Almost every store in the down- 

 town district is showing some attempt 

 at fall decoration, and those who study 

 them will gain many ideas on how to

 how not to do, note the lack of varia- 

 tion, as 111 the Bower to each suit in 

 the men's clothing stores, and the 

 over-crowding of vines and flowers as 

 seen in the average department store 

 decoration.
