BRIDAL SECTION
 LATEST FEATURE
MusIer, Liebeskind's An' nOunces Special Service
 for Brides, Graduates

No better suggestion can Dc CR- cred to early Spring ard June brides who are busy at the present time selecting a trousseau, than one to visit to the new and modernly designed bridal and evening gown shop at the Mugler-Leibegkind store at 8 East Main street. With an eye for the last word in service for the bride and her attendants, the management has seen 1t to set aside one corner of the store for the sole purpose of giving prospective brides the latest style in the best possible manner.
 This new addition to the MusIer- Llebeskind store is the first and only department of this kind to be established in the city. The bridal section is taStefully and modernly furnished with eight walnut display cases containing all that could be desired in the Iine of beautiful brid- al ensembles and summer evening dresses. Each display compartment is lighted very attractively and the entire section is made all the more comfortable by the addition of in- viting chairs and A soft mulberry chenille rug.
 Besides the concentration on June brides, this new department will car- fy large and varied collection of dresses most appropriate for grad liation and for summer trips. It is suggested therefore, that the June bride, the young lady seeking the proper evening gown for summer wear and the high school graduate make q note of this new addition to one of the city's leading womenB shops.
