Our assortment Of Linen Handkerchlcfs
is the most extensive ever exhibited In
Washington. Designs in all colors and
styles to suit all tastes, and we give the best
quality of linen and full size Handkerchief
at the lowest prices ever our good fortune
to offer. A special lot Of pure linen Hand
kcrChiefs at two for 25c are n marvel of
chcapness, and those at Pc each have fancy
borders that are usually only seen in SOC
Handkerchief. One lotat 25c have tandem
brOidered initials, same quality as sold last
year for soc. Specially attractive llandker-
chiefs are those with white grounds and
colOrcd horses heads, horseshoes, caps,
whips, &C., with fancy borders to match.
Fine linen, full size, very stylish, and only
35c each.
SILK HANDKERCHIEFS never were
more popular; they now being low in price,
and Of course very durable and attractive IN
appearance. For iSc we show full size pure
China silk Handkcrchicfs, fancy color 81
borders. Twelve months ago we could not
retail this quality under 15c each. We have
combination colored SILK Handkerchief,
such as ecru ground and blue hcmsttched
border; they are new, finest quality silk, and
only 75c each. Then we have two lots OF
plain white China silk Handkerchiefs, in the
best quality silk imported. We only ask ii
and Gsc each, but would remind you that
they are not to be purchased elsewhere under
81 and 81 80, and we can prove IL. We also
claim that our Japanese silk lIandkerchiefs,
with Northumberland borders, at Sl.GS, arc
lower in price than the same quality can be
bought elsewhere. Gentlemen are requested
to examine our new stock of handkerchief
without reference to purchase.

LADIES'.

Nearly all ladies are aware that the Palais
Royal Is noted for variety and cheapness of
Hand korchiefs, but our oldest and most en-
thusi ustic patrons will be surprised 1--WE sur
pris c ourselvcs) at the endless variety aud
the remarkably low prices of the new stock
of fall STYLES in IIandkerchiefs.
In LINEN HANDKERCIIIEFS we come
to the front with $50 dozen of warranted
pure Linen Handkerchief, with fancy col
ored hcmstitched borders, at l2lc each. We
have always kept Iiandkcrchiefs ut l2lc, SO
have our competitors; but never in our his
tory, aud never In the record OF competing
merchants, have there been offered such
styles, such quality, such quantity. This
would he idle talk, and worse than useless,
IL we could not substantiate what we say,
and we are not such fools as not to know II.
We do know, and we do claim the largest
stock, the most variety, and the best quality
Handkerchicfs for 12lc in Washington city.
Our sheer Linen Handkerchief at 1yc are as
good quality as those we have sold previously
for 25c. We have the hcrring-bone hem
stitched borders in plain white; also colOred
borders in quaint Egyptian designs, aud
some with wiGe COlorcd borders in comblna-
ton colors, which are new and pleasing to
the eye, and, being the sheerest linen,
equally pleasing to the nose. For 25c we
surpass ourselves-all previous exhibitions
are nowhere. We have ~ different designs

for 80 and 4sc. One style, particularly stri-
ing, is the "Neapolitan," being combina-
tiOn Of colors, such as pink and white, blue
and white, ecru and white; each quarter of
the Handkerchief being different color.
Another pretty style is a Handkerchief with
n big black star or square in the center, and
with hcmstltched border to match. We also
have Initial IIandkerchiefs, genuine hand
embroidered, for 25c. Space will not admit,
nor will our ability suffice to describe the
wondrous, mprehensible, mathematical,
geometrlcal floral, and other styles of fancy
colored borders, which are shown in our 25c
Handkerchefs. We forgot to mention plain
white Handkerchief at 25c. We have them
with raised tucked borders, double hem
stitched, dice pattern, and various other
styles of borders. OF course we have Hand
kcrchiefs at 3d. IS, 6s, 10, Csc, 81 LES, $l.5O,
Sl.6S, and Sl.9S; but, as You see we have no
space for description however, we can and
do respectfully request you to Inspect our
new stock. Please don't fail to ask to see
our China sill, IIandkerchiefs at SOC. We
have them in white, pink, blue, and cardinal.
They are bargain, indeed.

Dress Goods.
Novelties in Dress Goods
usually take first rank, and
justly so, for this season they
are simply superb. AS more
than a majority of these fab
RIGS are in Boucle effects
(boucle, pronounced boo.clay)
we give the following descrip-
ton of the goods: Boucle is
a French word, and means
curled or kinked. The warp
is of two threads, one form
ing the body of the goods,
with the filling, and the other
is of curled or kinked strands,
which stand out from the sur
face in little woolly circlets,
giving the goods an all-over
"nappy" effect. In some col
ors are carelesslyinterwoven,
producing, almost imper-
ceptibly, narrow stripes and
little blocks. Some are more
decided, and some are Of
wide stripes, forming a bor-
der which is used for the
trimming.
Another novelty is a Chen
lille Embroidered Figure on a
smooth surface, the figures
being quite wide apart, and
is a shading Of two or more
contrasting colors, producing
a decidedly harmonious effect
and is considered quite re-
cherche. These are in Comb
nation Dress Patterns of S
yards each.
Plain Camels' Hair Serges,
with wide colored boucle bor-
ders, in the prevailing fall
shades and colorings.
Fine Casimir Cloths, with
elegant chenille embroidered
set figures in shaded effects,
in b r ONE c, myrtle, Havana,
dregs Of wine, seal brown,
garnet, and navy blue.
The beauty of the new
goods this season lies in the
fact that seen at a distance of
twenty yards they pass for
one color, while as high as
TIL re e, four, and five are
woven therein, and only no.
ticeable at close quarters.
