stufts at this one counter, fine
cottons.
French sateens you know all
about. Our second supply has
come. That gives us again your
choice Of all the styles we had
to begin with. We cabled
promptly for those you took to
first. Some others also, for ex-
ample, little back figures on
white. The variety is full again,
but will not stay SO long.
American sateens, as near like
the French as we have theme
of making this side of the sea,
12H, IS and 25c. Ayard away
you can't tell where they are
made; but that we can say of
anything. The cotton itself is
not SO fine; and the spinning.
The printing follows hard after
the French.
Scotch, Anderson's s, ginghams
you know all about. They are
plenty yet. 4oc.
Crocodile cottons;spider-web,
wiry, crapy stuff at the bottom,
roughened by many devices of
texture and color; the founda-
ton of all the dull shades from
cream through ecru to dark
wood; the crapy texture inter
spersed with lace-work, stripes,
checks, loops, Jumps, humps,
with color illuminations; seer
suckerish-rough-dry them in
the sun-hner than any seer
sucker; very light and very
rough. Scotch. SOC.
Another similar Scotch irreg-
ular crazy one-color stuff with
clusters of kicky and lump and
smooth and bunchy stripes of
vareigated candle-wicking. Col
ors as dainty as the stuff itself
is uncouth-it would be un-
couth if it weren' t in the tip-top
of fashion-not all of dainty
colors; there are navy-blue,
brown, even black. TO COM
bine with these illuminations
there are crazy cottons, the
same without the variegatcd
wicking. Sold in combination;
both SOC.
Crazy spider-web wiry cot
tons printed with large figures,
cream ground, black and col
ored figures; American; I6c.
Plain open canvas with stri pes
of variegated bunchy candle
wicking; American; 25c.
Tennis stri pes as far removed
from tennis stripes of former
years as they can be; clusters
and sprinkles of stripes, quiet
and gorgeous, one or two-col-
ored and many-colored; all-cot-
ton, IS and SOC; cotton with
stripes of wool, CSC. Wide
enough for length of skirt, So
inch.
Batiste, fine, sheer, cream
with dainty figures printed in
colors, or blue or garnet with
white figures, Ioc. This is the
stuff that has largely taken the
place of printed linen lawn.
Tan batiste embroidered, S.
and 81 a dress-pattern.
Curl lawn-that's the name
it goes by-Turkish-towel stuff
of finer and lighter spinning
and woof; cream; 2oc.
Black mousseline d'Inde, fine
sheer, transparent, a perfect
black, 25c.
These are all the seasonable
finer cottons at that one coun-
ter, if we haven't skipped any.

Seersuckers, 5 to SOC a yard.
The 5 are coarse, one-color and
narrow. The SO are Scotch,
extravagant, only stripe of
Crinkle as one of the deCora-
tions; color and lace and wick
ing and seersucker.
The practical seersucker
dress-stuff is ISc yard. Toss
a handful of it up in the air.
See it almost float. It's the
ightness. the fneness, the GRIN
,kle, the hufhness- take it in
your hand.
We have it at IS; pretty but
not SO fluffy, cloudy, airy, GRIN
ky.
A counterful; long rows of
shelves full of nothing but seer
suckers.

We have Brussels carpets for
ST a yard. SO has every other
carpet-dealer. Why do we tell
of it then? Because there's a
difference.
! Brussels usedto be Brussels.
1t isn't any more. There's
Brussels and Brussels; just as
there's tapestry and tapestry
that's an old fact. You know
that Raxbury tapestry costs 81
we happen to have it for 75cl
