It re- quired the united efforts of every the- oe atrical manager in New York City to accomplish a feat similar to that which Dr. Myers has carried out single-handed. However, the shepherd of the Baptist Temple flock is not afraid. apparently, of causing amazement. Having already startled the religious community with his “hats off in church” edict, he does not hesitate to annex an anti-climax by adding that selfishness, not vanity, ac- tuates feminine rebellion against the rule, Of course, a different construction might be placed upon this last statement of his. One cannot but mentally conjecture whether Dr. Myers would consider 8 distracting pride in one's headgear a, less deadly sin that obstructing the view | of himself.

Yet they are in this sale in scores of styles—and their prices ere not far frem one-half the normal figures. Women’s Suits—Showing the Style- Getting Power ot $25 It the picture that goes with this paragraph doesn’t show you a suit that strikes you as a remarkably good one for $25, then the artist has failed to mse to her opportunities, or the attractions of the suit are too elusive for pen and ink. Because, in fact, this is as handsome a twenty-five dollars’ worth as we have been able to give this season—and that is saying a good deal. The material 1s a grade of broadcloth considered by most makers too good to go into $25 suits. Choice of navy-blue, smoke, black and green.

Greenhut & Company, %ih Ave, 18th to 19th $& wererreanescen Tomorrow---Inauguration of A New Mercantile Enterprise Of Commanding Importance to Architects, Decorators, Home-Makers And Citizens Generally HAT spirit of public improvement during the last decade which produced the Greater Columbia College, the splendid Library of the City of New York,’the great subways and mighty office edifices, has also given birth to a new mercantile enterprise of commanding importance to New York City. The old A. T. Stewart Business, which the New York “Tribune” called in 1862 “the proudest monument of commer- cial enterprise in this country,” now seems small and antiquated in comparison with the present organization and equipment of the Wanamaker business in New York, which today consists of THREE COMPLETE EXCLUSIVE STORES First—The Woman's Store—the entire Stewart Building—wholly for Dry Goods and Wearing Apparel. Second—The Man's Store, on the entrance floor of the new building—wholly for Men's and Boys’ Wear. Third—Inaugurated Tomorrow — THE WANAMAKER GALLERIES OF FURNISHING AND DECORATION, COMPRISING THE NEW BUILDING FROM THE FIRST GALLERY TO THE ROOF. New York has no other 16-story mercantile building, of the extent of this, nor do we know of another like it in the world—fireproofed from top to bottom—fioors, roofs, walls and fixtures, from sub-cellar up—to convenience and safeguard throngs of people on all stories. It was specially constructed for a special purpose—to fulfil a long cherished plan of the owner and builder to give to New York i A NEW KIND of FURNISHING and DECORATING BUSINESS altogether different from the old “Department Store Sort.” It is devoted exclusively to Furniture, Draperies and Laces, Carpets, China, Eastern and European Ceramics, Glass, Crystals, Pianos, Organs, Housefurnishings and the spacious light workrooms required to economically make draperies, mattresses and homefurnishings. The “House Palatial” built and furnished in the center of our little world of Furnishings and Decorations is now ready to example a new proposition, Outside the “House Palatial,” its lofty hall and staircases, twenty-two rooms and Summer Italian court garden, finer than many $250,000 Fifth avenue mansions, there are also now ready forty-four Furnished rooms representing various periods to enable archi- tects and homemakers to study and select proper furniture and house adornments, and to enable them to individualize their homes trom the mere commercial furnishing way. Brains plus Furnishings NEWLY ORGANIZED STAFF of well-known, competent and ex- perienced artistic originators of designs for Furniture and ‘Decora- tion, of acknowledged ability, to assemble and harmonize the proper pieces and draperies for a house, is already installed to under- take any orders entrusted to us. No home is too large or too small to receive our best attention, For profit and reputation, we shall have special brains to put with the Furniture and Draperies we sell. Yet with our large out- put it will not be necessary to have exorbitant prices or to do in- terior work or use undependable materials. Our Paris house and staff enables us to do quick work in special things to be had abroad and is a daily aid to us in new ideas and new goods. Oct. 14th a Day ot Courtesy The advantage of quickly assembling and grouping, in our studios and saloons,the actual pieces of finished furniture, of the periods with the rugs and carpetings to suit, and the wall coverings and curtains and tapestries to harmonize, will be much more to the satisiaction of buyers than the usual small water-color sketches, photographs and the usual cerpet and drapery samples. A different assemblage and grouping can be made every day in the week out of our ample stocks until the purchaser 1s pleased, “HOUSE PALATIAL” and a Fine Assembly’ of Period Furniture will be ready for PUBLIC INSPECTION FOR FOUR DAYS, From Wednesday, October 14th, and Thereafter A VISIT AND LEISURELY STUDY INVITED Nothing wii be sold in the Galleries on the Courtesy Day. “FOLLOW THE CROWD?” into The World’s ‘Want’?
