'THREE GUINEAS AND A HALF !- 1 At a time when the price of Umnanufactured Silks Is so high, and also is advancing, it will seem almost incredible that a RICH FRENCH SILK DRESS may be bad for Three Guineas and a Half ! It must, however, be admitted that this advantage is a very exclusive one. Messrs. Jay had the good fortune to make large purchases at Lyons during the late monetary crisis, and the Rich Silk Dresses at the prices maned above do not average more than half that which is usually charged for articles of a similar quality and design.
