Special attention has ben given the reserved cloak rooms, where are shown the elegant Imported wraps and cloaks. The manager of the cloak department in one of the finer dry goods houses said the other day that znany of his best customers never asked the price of a garment. If the quality and style suited, the garment was ordered, and frequently the price was not known to the customer until the bill was sent to her a month later. Many of the garments shown in these rooms are Imported from Paris, and it is not at all unusual for a customer to pay $600 or even $1000 for a single evening wrap.
