1.-The stores for whom the displays
were shown.
The affair was very cleverly ar
ranged for not only did the models
furnish the usual style show parade
but there was a reception scene in
which lovely evening dresses were
displayed. Miss Alice Burnett and
Miss Mae O'Connor were hostesses in
this scene. Here was where the
furniture from the Seabourn Nercan-

stuffed suite in taupe and rose,
library table, a bridge lamp. piano
lamp, Windsor chair. and other artic-

parlor suite was also very attractive.
Some potted plants from the Delta
Floral company added an artistic
touch and there were a number of
corsage bouquets worn by the models
at the reception.
Unusually good music was furnish
