Better Homes Display Opens
 With Flourish

With the windows in gala dress and illuminated by soft autumn lights the stores on Main and nearby busi- ness streets presented a very fine ap- pearance last night at the big cele- bration in honor of the opening of Fashion and Better home week. A Halloween colors, orange and black i in their displays but all exhibited the | best and most reasonable of their | stocks.
 It would be hard to say fairly just | which store had the best display be- | cause there was just a variety of | goods shown and such a large mum | Der of novel and original ideas car ried out. However in the windows l of four stores evening gowns created | quite sensation with the public. A fish scale gown and fan made of nov city iridescents was shown at Reads
 store were natty business hats and | exquisite ones for dress occasions. | Shoes, dress goods, sweaters and men | and children's wear were also shown. | Evening gowns with fans. hose and 1 shoes to match, filled the windows | of the Rockwell company. A canary | co1ored fan with @. real pocketbook, | fitted with cosmetic cases and 8 look 1 ing glass, cleverly concealed in the
 top of 1t, attracted the attention of
 many.
 While the display of afternoon, ev- l ening gowns, hats. shoes and neglt- l 1 was very good, the attire of Afhgan l women. which is displayed in the | front window, was exceedingly inter
 esting. An almost priceless costume | and slippers of pure silver were shown
 as the garb of the Afhgan bride. PIG | lures of Mohammaden temples and | Afhgan houses and people add to the 1 novelty of the Idea.
 Depicting women's evening attire l the black gowned waxen lady, in Meigs window is very striking against | the orange velvet hangings. A black
