PHILADELPHIA.
WEDNESDAY,:
PHILADELPHIA.

Shoulder-capes are by no mean!
limited to light wraps of chenille
; and lace; many are of silk, ane
even of so heavy material as
Sicilian cloth, made heavier still
j with a burden of beads. They
, are fitted loosely around jus,
below the point of the shoulder;
and end in a nearly horizontal
line. $3.50 to IS.
Nantes as they are nowmade
are as easy and tasteful a wrap
as could we'll be devised; a sort
of ready draped lightshawl,more
or less disguised with decora-
ton. For length they are mid
way between cape and dolman;
but as to outline there is no
rule. $3.50 to 40.
Dolmans are notnew; and yet
they are so various, and their
aspect depends so much on
trimmings, that they are by no
means wanting in the appear
ance of newness. All the lighter
wrap fabrics, especially silk, are
exhausted in making them: and
the decoration is often extreme.
$3.50 to S125. Elaborate dol
mans reaching to the bottom of
the dress, $40 to 500.
1901 Chestnut.
We are draping India and
Persian shawls tomake dolmans,
without cutting the shawls.
Samples may be seen.
1908 Chestnut,
Milliners' grain, a heavy
looking silk with cotton cord,
made for bonnet work, $I.25;
has the appearance OF a silk OF
double the value, and is even
better for it's use. Every color
in favor.
Milliners' silks, satins and
velvets, cut bias or across. The
stock is voluminous; scarcely
anything wanting that is likely
to be called for.
Remnants of all sorts of silks
are sold at this counter.
Thirteenth-street entrance.
Lupin's 6o-cent albatross at
37H cents is fast going; black
is gone. Rarely do such sta
pie goods get much below value
in the midst of their season. OF
course it is great good fortune
to us to come upon such 4 bo-
nanza; for it brings to us the
trade of every buyer ofsuch, who
happens to read the news of it.
Nextouter circle, Thirteenth street entrance
The all-wool flannel, of which
we have 1900 yards, will make
many a handsome seaside and
mountain dress. Nobody will
suspect it of being a IS cent
flannel.
Outer circle, northeast from centre.
Fine white goods and en-
broideries are difficult goods to
give news of. Both are contin-
ually coming and going. In the
former new things are rare; but
whatever is new comes hithcr at
once. Embroideries are new all
the time. The season brings it's
new patterns but, not content
with them, we make other COM
binations; especially leaving out
Of and adding to. the designs of
the makers.
Third and fourth circles, City-hal,-s1uare en-
trance.
Furniture for hotels and cot
tages is making considerable
drafts on our resources but we
never let a large job interfere
with a little one. Almost all our
planning is for the little jobs.
West gallery.
Mating at 81 roll goes as
fast as any we have. 1t is of
short measure, about 80 yards;
not very good, not so good
within as for three or four yards
on the outside of the roll-thc
Chinee will bear watching. But
10 cents yard is very, very
little. On the whole we'd like
to have more of it.
But we have all grades up to
nearly 81 yard; and these
widths, 81, Is, ,1,IA,1H yards.
