Some of them are1 soldiers that returned weeks ago, who are visiting the city to add to the ovation that Phila? delphia offers to all the soldiers of the. State. Therefore, be it known that we will open the 'Store from two to five to extend our hospitality to the out-of-town people principally. There will be no goods sold under any circumstances. The two bands of our Military Organization will add to the music of the great organ, and the Grand Court will probably ring with the voices of all who care to sing the favorite songs of the soldiers and the noble hymns that they like. It will be necessary to notice that there will be iuily two entrances to the Store, one at the corner of Juniper and Market Streets. The people will pass through the West Aisle to Chestnut Street, and if they choose, may use the other entrance at Thirteenth and Chestnut Streets, and follow the .East Aisle, which empties at Thirteenth and Market. jWhen the Store is full, the doors will be closed until .Jt empties in part and there is room again. If the people entering the Store will keep moving, we shall be able to accommodate perhaps $00,000 people, who will enjoy their visit the more for the privilege that we offer. The Grand Stand erected on Market Street .contains less than a thousand seats, none of which has been sold, nor will any be sold. They have been reserved for the mothers of boys of the Store who have gone to war, and these can have every seat, if necessary, without pay. Colonel Win. R. Scott, the head of our military organization, has entire charge of these scats. May 1, 1010. ' "l GOME very beautiful Hudson Bay - sable neckpieces have just come into the Fur Salon.
