Nothing stranger can
happen in dress-goods.
Lupin's daisy Cloth "
down from IS to 55 cents;
torty-one colors.
Lupin's Rayon d Or"
down from $I.25 to IS cents,
twenty colors.
Daisy Cloth is like a
Chudda, the lndia-sha wi
fabric; a dainty twill of soft
long-flbre wool, finely spun
and not too closely woven
never heavy, never light, but
with an airy softness in its
drapery that lends its easy
grace to common use as well
as to more luxurious dress.
Like the oriental Chudda, it
belongs to no time of year.
1t is fit to be as universal in
its use as Cashmere, the
other India fabric whose orr
gin is forgotten in our FAM
iliarity with it. Chudda and
Cashmere differ only a triflc
n the weaving. One is as
r.eavy or light as the other, as
durable or frail. Lupin's
Cashmere and Lupin s
Chudda or daisy Cloth
both, have the same title to
permanent acceptance, viz,
ancient origin in the native
land of the loom, and the
work of the greatest loom-
manager in the land of
modern textile wonders. We
IRE selling several grades of
.upin's Cashmeres ten cents
fellow value; this Daisy"
twenty!
"Rayon dor is the pop
lin weave; but poplin is harsh
and "Rayon dor is softer.
1t is about the same as the
wcll-known Empress. Made
by another it would have
been Empress. Made by
Lupin it is "Rayo n dor"
1t is heavy and strong and
fine. You will buy it for
double reason: its goodness
and the fifty cents you save
on every yard.
Very strong twilled
cheviot, black, quite heavy,
but not so heavy as it looks,
for it has considerable nap,
almost enough to hide the
twill, 42-inch, SO cents; at
any other time the price
would be 75-nobody gets
such stuff for less than IS.
South fiorn the centre
The finest Scotch ging-
hams and French sateens are
here. The ginghams have
come in force. Sateens have
begun to come. The two to.
gether fill very long coun-
ter. Whether for richness
and beauty or number of
styles there's nothing like
them; nor will there be. A
few of the same are in one or
two of the more exclusive
stores. The zephyrs are 40
and so cents; the sateens,
S71a and 50.
Northwest from the centre.
Muslins lower than ever
before, are going faster than
ever within our time; and
we imagine there never was
A faster time in dry-goods
than we have seen. The sale
OF Holly Tree muslin there
has reached seven-thousand-
fve-hundred yards a day.
The price will 60 up two
cents, when what we have is
{ me. We have lost a little
money-that's one way to
look at tin selling Holly
Tree at 8 cents. But isn't
every housewife within read
ing distance coming to see
the work of the Holly Tree
mill? muslin, cambric, per-
Gale, long-cloth and extra
muslin.
We have several hundred
different cottons, counting
makesand widths and grades
about all that are held in high
esteem here.
Northeast from the centre.
Best Ingram carpets at 90
cents, best Tapestry at IS,
inferior Tapestry at so,
best Velvet 81, inferior Vel
vet 90 cents, best fve-frame
Brussels at 81, Smyrna at
SI.I5, and best Moquette at
SI,25-such a list as that
was sure to bring out the
sharpest buyers,
We are selling more car
pets this week, when nobody
is thinking of carpets, than
even when everybody was
thinking of carpets.
