SPRING STYLE SHOW SCORES A
BIG HIT,

big Spring Style Show, inaugurated
Tuesday and Wednesday by enter
prlsing merchants of Paris, scored
a big hit" The Show was a success
in every particular, and received a
! well-merited need of praise from the
big audience that packed the Paris
Grand both nights.
Did the men go to the Style Show?
Did they? We say they did. They
were there in numbers and seemed
to enjoy every bit of it. The wo-
men were certain to go anyhow
because anything relative to fashions
and style naturally appeals to them,
| and style show is the very apothe-
osis of attire. But, since the an
nouncements were made that the
merchants would have some very
startling displays in women's and
mems attire, the women had to fight
their way<in and take their. chances
through a crowd of men. Clothes at
tract women. What is more or less
inside of clothes attracts the men.
This is combination which does
credit to the mythologicai-instin Of
Paris merchants. The Style, Show
was success because it was so des-
tined from the very start.
When the doors of the Grand were
opened Tuesday night for the first
performance there was a veritable
stampede and in a short while the
house was filled from pit to dome,
and standing room at a premium.
Even window seats were seized on as
points of vantage. Anticipation was
at high pitch, and the feminine
portion of the audience could hardly
wait for that part of the program
where the, fashions would be the
leading feature.

Orchestra, and the picture feature,
