MY PUTH FINCH WILCOX.
To describe the spectacular stylo
slam staged by our attractive young
Indies and beautiful matrons, given
under the auspices of the city Fedei -
at ion at the Pope Theater Monday
eventiiK would he to say it was one
of the most brilliant aflnlrn ever given
in our city. The costumes were fur-
nished and the entire expense of the
show met by our McKinney im r-
chants. -
Hrlnglng out <>1'i delightful home
talent, our beautiful women arid hand-
some mi 11, It was also vividly shown
that most of all our splendid mer-
chants carry a line <>t needs that would
well compete with our large neighbor-
ing cities.
Promptly at 8:16 the curtain was
lifted and Mayor H. A. Finch gave a
warm welcome, lauded the city lor
having merchants who were so enter
prising as to want a style show and ex.
pressed his appreciation in behalf of
the city of the excellent merchandise
which Is handled by our home people.

Mrs. Krwln Speak-.
Mrs. J. C. Krwln In behalf of th •
City Federation expressed tier appre-
ciation lo the merchants for the privil-
ege of presenting the style show and
spoke of the archway which 'will be
(partially) erected at the entrance of
our city by the means secured Horn
the show proceeds. The "Auctu.n
Block," presided over by Mr. Hay
Chapman was one of the main '.-at
urcs and how feelingly he sang <i
them "I'll Sell You A Olrl." He n-
oeived bids from the audience so
qulckl> that soon he found his •:i •!
had all been sold and he was left
without.
Mr. I'Jd Rhea and his "Fashionable
Sweethearts," In ihelr pvottv am
frocks were effective and spectacular.

Merchants Bear Kxpcnses.
Not one ct nt of the proceeds will go
to the merchants who bore every ex-
pense and the entire expense is ex-
pected to range between live hundred
and eight hundred dollars. The only
compensation the merchants expect Is
for our home people to remunerate
them with more home trade.
This style show is an initial one for
McKinney but was such a successful
one that we may expect others !n tho
future. Our merchants should feel
happier, the models better saflsfiel
with themselves, patrons more pleas-
ed with the merchants, out of 'own
shoppers disgusted with themselves

' Tom Howell on Shoes.
We always expect something great
from Tom C. Howell and In Ills little
talk on shoes, he kept his nudlnncr m
an uproar from beginning lo end. The
curtain was half drawn and before
him were shoea and hose on the lair

have been complete without him.
Miss Marguerite Krwln was delight-
ful In "Where My Caravan Has l.e-

new laurels on this occasion.
Miss iinu Sims In her own -itiliy
"Buy Here, B-iy N' w" song was a

storm of applause as she glided over
the floors.
