SPRING OPENING.

AS per announcement and invi

Saunders had his Spring Opening
on Wednesday ast,and all through
the day and into the night people
visited his fhace of business and
enjoyed the artistic display of new
and handsome goods.
Mr.. Saunders met his visitors in
person at the door, whence they
were escorted back along the line OF
counters completely covered with
what seemed to be every magma,

After an inspection Of everything

of display.

in striking harmony of color, while
supporting pillars were ribbon
festO0ncd in every hue and tint of
the rainbow. Windows, doors and
mirrors were draped i'll curtains of
heaviest lace, while behind the
plate glass eases bonnets and hats
in endless variety gave notice of
the new seasons styles. The silks.
satins, vclvets and laces had been
brought into this room, where, ar.
ranged on tables, their blending of
colors gave additional harmony to
the whole.
Everything that went to adorn
the room, from the mating on the
floor to the curtains OH the win
dows, were samples Of goods the
proprietor keeps in stock. The
display remains undisturbed for a
few days, as Indictment weather
kept many ladies out of town at
home.

sometimes foolishly so. 1 am, how
evei willing to acknowledge merit

it is necessary to add plioSphates
to the baking powder to restore to

When this has been done the per-
