Third Day of Our
Special Opening,
Complete Exhiblt of Up-toDate Merchandise
Nothing but praise is bcing heard from our customers
rcgarding the store, its merchandise and the arrangement
of new things for the opening.
It's our business to be constantly examining and pass
ing on new goods of all kinds, and the tendency is to be?
come familiar with beautiful things in dry goods and per?
haps unexpressive as to their points of beauty. Not so at
this time.
The entire force is cnthused over the superb showing
that is made this Spring.
To-day is the last day of the formal opening?the flow?
ers .ind decorations will disappear. but the merchandise will
rernain until you take it to your homes, which, from present
iridications, will be a matter of a short time. '

What Mr. Lee Says.'
Alr. I,ec's letters read In part'as follows:
The benoflelal effect of a playground
well carrled on, as seems likely to bo the
caso wltli t'hls onc in Rlchmond, ls very
great. To look upon thc negntlvo slde
alone, tho eftect'of such 'a--playground
ln the prcventlon of law-breaklng Is eer?
taln to bo very grorit. For Instancc, tho
nmster of a grammar sehool half a mllc
from our Cplumbns Avenue playground,*
In Boston. told me tho wlntor nfter wc
sturtcd thnt whereas In previous years
httrdly a singlo week had passed wlthout
complnlntfi being madc to hlm of law
breaklng on tlio part of hff boys, thoro
had that year not beon a slngle lnstance
of such complaint. The testimony of the
pollce of thnt dlvlsloii is thc same. Slmi
Inr testimony wns obtainod from a'large
number of policemen ln New York clty.
at thc time of the Investigation mnde by
a commlttee. of which Jacob A. Rlls was
secretary In 1K)7. I have sent you thelr
report. Thc polloenion testllled in sub**'
stanco that wlien a plaj*ground was
started the lawlcss gang dlsappoared. and
their testimony wm absolutely uniform.
Here Is an opportunlty for an investment
that wlll save the tlme of your police?
men. your courts, nnd thn keepers of your
prlsons. to say nothlng of savlng the llves
and characters of your cliildren.
The reason ivhy the playground has
such an effect as this is clear to all
thoso who know the modern clty, and
who know the boy a.s he has always
been and always will he. The sub
stanco of the whole matter Is that
play ls nn essentlal part of a. boy's
life, and that in tlie clty there is no
provislon or opportunlty for plny. 'I
do not thlnk that 'we who were
brought up in suburbs or In small towns
or small citlcs reallze what tho life of the
modern city boy is.' Suppose there was
really aetually np place where you could
go and play a game of'ball wlthout belng
llablo to arrest Tor playlng ln the" street
or to belng driven off a man's land for
trespass. As IN say, lt ls dlfflcult to
imugine the sltuatlon for those of us who
dld not hnve to enduro lt. What could
a boy do under such clrcumstancos? As
has been well sald recently of tho boys
who aro arrested In our cltles. ln nine
cases out of ten the offensn Is ono whlch
tho boy oonimitted simply hecause he was
a boy. and we should have. despiscd him
if he hnd not commlttcd lt. It is simply
bls attempt to lead a normal life. to ox
crciso hls facultlcs in the way that tho
Lord Interided hlm to do, and for whlch
wo. In our hllndnesa, have made no pro?
vislon. To tho' boy In a inodern clty,
without playgrounds, thc alternative pre
sonted la elther stunting from the dlsusc
of hls farulties or breaklng the law.
The wholo questlon ls one ot givlng
the ehlldren tho opportunlty that naturo
intonded them to have to grow-up to be
strong and healthy men and women.
