and finished with lacing in lieu of buttons, with
broad collars. they are very handsome and be-

dampness are cork sOles, aud to ease the some
times irksome process OF getting on and of our
boots and shoes are shoe-horns and b~osljacks.
Gloves for driving and for dress occasions are kept
in great variety, and range from the strongest to
the most delicate in make and finish. Amongst
appliances for keeping garments IN Siia are the
Argosy braces, which, while they yield readily to
the most violent and sudden contoriions of the
human frame, never cause a necessary button to
leave its hold-they are invaluable. In hats for
gentlemen there is a choice selection. The po-
pular Derby-always neat and and
the more neg6gee soft felts are shown, together
with other shapes and kinds suitable to tall aud
short. old and young. Our young gentlemen can
