Charles II. and his Queen.

The garb Of ROYALTY two hundred years ago was
strange indeedl Even in Our own times the changes
in dress from season TO season are many and marked,
Dame Fashion is such 4 tickle Goddess that it be-
hooves every one in buying their clothing to get the
newest and best things afforded by the leading mar
Ects of the world.
Mail shopping presents an easy and practical way
OF so doing. 1t places the brilliant and varied as
sentiments of large city merchants at the very doors
Of those who live in small towns and ~by-places. 1t
secures for them better goods, better styles. better
satisfaction and lower prices than possible i'll any
other way.
Mail shopping is not an experiment. Its success
is an accepted fact. 1t is rarely that a person who
has once given it Il trial fails TO continue to buy in
that way. Such, at least, is our experience with the
thousands and tens of thousands who yearly add their
names to our list of customers.
One reason why this branch of our business has
proven SO successful, is that people, in sending to us,
risk nothing. They get in advance from our Illus
tratcd Catalogue an accurate idea of the style, quality,
appearance and price of whatever they order. If the
goods sent them are not in accordance herewith, they
eaR be returned az err expense, and the money re-
JuuHsG. Thus, customers have everything to gain;
nothing to lose.
