more extravagant, perhaps,
than any before. Mosaics Of
color; strings Of wool cocoons
piled up on cloth till the cloth
is out Of your mind, mohalr
streaming over extraordinary
serges, the widest scroll-work
that ever came out of loom Of
Damascus, silk plush and mac
rame network-too many to
think of-too unexpectable to
let you understand without
seeing.
1t will not do to send SAM
pies Of such. A little sample
doesn't show them. They are
costly. They are gone SO
quickly. Part of the value Of
them is the fact that few are
made, and very few reach this
part of the world.
What would this sober city
do without one store where
the pretty frivolities Of Paris
gather.
Southeast from the centre of the store.
Wool laces make the rough
ness offne dress-stufs rougher
and richer. They are creep
ing down from the higher
range of dressmaking-not
extravagant, all of them. Eco
nomical people even are find
ing a way to use them. Shall
we tell? Not every bright
silk beneath the meshes is
Southwest from tho centre.
Two or three thousand
yards a day Of Lupin's dark
color 5o-cent cashmeres are
going at 37H cents yard.
We had forty or fifty thousand
yards to begin with. When
they are gone they are gone.
No more SO long as the pres
ent tariff stands.

Warm winter skirts ready
made for rs cents to $3.50;
well made, with the proper
hang, pretty enough and dura-
bic. Never we're better pro-
! vided. Skirts that can't be
made for the money, one
. would think. 1t has happened
, twice now. Last year and this
year.
, Above $1.5o-we are not
: speaking of them-our skirts
: are good merchandise, prices
3 fair. Those from $Io to $40
! not here yet.

/ These enormous blankets
+ at about rs cents a pound in
Q a sense are the most luxurious
!, blanket you ever saw-so
5 thick and springy and light.
4 Spread out on the counter
e they seem too large; but tuck
I the edges under the sides of
! your bed-you may open
i your window in January
5 They are made by the very
I same mill right here in town
i that makes those "California"
blankets one of our neighbors
. IS SO delighted with-He
i doubtless thinks his blankets
. are made, as he says, in Cali
+ lornla-llo matter-the prices
I are California. They were
e sold by the mill to a Boston
!. lobber, then back again to
/ Philadelphia-they have trav-
+ eled almost far enough to be
o California blankets.
!, On the whole we'd rather
\ deal direct with the mill.
| See a pair Of these 7lb, 8lb,
Il Tolb, I2lb, I4lb blankets. See
! them spread out and folded.
. What a pile-35oo of them
Il Northwest corner Of the main building.
! Figured hannels that look
: SO little like flannel you won
a der what they can be, Two
. sorts; dull woven figures; gay
printed figures.
!. The woven-fgured Aannels
e are thick and stuffy, none of
!. them bright, but loose and
q soft and warm; all sorts of
a figures, 46-inch, $1.5o-for
t wrappers, both mems and
l. l. and women's jackets, ulsters
5 even, and children's dresses.
i The printed figures, like
n the gay sateens of three or
= four years ago, are gorgeous
n with MISUNDERSTANDING figures,
8 flowers as bright and many
|; colored as flowers can be, color
q e piled on color, brightness on
brightness. Among them one
is plain in the main, but heav-
+ + lily bordered with Beeonia
d leaves and Passion-Aowers in
2 a setting of vines. What
