SEES AUTO SHOW
lighted With Beautiful Exhi-

To the strains Of martial airs by
Kessnich's orchestra furnishing the
melody for the occasion. Richmond
society last night took g. peep at the
automobile show
The artistic arrangement of the
cars rendered pleasing background
10 the throng of handsomely alfred
men and women that promenaded
the spacious aisles In review of the
newest in motor car design and
style.
To the motorist who has become
familiar with the get out and get
under" proposition these smart toys
would seem extremely uniting, but
these dealers claim the cars of their
recommendation require not the
necessity OF taking along a suit OF
overalls in contemplation of trouble.
In fact, the cars of today are design
ed for comfort, combining simplicity
and design free from aggrevating
difficulties.
Az strange as II may seem, the
balcony where the dancing takes
place wac free from the lovers OF the
graceful art. for all seemed absorbed
In the show. They were eager and
dealers were heard TO say that deals
were being closed for early deliveries
OF many handsome machines.
II was altogether q most satfsfac-
tory night for the show and those
who love the gay, care free laughter
OF merry throng were not disappoint-
ed for all went merry for dealer and
spectator.

in Virginia He believes the associa-

great benefits to be derived from such
