1t is refreshing to speak OF
a silk again by weight and to
know it is silk. The ooc is
as fine as the 1915.
But it isn't the silk of the
poor. There are silks of twice
the weight for the money.
We'd like to make it true if
we could that the poor can af-
ford to buy it. But there are
better things than fine silks
that they can have.
West Transept.
We don't believe it is safe
just now to buy a very cheap
wooden dress-stufl of any sort
what ever without consulting
the market-the market is very
shaky. And what we mean
by cheap is what we always
mean when we use that unfOr-
tunate wordsworth more than
its price. 1t isn't safe to buy
scarcely anything WOODEN, no
matter how cheap. without con
sulting the market.
Strictly speaking, staple
wooden stuffs are steady.
Everything else there's nothing
certain about. The storm
abounds in wooden dress-stuffs
slightly off from the staple
forms that have tumbleda quar-
ter, third or half, or more than
half. Why, the other day
there appeared an advertise
ment telling how fashionable
lace-cloths are. We have a
good one for 80 cents a yard
It might have been %homespun.
We,.haven't soldahomespunf for
for anything like its value for
weeks. 1t might have been
a canvas. We have in mind a
canvas for soc that held its own
for $I.25 all through the sea
son. And so all through the
stuffs not strictly staple as to
texture. Fashion is an imper-
ial mistress. She makes and
unmakes. If she but take her
eyes of a stuff for an instant,
down it goesl And yet nine.
tenths of you, ninety-nine hum
dredths of you, wear for
months the stuffs you pity for
having dropped in the store.
That is, the imperial mistress
hasn't so much to say about
what you actually wear
as we sometimes think !; but
she's terribly hard on a mer.
chant who has the stuffs she
smiled on.
AT every one of the WOODEN
d~ress-stuff counters, a k .

ever you seek, look out for
