The most rscently established is at present tho moat attractive, as woll as the best patronized department in Messrs.

Loesor largo storo on Fulton street. It is known as tho art department, and contains one of tho largest collections of rare and beautiful articles suitable for Chlstmas gifts that have over been shown in Brooklyn. This new department is in tho spacious npartmont Immediately below tho main floor where for many yoars toys for tho young folks have been displayed during tho holiday season. Now It is orowded with tho choicest productions from the art centers of Europe, which will be found worthy of inspection not only by connoisseurs but also by that still larger class of pooplo who ara interested in the embellishment of their homes. Thera are terra cotta figures and groups, which, for beauty of design and masterly execution, will rival tho celobratcd statuary that has mado tho namo of Rogers so famoUB.

The almost endloss varioty of articles in bisque, royal Dresdon, Saxon, Hungarian and LoodB ware form a combination of rich coloring and unique designt, that can only bo appreciated after a careful inspection. There are lamps, vasos, pitchers, candolabras, flower stands, plaques and sots of china and glass, so dolioato that an egg shell would appear coarso and clumsy in comparison, and there aro articles in bronzo and braBB, onriously fashioned, and all of them not only ornamental but useful as well. Tho Far East has also con tributod of its treasures to mako IhiB Art Department attractive. Tho storehouses and workshops of China and Japan have been ransacked for ourioiiB and beautiful vasos, baskets, boxes and traya, and ever bo many other artl oles, any ono of which would bo a very acceptable present to receive from ono'B friends oithor at Christinas or at any other Beason of tho year. Then there are cabinets and smoking tables of ebony, oak, walnut, mahogany, cherry wood and braes, and most likely of other materials, for amid no largo a collection it is quito possible to overlook many, and mora especially when tho last ono looked at appears to bo tho moat attractive.

Brass is there in abundance, and it is fashioned into all sorts of shapes and almost every conceivable article. There aro candiesticko, bells, ash receivers, pokers, umbrella stands, cano racks, bellows, onders, old fashioned log holders, plaques, vases and urns, and all of them glittering and scintillating and looking so bright and ao boU satisfied that tho very sight of them is enough to drive away a fit of the blues. No doubt many of the ladies thought what a cheorful oontrast those brasses would present when placed alongsido the conventional and muteliko stove that gives suoh a dispiriting air to so many homes. But it will not do to linger too long with the art department, for Looser Co. bavo also othor departments from which their patrons may Belect suitable articles for ChriBtmas glftB.

Not tho least attractive is that whoro tha fancy goods are kept. And hero again tho same difficulty 1b enoountored. What shall be selected when tho variety is so great and everything is beautiful in design and finish No doubt tho cost will solve tho problem, as there is a wide diversity of pieces in the fancy goods department, and no ono need go away without making a solection.

For the accommodation of the littlo folks the firm havo this year rented tho store.

No. THREE HUNDRED FULTON 8TBEET, almost directly opposite their main business establishment. It is filled with toys from tho windows to the coiling. French dolls as big as a threo year old child, with head and arms of blsquo, and kid bodies, wearing satin robeB out after Worth's latest patterns, greet tho passers by and move their heads in the friendliest sort of Btyle, aa though bockoning them to stop inside and look around at tho wonders tho storo contains. Those, it must bo understood, are tho aristooratio dolls.

They can do almost everything except eat, and for sevonty flvo dollars a littlo girl can bo made the proud and happy possessor of one of thoae wonderful combinations of art, mochanism and millinery. Ono cent is the minimnm prico for a doll, and the figures ascend to the height already mentioned as tho cost of the young lady in blue satin. There are hundreds of dolls and wagon loads of toys in that wonderful emporium. GirlB and boys and oven thoir fathers and mothers and big brothers and sistors can find omothing there lhat will interest and amuse them.
