for although she had not been able to

great deal of good.

Men are fond OF saying that their wives and
daughters waste time in "shopping." They
cannot understand why a lady should ever
enter Il store, except to purchase some article
which she absolutely needs. and they regard
the time as absolutely wasted which ladies
spend in passing from store to store and coun-
ter to counter. looking over goods which they
do not intend to buy, and asking prices for
things for which they have no immediate
need.
1t is to ladies who understand this art OF
shopping that this advertisement is addressed.
We want to remind them that they should
never regard a shopping tour as complete
without visit to our establishment at this
season especially, when so MANY articles are
needed for the approaching cold weather. 1t
is well for ladies to remember that in many
departments our prices arc habitually lower
for the same quality Of goods than can DO
found elsewhere in the city, whi.e in no case
do we allow ourselves to be undersold and
there will almost always be found In every
one of our departments some special lot Of
goods which we have secured at less tlran the
usual wholesale price, and can therefore afford
to sell extraordinarily cheap.

UNDERWEAR.
u Two extremes of the French handmade
underwear, lately come to us, attract notice.
Some of it is SO plain that 1t seems scarcely to
belong to the class of embroidered wOrk-it
reminds one rather OF the hand-wOrk we used
to make families here twenty-five years ago.
The other extreme is the richest OF embroidery.
1t needs to be seen. NobodyHl believe from
ness, the richness, the extravaganza. We
show 1t with pleasure.
At the same time see what the sewing ma
chine has done for us, in our American fac.
tory made underwear. Each has perfection
OF its own. Factory-work, mado as we get 1t,
Is q new grade OF sewing.
