taken the place of the common
ulster. 1t is essentially Plair
dolman reaching to the bottom
of the dress all around anc
gathered into the shape Of the
! neck beginning at the shoulders,
, atte' the Mother Hubbard fash
ior. The trimming is self and
MORE antique. There are many
shapes of sleeves and ways OF
putting in. In this and in the
various colors andteStures of the
cloths the variety chiefly consists.
1901 Chestnut.
White pon.ees are not scarce
here; though they are very
scarce in the wholesale market !;
ST and SIPS. Buff foulards, SO
cents. More buff pongees are
expected very soon.
Nest-outer circle, southeast from centre.
Black abatross, 40 inches wide.
SIX cents. Don't mistake this
for the Iupin's that we have
been selling lately at the same
price. This is 10 inches wider,
but not so fine. That was worth
90 cents this 50.
Black lace-buntinss at half
price, ~! cents; cotton-and-
wool.
Next-outrr circle. Chestnut-strrrt entrance.
French foule light, of uncom.
monty fine texture, and with a
twilIlike docskin; various colors;
4S-inch, SI.S5. Cadet blue of
even finer quality, SI.5o.
French all-wool armures of
canvas and tlne-cordpatterns. 90
and IS cents; t5-inch; all the
goodcolors, including cadetbluc.
Third circle, southeast from centre.
Ladies' underwear of both
sorts, American factory work
and French convent work. asks
to be looked at by those who still
make theirown, ,andby those who
buy at random. OF the French
all We need to say is that we
have a variety of chosen styles.
The French is pretty well made
generally. American we resu-
late, as if we made it ourselves.
1t is made just to our liking, IT,.
about as well as underwear can
be made; and justto yourlikins;
I. e., plain, notquite plain, a little
ornate, rather ornate and rich
with fine tuckingand embroidery.
But, whether plain or not, we in
sist that it is stTN made, and of
materials exactly suited to its
several grades. -
\ trade so useful, SO tributary
to your real interest, ought to
grow faster. We are doing Our
part well. WAf you look at the
sewing, the muslins, the cam
brics, the en- broidsriss. the
styles, the prices? =. *
West OF Chestnut street entrance.
Beautiful Swiss of a dozen
patterns has come at a time
when there's almost nothing new
in the outside market.
Half a-ycar ago we sent
sketches of thirteen patterns to
the makers at St. Call; and sowc
get the goods. In a few months
other merchants.will have them.
How shall We commend them
to you? There's a limit to effects
in white on this almost transpa-
rent white fabric. Patterns that
may be beautiful in a sketch, or
in goods having the aid of colors,
may turn out not at all satisfac-
tory in Swiss. SO one of these
thirteen appears to be a failure;
but we think ourselves fortunate
that so many as twelve arc beau
tiful.
The Swiss is. fine also. o5
cents a yard.
Nc1t-outcr circle. Cty-irsIl-sIuare entrance.
Mahogany and cherry bed
room suites have lately had the
attention that we believed they
would have, when we gathered
the remarkable collection of
them of the past few months.
Nearly every one on hand now
has come within a few weeks.
Most Of them are costly.
