticles which saw in my visit to this store that it would be impossible kk. S.- was impressed by the heighth of the ceilings of the display rooms, and l by the splendid artistic Tightening ar- Irangements Of art dones and lamps which are to be found in each depart ment.
 in Parian dornes, besides lending an artistic air to the whole, throw a clear light upon the article which you are trying to see perfectly with the idea of purchasing.
