Carnival of Spring Fashions. - Late arrivals of millinery, frocks, suits, coats, blouses, gloves, neckwear, veils hun dreds of tilings hurried from the centers of fashion and displayed for all our customers who wish to see the very newest ideas. Nature is busy bringing out her faster flock of daffodils, crocuses, violets, syringfa and other flower creations and training her birds to sing that winter is past. But nature has no more flowers at her com mand than the myriad ideas which have flowered in the alembic of fashion. "What is the mode?" asks a Paris fashion writer. "Who knows? But it is assuredly elegant," is the answer. One great Paris dressmaker speaks for hoops and farthingales . . . another for short sleeves and frills ... a third for straight Grecian lines . . . a fourth for basques and long, tight sleeves ... a fifth for the colors f Egyot . . . a sixth for flounces, sashes, fichus 9. . . a seventh advocates everything for sports. The world has never known such a galaxy of modes. . - So.do.you wonder that we call this the Spring Fashion Carnival? r Representatives of all these new fashions are to be seen here at Meier & Frank's.

An Italian Renaissance Dining, Room Suite at $3,875.00 ' IN .BURLINGTON HOUSE (ShVENTII FLOOR) MARKS THE SPRING EXPOSITION OF THE FURNISHING GALLERIES SUITE of ,solid black walnut, massive enough to endure for more than one century richly hand carved with the acanthus leaf, the scroll and fret designs of 16th-century Renaissance nobly shaped as though it might have been designed tor so,me palace oi tne pope or the Medicis of that marvelous period of the world's awakening. Before the 16th century fur niture hadben solemn, heavy, unwieldy, uncomfortable. Be ginning with 1600, great artists of the Renaissance raised furni ture making to an art and for the first time designed it to suit the purpose and character of the owner. You will notice in this Burling ton House suite the imposing chair of the period with the chair cushions a rrt of the seat, an innovation of Renaissance artists. The long, richly carved sideboard is another origination of the Renaissance mentioned by Ben venuto Cellini. The silver cup board is rather like the old chests of the Renaissance, but behind the closed carved doors are mov able trays for the housewife's linens. The large oblong dining table has the massive carved sup ports for which one instinctively seeks in anything Renaissance and the beautiful wall table is distinguished by the same char acteristics of the period. ; OUR COMPETENT TORS IS AT YOUR IM This dining suite of ten mar velous hand-wrought pieces Is the product of an American fur niture maker. It is an honor to America that Americans can .create such beauty such line suDstantiai crausmansnip. No time-worn survival of the actual Renaissance could be more intrinsically valuable than this rarely Interesting 20th-century Renaissance suite. We speak of it thus in detail to illustrate the fact that whatever is fine whatever is needed to fur nish the luxurious home may always be found in the MEIER & FRANK Furnishing Galleries. Equally rich furniture Is to be had here for the living room, the bedroom and the formal hall, together with the harmonious furnishings, such as carpets, hangings, curtains, pictures, mir- rors, lamps, china, glass, linens, silver.
