Brunswick, Maine figured out that women like to ho at ensv, don't like to be rushed, like to take their own tiino and comfort when buying drosses; and ho moved Ii is dress goods department to tho second floor. Since then, no store lias placed that department lower than the second floor. And further more, that particular section is regarded as tho aristocratic section, the piece tic re nistutiee, or the tints ex muchina in the business of selling goods to women ; and it is treated accordingly. Its floors are cov ered with soft and rich carpets Artistic and costly chairs, such as perhaps tho ma jority of purchasers never have tho priv ilege of sitting in elsewhere, aro strewn about in careless elegance. Clieval glasses nnd dainty dressing tables, with silver backed toilet sets, are on all sides. And even the most phlegmatic nnd indifferent of dressers can but feel that priniping-up sense, that subtle infusion of desiro for the better which is likely to make her go home with a thirty-five dollar or forty dollar gown, when sho came in with the intention of being satisfied with the "Mock of a Philadelphia manufacturer bought at such prico that we are offering it at ten dollars per garment." A rulo of color blending and cumulat ing, nnd of not mixing grades to the dis advantage of both, prevails throughout the store. It governs tho display of cloths in the bolt. It governs the dis play of ribbon's on tho counters. It even penetrates to tho promiscuous displays in the basements. For, thero is subtlety in the treatment of colors, and wisdom in the avoidanco of unpleasant juxtaposi tions. And should tho buyer by any chnnco escape scotfrco in the face of all this mastery of selling-display, all this appeal to the eye and the fancy and the pride, tho enticing game has still another, in fact still several other, angles to it. And somo of those angles lift the depart ment store considerably above tho mere field of merchandising. Somo of them enter into the field of public interest and economics, and boiiic merely deal with tho luxuries and pleasures of human enter tainment. For example, a department store in Indiana gives f reo lessons in dress fitting to all customers desiring them. Another merchant clsowhero lends sewing machines and gives fabrics, threads, trimmings, etc., to tho dressmaking classes of Settlement ami Neighborhood Insti tutes. Still another gives instructions in making dresses, from cloth on salo in the store, to conform to imported models. Numerous department stores maintnin such things as china kilns, to encourage tho hand-painting of dishes and tho growth of domestic art. Cooking schools in tnin iaturo aro not uncommon. And object lessons in sanitation nnd its various cur rent developments aro universal. MOT only does tho department store work to stimulnto the immediate pur chasing desiro on tho part of its patrons, but it works also to keep alivo the good feeling side. It aims to ninko store-going as much of n pleasure, and fascination as visiting a fair. To that end, it supplies its patrons with nbnost everything on the amusement end of life, from toy demon strnting to orchestra music. In its cafe, which also is spread with comfort, elo ganco and moderation in prico in order that patrons of the storo mny keep in good humor, it has tho best of musicians and tho best of musical progrnms. In its windows it exhibits neroplnnes when theso aro inventedand gives practical dem onstration of tho uso of wireless teleg raphy from its roof. Ono storo imported a bit of radium at great expense when that substanco was first discovered and exhibited it where tho public could see it freely. A Chicago department store has developed a choral society among its clerks. And thero is not a social or polit ical event of any magnitude that is not in somo manner or other reproduced in somo store window or interior. At nny cost, seems to say tho modern merchant, keep tho peoplo interested. Make them feel that they havo been to a free exposition and that what they take away with them is not only something purchased for their own needs, but also is something that indicates that they aro living up to tho times, aro providing them selves with tho latest conveniences and improvements, and aro doing all that is in their power to add to the joy anu satis faction of living.
