goods.
The season is On the wane. Closing out is The
order Of the day.
Among the most noticeable reductions are tht
closing ont prices Of summer costumes. In these
We see immense bargains. Dealers do not care to
have ready made clothing left over; for IA these
as many things of life. 1--WE know not what a sea
son may bring forth"
Fashion is to capricious TO hope the same COS.

Among the pretty costumes are those oil lawn

S6.sO-about whxt one would have to pay 70 get
one made. And these are by no means common
looking suits, but the same that cost Si2 and GA
at the commencement OF the season.
The same may be SAID Of light-colored French
cambr,cs, prettily made. which are selling ~ Low

Grenadines made over silk, can be worn late in
the season, and often utilized for party dresses.
consequently they do not tumble so early. Still,
there ID . slight reduction in them already
We are often found fault with regarding prices
that sometimes We quote one price, sometimes
another"
Prices huc tuate. Something new in trimming
NAV come up For instance The Persian gslloOn,
when it came out in the lighter qualities for sum-
mer wear Was sold rs low a. 81 cents; II went
slow, and some colors fell still lower, Suddenly
II became the rage. and everybody WAS rushing
around for eailoon 70 match their goods. Gslloon
took Q leap-the demand was greater than the
supply and to-day, ca cents % cents and 81 is
asked and received for the article and hard to tr
found at that.
The above is an example, and this is Why We do
NOT care to quote prices Of goods that are govern
ed solely by Fashions caprices.
Hats and b0nnets are alec among the reduced
goods. especially the ready -trimmed.
We sincerely hope they may all be sold out. and
the inventors ofheAd-gear may speedily pat their
wits ut work TO give Us something prettier in the
way Of hats than has befallen us this season.
The are no pretty shapes. The Danicheff is the
only pretty hat !; and the shape worn last year in
bonnets, with the raised brim and close at the
earn has taken better this than all the new
importafions put together.
Bunting in the pale tints-blue, cream and dove
gray-is largely sought after by ladies Who spend
the latter part Of July and through August at
some watering place.
We notice Q pretty one in a deeper shade than
cream-it might perhaps he called Pale tint OF

color for heading, with acorus Of dark blue. II

for il.
Linen costumes are also among the reduced
articles, and as these are valuable from year to
wear. the fashion changing hut little, it is safe to
buy them.
Calico wrappers, that usually sell for 81, ;O. are
down to IS cents But Why quote further Every
