Adams New Window
Display Fascinates
Capital CITY Shoppers

Just as a truly warm breath of
spring swept down on Augusta yes
terday, so did the show windows of
the D. w. Adams Co, on Water
street reflect the spirit of the season
when the curtains were raised at o.
clock, Monday afternoon.
Rarely, if ever in Augusta, have
more artistic backgrounds to window
displays been offered than are provid-
ed in the two big windows of this
store. The backgrounds are made up
of five panels each and each panel is
a most attractive pastoral scene.
| Glimpses Of birches, just breaking
| into leaf, mountains, meadows and
fields are shown in way that makes
one want to get right into the coun-
try and forget the cares Of the city.
But the pictures are not all to the
backgrounds. There are beautiful
wood panels and scrolls that add an
artistic touch.
The window furnishings themselves
are sure to make women stop long
and look ardently. Dresses, suits and
! wraps as well as georgette crepe in
pheasant colors are exhibited in a
most pleasing manner. The south
| window is given over to a display of
,, Harding gray. Harding blue and the
famous Coolidge red.
The entire work of dressing the
| windows was done by Ralph II.
Brown. the Adams decorator. He
painted the backgrounds, cut out the
scrolls and arranged the stock exhi-
| bit.

the Sunday night train for Boston SO
