Spring Fashions! What will they
be? Never before has Paris herself
made such daring changes. And Am.
erica's part has been well played, too
Naturally she has copied Paris, but
she, too, has created styles. Her own
ideas have not been neglected. SO we
see we are face to face with an array
of Fashion, Parisienne and American
and all made to suit our needs.
Spring in all it's bloom and glory has
arrived in Minot. Not alone is there
everything that one desires, the sun is
bright and warm and the air crisp and
balmy, but the Spring flowers are in
bloom after a cold and dreary winter
At least all this is true so far as The
Fair Store is concerned. for in this
great store there is everything men
toned, and good deal more that la
dies especially will be particularly
pleased with if they call and see what
the store looks like during their Style
Show to be held next week.
On Thursday, April 3rd, during the
afternoon from 2 to 5 o'clock, The
Fair Store of Minot will put on
Style Show with several living models
displaying the very latest fashions for
Easter and Summer wear. This is
something entirely different from any
thing ever attempted before in Minot
and we will agree with this progress
slve firm that it is a great asset to the
public, more so to the ladies who are
always glad to see what is new in
STYLES. 1t will give the women an ex-
cellent opportunity to view the many
new things that delight and please so
much, as they can see just how the
Spring garments will look on others
and if they wish, may try them on
themselves.
The Fair Store has made splendid
preparations to display their new
fashions on the elevated center sec
tion of the store, just the right height
to give everyone fine view of the
several models who will display the
very newest outer apparel especially
tailored in smart dressy styles for the
women of Minot and vicinity.
Music will be furnished by Hovind's
6-piece concert orchestra which will
be located in the balcony at the rear.
Selections will be played that will be
iov to hear and will be treat in it
self. . 55 i3aN
The first impression one oets upon
entering the store is of Spring. The
store has been tastefully decorated
with handsome springtime flowers and
Easter lilies, with here and there trel-
lis work and hanging baskets with
clinging flowers. These are in profus-
ion. and coupled as they are with the
Spring flowers and the hundreds of
beautiful things that this store offers,
they add materially to the attractive
ness of one of the finest and handsom-
est stores in the city and the north
west.
During Style Show week The Fair
will have an exhibition in one Of heir
display windows of STYLES that our
Grandm others wore. They are from
50 to 60 years old and were actually
worn by prominent New Hampshire
society ladies.
How queer one would look now in
the long sweeping skirts that lay sew
ora inches on the floor. Can you pos
slbly picture a Minot woman walking
down Main street in skirt this
length? And then they were all lined
niger tips. You would hardly believe
ties, some pads, some hoops with yards
and yards of material all gathered at
the top in funny little tucks and pleat-
ings.
Then the straight, tight fitting
waists or basques as they were called,
with their trimmings of buttons, flow
crs. braid and ruffles, with the great,
big. full sleeves and little narrow
waists. We know you will laugh but
nevertheless they were "the thing
years ago.
Brocaded coatees or Dolmans, such
as they are called now, with long tas-
sells and fringes, coming just to the
finger tips. You void hardly believe
it but we have seen them ourselves
and we wish every woman could see
them. They are really wonderful
sight
1t will be well worth while to pay
a special visit to the Fair Store on this
day lust to view the living models, the
charming exquisite advance styles, the
pretty decorations, and hear the mu-
sic. 1t will be trip that you will re-
member and love to talk about.
