In considering tue choice Of presents for 8
lady friend, something to wear should
head the list, for no ODDS how well q lAdy,s

gentlemen. Almost any price will, however,

store where the eye 10 fairly bewildered by
This Is Brues & Golfers. These gentlemen
have an assortment OF fine lace collars,

cost to costly stpffs which would DO an appro-

fer's stock articles for oil Of them, aud then
fad himself longing for more friends to give
presents to, that his might have the pleasure
dreds OF other things he saw, and from which
he had chosen ut random.
AHASDY ARRANGEMENT.
Messrs. George Z. stiIel & Co., at lila Main
street. have slso an entrance from Market
street by way OF Durst'sc !nfectionery. Messrs.
stitel & Co. have made more special prepara-
tons, possibly, than any other house In
their line, to meet the demand for articles
suitable for the holiday times. Their stock
OF fancy and staple dress goods, aud notions
popular with those seeking presents is fresh
and complete. They also offer some special
inducements in cloaks and wraps which
these desiring such things should investigate
before making their purchases. Early visit
ors will find Il pleasant, as during the latter
part OF the day there is invariably rush
which cakes buying less pleatant.
FOR MARRIED FRIENDS.

In his own house, what could be more apprc.
pirate than some article OF both uss and

gree, can be found at the furniture store OF

store, which with Its Turing windows the
hanosomest in the city, is q perpetual ad-
