In my opinion, the most attrac-
tive and artistically decorated store
window in town Is that in CARRIER
Brothers furniture store. Having
given only one glance at the win
dow, ones eye is Immediately at
tracted by the delightful color
scheme Of the window. The color
scheme is carried out in shades Of
yellow, brown and the natural
maple tint 1t Is brought out even
to the most minute details which
assist In making the window all
that fastidious and artistic nature
might desire.
The subject OF display is a very
beautiful twin bedroom suite. The
furniture Is made OF q very high
grade OF maple and is a Colonial
period style.
The background Of the suite Is a
rich velvet Of a golden brown tint.
Even the dainty crystal lamps with
the shades Of pleated chintz. and
the quaint mirror are very differ
ent from those ordinarily seen.
The lighting system Is without
doubt one OF the best in any store
in New Britain.
All in ell, the window Is so ar
tlstic in style, and rich In quality,
that believe may safely say that
there is not a window in any store
in New Britain to compete with 1t.

OF course. Didn't you think 1t was
the best window in the Better
Window Contest?" I did. Why?
1t was a window one would not

window at which one would stop,

gay, 1T was just a living room"
Yes, but 1t was beautiful, well
planned one.
The living room Is the heart Of
the home, the place where the FAM
lily gathers after dinner. A living
room should be cosy and home like.
Could one be more so than B. C.
Porter's with a fireplace, deep
divan, a cosy arm chair, many
books. and lamps which, when
lighted, throw a soft glow?
The window, as a whole, was
trimmed with such care that not
one detail was lacking.
People have stopped at B. c.
Porter's sometime this week and
found themselves wanting a new
living room. Why had they Just
found that out? They have passed
many windows In which a living
room set was displayed. without
wanting one like it. This is the an
swer. The window was so artistical-
ly trimmed that they did not pass
It by but they stopped, looked, and
then decided to enter the store. -

An essential factor In drawing
buyers Is an attractive window dis
play. as every merchant realizes.
The window which attracted me
most was that of Ashley Babcock's
store.
To display to the best advantage
their dress suit. topcoat. hat, scarf
and gloves, they have placed them,
as might gentleman's valet, on
table. chair, and stool ready to don
for the evening. Each fine detail of
the outfit is emphasized by the soft |
color Of the light blue rug, while |
in the corners unobtrusiye, but re-
freshing ferns add beauty to the
display.
In convenient spots frosted lights
are placed to show one each stylish |
trr:n and line of the suit.

AZ a result of the harmonious

strong drawing power has been
created, and as a whole the win

clcse observation and careful choice,
I consider 1t the best in town. -

The drawing power of a window
depends upon the lights and ar
