’ { THE SUNDAY STAK, WASHINGTON, D. ©, MAY 11, 1924—PART 1. 22 W by Tomorrow is THE LAST DAY of the most successful Sale in the history of the Palais Royal. Nothing has been left undone 1o make it as record-breaking as THE FIRST DAY of this Sale, not only in attendance, but in the quality and quantity of the merchan- dise offered to our customers. Let us say here our sincere appreciation of the patronage of all our customers—those who were already patrons of this store and the hundreds of new customers who have joined them. We will strive to continue to merit your confidence and good will. The Last Echo BY ETHEL M. PARKS. Tomorrow is the last day of this Great May Sale. It has been a rev- elation to me. And it has been suc- cessful from every viewpoint; from the customer’s viewpoint, because of the splendid bargains which they have obtained; from the viewpoint of the management, because of the satisfaction expressed by the cus- tomers, the almost incredible at- tendance and the hundreds of new customers and friends which it has made for the store; from the view- point of the buyers who have felt well repaid for their efforts to se- cure the latest and best in mer- chandise for this great sale, and from the viewpoint of the sales force, who have given the best that was in them, and who received kindly consideration from the cus- tomers. But as one of my associates very often says, “Tomorrow is another day,” which means that just as much effort must be expended, with just as much enthusiasm, to make tomorrow just as successful as to- day. And that is what we are striv- ing to do—to make this Monday just as successful as last Monday. Starting on the fourth floor and going down, I found so many really new ideas in furniture that my en- thusiasm, which was a bit frazzled from overexercise, got a new start and ’m off again. A novel telephone stand is a graceful enclosed cabinet of solid mahogany, with a serpentine top and a cane-seat chair to match. An exceedingly new bookrack is one on wheels, like a teacart, with a bookrack and two shelves beneath it, which may be easily moved be- side your favorite chair or from one room to another. Solid mahogany, and a thing of beauty as well as a great convenience. Another interesting bit of furni- ture is a combination end table and bookrack in mahogany, at a price that will instantly appeal to Yyou. And here is something every dev- otee of Mah-Jong and Bridge will want. It is a combination bridge and Mah-Jong table, with a green moire top, to which is attached the four racks, with receptacles for the counters—the East Wind designat- ed in a black and gold plate. The racks are easily removed from the sides, and presto! you have a bridge table. It is strongly braced and may be purchased separately if de- sired. But you will want them both I am sure. On_the third floor the “Silk Room” is filled to overflowing with the daintiest, sheerest underthings, with sets particularly for the June bride. The very newest thing is a three-piece set which you will have to see to appreciate. “Three in one”’ really describes it. Made of georgette and chiffon, with rose- buds and ribbons. It is the most adorable thing in underthings this season. Then there are striking negligees which make the lounging hour a bit more luxurious. Black with vivid floral designs, crepe, chiffon and satin combined. On the second floor you will find the new D’Onuzc and mules in colors to match the negligees. Black with pink linings, on:hil; copen. There, too, you will find the new- est Hat and Scarf sets, which have been so much the rage in New York and which are b featured in this sale. Beautiful Sunfast draperies which the upholstery department es to order in all the newest . designs will be found here also. Down on the main floor there are 30 many things that one has diffi- culty in choosing. But the thing that will probably appeal to the great majority of women is the group of wonderfully emBroidered Spanish shawls. And do not forget that today is i\ Mother’s Day. Wear the white carnation, send her @ wire or :'flcuc’r or a'f’m; ot;.ler iate gift. It will do her mwma?guod and make the day @ happy one for her.
