w customer '" or the salesman sl,'s
Neither answers the man who
has created Liliputa, New Works very
newest speciality shop, and proceeds to
prove it by making a department which
combines administrative efficiency with
shopping convenience, and has as many
devices for the comfort of the clerk as
for the purchaser.
1t is a favorite notion of Phillip lie
Boutillier. of Best & Co., that in this
dual consideration lies the secret of
success. He considers it as important
for the girls who work in Liliputia to
who shop there. The same thought
which has devised the shop where
everything is on reduced scale, so
that the children may feel that it is
truly theirs, has included in the plan a
system to make working pleasure for
the salespeople at a minimum expend-
iture of energy.
For the children nothing could be
more happily arranged than the shops
of Lilipntia. One goes up six steps
and through an archway and finds q
large room with a wide lane in the
middle, and opening on this from either
side numbers of small speciality shops.
Each shop is devoted to a certain kind
OF merchandise. There is an athletic
room, a menagerie. a dolls palace, a
game room, a library and barber
shop.
Within the confines of the four walls
it is possible to do most of ones Christ
mas shopping, while all the time the lit
tie doors with bright shingles swinging
before them and the small tables out
side bearing wares to indicate what, is
within, give one a delightful feeling of
having found an outdoor shopping dis
trilt in a city which fits.
1t is the library, perhaps, of which
Liliputia is proudest. 1--WE have built
it like little girl with tucks in her
dress" explains Miss Dorothy Smith,

fertile fields for creative designing.

freeing of Alsace-L Lorraine from Ger
man domination, the Mallinson Silk
Company, has taken cue from the
both here and abroad and produced a
new silk dedicated entirely to them.
Since the signing of the armistice
French people have been wearing in
their buttonholes small wooden but
tons, carved in the shape of small
boy and girl, hand in hand, and en-
ameled in bright colors. The girl, who
wears large black Alsatian head dress,
obviously represents the provinces, and
it is whispered that the young gentle
man was primarily intended by his
French designer to represent President
Wilson, leading the blushing Alsace
Lorraine back to the mother country.
Coming in q variety of colors the new
silk will be available to patriots who
like to wear their hearts on their
sleeves, or at least as publicly as their
coat Innings. And little girls may
clothe themselves in an entire costume
of this funny and fascinating fabric.
The best feature of the new silks
lies in the fact that every yard sold
means a material benefit to some
AlsaceL child, for the manu-
facturers will give cents of the profit
on each yard to the fund for Alsatian
orphans. A piece of the new fabric, to-
gether with the information regarding
the money for the orphans, is now on
the way to Mr. Blumenthal, head of the
Alsatian Society in Paris Sales will
