Kxtraordinaiy exertion by news paper staffs in time of public disaster, under sense of obligation to serve up the facts as freshly and fully as possible, is a matter of course. Tint The State believes its complement of news-gatherers to be energetic, en terprising and self-sacrificing beyond the general.

Miller Rhoads She took the morning train . ' t to Richmond IT ARRIVED promptly at 9:45. Richmond! The name thrilled Helen to the heart. She almost ran down the ? . ear steps to the station platform and up the easy incline to the great marble concourse of Rroad Street Station! It was not her first visit, but Helen loved Richmond. She loved its beauty, its historical traditions and, most of all, its shops. With impulsive disregard for her conscience, Helen chose a taxi rather than the convenient street car that stopped directlv in front of the station. "Miller & Rhoads," she told the driver, with the air of one who knows exactly where to go in Richmond. In a moment Helen found herself at the entrance to the South's greatest department store. She did not go in di rectly. but walked (Completely around the store, for she loved to "window shop." It was the first time she had seen the windows in the new store, and they were perfectly beautiful with their displays of fashion's newest creations. Inside the store, her first step was to check her traveling bag. Then to a comfortable rest-room to telephone Louise to meet her on the fifth floor for luncheon. That done, Helen sought the elevators, and found them, centrally located, six in a row. each with its neatly uniformed and courteous attendant. Getting ofY at the second floor, she found herself right in the midst of the loveliest display of dresses she had ever laid eyes on These dresses were the kind she could not buy anywhere outside of Richmond, except, of course, in New York and places like that. There were satins and satin crepes, crepe de chines and novelty silks. Some were trimmed in laces in the newest ways, and there were the gayest 'summer colors too. Helen could hardly decide whether she liked the Peggy Paige frock of rose-gray crepe satin or the lovely girdled f roek of green silk crepe. She knew they were all the very latest word in style, for she had learned by expcricnce that Miller & Rhoads are not only Fashion Kight , bftt. Fashion First. She finally selected two dresses, one for afternoon and one for sport wear. . With a feeling of perfect satisfaction in her purchase, Helen looked fit her watch. It was twelve-thirty, and she had promised to meet Louise at twelve for lunch! (Helen is just one of the thousands of women, many of them from your own community, who do their shopping at Miller & Rhoads when in Richmond.) o R I C H M O N D, VA.
