Dear me, what exquisite laces. As delicate as gossamer and of such lovely designs. I profoundly admire fine laces, and am a fair judge of their qualities, especially handmade laces, and these in texture, designs and workmanship are as fine and beautiful as any I ever have seen. Here, too, is a display of embroidery, which is surpassingly lovely. I perceive that in their production gold, silver and silk threads in a great variety of colors are combined harmoniously and most artistically, and here are bands in which the flowers are simulated by minute stones closely imitating the natural blooms. Yes, frequently I have observed robes of both men and women bordered and trimmed with such embroidery, and--no, it does not make the men appear effeminate, quite the contrary. I cannot attempt a detailed description of this adjoining department, devoted to an endless array of articles for the toilet. Should I do so, certainly my Earth friends would laugh at such an exhibition of my vivid imagination. Quite as certainly I would not find fault with their incredulity. I, however, will say that I find here combs, brushes, manicure implements, perfumes, soaps and an endless array of articles whose uses I only can guess at. Could some of our Earth folk walk into this establishment, which they would term a department store, they, like myself, would find themselves amazed, not so much by the strangeness, as by the familiar appearance of a thousand and more articles. De L'Ester--Do not forget that in the universe there is but _One Mind_ which _must_ everywhere express itself harmoniously, and you will cease to marvel at many things. Ah, George is experimenting and Genessano looks on with curious interest. _Mon ami_, what are you attempting? George--I am trying to find out if any of these salespeople are Sensitives. Ah, my gentle sir, as you look about you seeking to learn who has spoken to you, your dreamy eyes are opening wide with surprise. Genessano, through Gentol[a:], address him. I fancy that he does not understand English. Gentola--Emano, r[a:]ûdoss[a:] illûm[a:] voi hû[a:]. Voiha istan finostû tsoin[a:]. George--He grows alarmed, but stands in an attitude of intense attention. Gentola--Oûna ûfan yoidas ēmano. Info oovistû.
