OXFORD STREET OPEN FOR BUSINESS
LONDON, Sept. 24. Slightly bewildered for several days after the Luftwaffe’s vicious bombing and blasting, Oxford Street, world-famous among women, has partially recovered its old allure. Several large stores are unable to reopen, but one has put two girls at a pavement desk in a side street to deal with inquiries. Many people came to see the damage in Oxford Street and remained to shop. Women do not have to go intc shops nowadays to finger materials appraisingly. When one big store in Oxford Street reopened, its windows were elegantly dressed, but customers pointing to models were surprised to find that the usual glass barrier was not there.
