impossible in her destination being
Brindisi and Oranto or at least she
might call there. If SO she would arrive
in less than twenty-four hours.
MY decision was taken, and waited.
Sure of being unseen in the darkness
kept myself in the steamers path. and
fortunately she slowed slightly rs she
gently rose and fell with the waves.

This only lasted for second or so.
Then l found her lines begin to curve in
for her stern, and ut the risk Of being
cut up by the screw l caught hold Of

ring TO which it hung. and there | sat
on the chain close TO the stern post and

thirst. The important thing for me was
that could not be seen from the deck
nor even from the boat hung by the stern
davits. Some vessel meeting us might,
il is true. see me and signal me. But
very few hips met us that day, and they
passed too tar off for them TO notice a
man hanging TO the rudder-chains.

Every time we take up our
pen to write about dress-stuffs
we think "What can we say Of
storeful of stuffs of every
sort and degree !"
1t was hard enough before
to pick out the news but this
fall there is everything here.
To mention any particular
dress-stuff seems to imply that
everything isn't here. When
wants are SO various how can
we expect to do anything bet
ter than say you will find what
ever you want at the proper
counter.
There's the question Of
prices. There are other stores.
They are not asleep. They are
between us and some of you.
They would like you to think
they sell things for less than
we. Now and then they pluck
up courage and do it. Lose
money very likely. But better
to lose a little money once in a
while, they think, than to lose
their hold on you altogether
So once in a while they beat
us. Not very often or long
Costs money. Cheaper tc

You can't always tell who i;
beating by what you read ir
thepapers. So, perhaps, there
no better way than to shop anc
keep shopping.
You know the old cry tina
we were underselling every
body. Trade was good for
nothing. Philadelphia gone t.

defense to say 1--WE do not un
