 is meeting with the most favorable | comment
 Tuesday night saw the opening of ! of wearing apparel. Yesterday the stores were visited and well patron
 ized. A few of the bright lights along
 the route of display in the local
 stores are given here:
 1 Not to show any partiality but
 starting at Golden Hill street,
 fairly fight ones way through an i immense crowd even to get @ glimpse
 of the Conners-Halleran Stores dis | play. Eight living models, four women and four. men, showed the very latest l Of spring attire so effectively that the police were finally forced to hold the crowd back from actually crashing | through the windows themselves. | For once, the men were given equal | showing with the women in the dis 1 play of new togs and in fact the most radical new fashion note came not from the feminine side of the show | but from the masculine. It was the | "spur suit, worn by one of the mo deIs and displaying for the first time 1 trousers similar to those worn by sal | 1ors.
 The suit was four piece one hay ing exceedingly popular knickerbock- CTS for use in sports wear. Tn all, 31 suits for men, form the snappiest new designs to the more | conservative ones were shown by the models.
 vieing with the mems were the newest of women'S spring clothes, sports costumes in the popular flame, | S-. wraps: evening gowns and day dress 's- well suitable business models r~lde their appearance one after an ether.
 A few doors along on the same side of the street, was the Rockwell & Co.'s handsomely decorated windows. Here were exquisite sides, sports costumes and three piece costumes of heavy silk crepe materials, in jade green flame. The new fringed skirts were much in evidence, and the newest of strap pumps.
 The center window was taken up with a beautiful chidren's scene, two small and handsomely dressed young sterS in a seasaw and several others playing about in the most fashionable of spring wear for small folks Like an exquisitely arranged bou- quet was the corner window of the D. M. Read Go. Soft shades of peri wrinkle, blue and lavender were com bined in the most wonderfully bead ed gowns, with draped back grounds of beautiful lace in tones of gray, | cream and purple, as well as white. The other front window had a mag nificent dining room senE to empha- size the fact that the show was for beautiful things for the home as well as for the person, while the side win dows displayed for men and women ! and the corner window at Main and | Fairfield avenue, dainty new spring l clothing for small boys and girls.
 Across the street. the only knicler- | booker girl in the show. sat smiling | in Meigs Co.'S attrative window in a l handsome camePs hair colored suit 1 of this design with a, cape to match. | Another knicker-bocker suit with | coat, instead of cape, and in rose 1 colored material lay before her.
 In other windows of the store were l beautiful beaded blouses and bright | wraps and dresses. Here again the 1 mems wear came in for it's full share | of glory as this concern also gave 1 more window space to the display of | smart toggery for head of the house than for the feminine member. Sev eral windows showed the very newest of new things for men while one was given over to smart clothes for the small boy.
 Along side Meigs' windows was the lovely window of J. c. Neuhoff. A huge, graceful gilded basket filled with spring flowers filled the center of the window and about it were ar ranged exquisite hats in shades of periwinkle and pink. The inner part of the window contained the latest displays of silk underwear, sweaters and hose. while the second window contained a well arranged display of gowns, cloaks and suits.
 Smith & Murray's window was bright with handsome new silk gowns in flame, jade green and peri wrinkle shades, backed by drapings of silk of the same shades. These models bore prices to show how req sonably they might be purchased.
 A young girl, gowned in the very aded in HowIand's window and here again the police were necessary to hold back the good natured but curi- ous crowd. Many wonderful new gowns. cloaks and suits were shown to the delight of the crowd.

Il silk and bead embroidered and | the longer skirts and the side drapes which are so popular now. On the Cannon street side there was a well arranged window of children's clothing.
 
 Entirely different from the other displays were the windows of the Lane Candy Store. Here, to advertise their Golden Pheasant. brand was one | great five pound box of these candies, 1 occupying the place of honor and be- side it a stuffed golden pheasant. An | artistic lamp and a yellow satin II shade stood on a small mahogany ta- ble to one side and a beautiful vase on a teak wood taboret at the other. II It was one of the most artistic win dows in the show. The other win dow contained a display of Easter candies in boxes and tall glass con- with a large chocolate rabbit sitting on top.
 The Arcade had a celebration all its own. Murray's orchestra gave a pro gram of the latest dance music and the crowd danced unmindful of hard
