It has been compiled with the greatest care, and its information will be found to be strictly up-to-date. Even with the greatest care, and with every facility, errors of omis sion and commission will inevitably creep into such a compilation, and it must be attributed rather to the difficulty of obtaining information than to any deliberate intent to ex clude.

Above all, time is of value in shop- ^^^^F ping. There is at least one place in town where the smart woman finds everything ready to her hand, and the menace of being rushed to death is nil. Entering this great modern shop, the tired woman of fashion pays her respects at once to the de partment on the mezzanine floor, sunny, bright, well- ventilated, immaculate, where she goes through the nec essary formalities, indulged in with fastidious regular ity, of shampooing, manicuring, and any other duties con nected with the Beauty Parlor, which her fancy or her needs dictate. The commodious couches, interesting magazines, and spotlessly appointed lavatories of the ad joining Rest Room enable this now relaxed and happy woman to make herself comfortable while awaiting the friend who is to lunch with her downstairs in the cafe whose mirror-lined walls studded with electric bulbs, whose snowy tables, carefully selected menus, and cheer ful aspect are visible from the Mezzanine. But best of all in this restful spot, away from the maddening crowd, free from the irritations that often make shopping so nerve-racking an accomplishment, mi lady does her "looking about," for here in great glass- enclosed cases there are displayed the very latest things —the very dernier cri—in every department of this up-to- date mecca of the well-dressed woman. These cases form the outer walls of the Rest Room, and the articles in them are changed daily, in conformity with the fickle fancies of Dame Fashion and her decrees. From these samples, artistically displayed, the chic woman may choose her wardrobe, or one may at least admire and know just what is happening every 24 hours in every branch of Fashion's world, from gloves, hair-ornaments, and silk stockings, to the elaborations of the toilet ad infinitum, for dinner, dance, sport, or the morning com mittee meeting.
