sewing machine advertised by Mrs. s. E. Jarvis
at lOl Bridge street, Is one Of the best we have
seen AZ her establishment may also be found
one OF the finest assortments Of worsted and fancy
goods in the District, embracing dress and cloak
trimmings, head dresses, gloves and gauntlets
and everything to be found In first-class store.
Washington ladies who intend to see for them
selves might find Ii to their advantage to give our
