fits and furnish their house, they can do so
in New York at a very reasonable
figure. 1t may require considerable run
ming around and a couple of weeks of
time, but the money thus saved is money
earned.
Let the Young lady, for example, go to
some good store, and she may purchase her
own clothing at a figure that would make
the girls who dote on trOSseauX from Paris
laugh for week. Her linen may be bought
readymade, and if plain, it can be trimmed
with laces that some of the stores are so
anxious to get rid of at half price. SILK
hosiery may be found on the bargain coun-
ter at '75c. per pair. Well made and SER
viceable boots at 81 So pair of house

The minister will tie the knot for ST. The
usual fee is So but the ministers recognize
the fact that they have got to treat bargain
hunters in a bargain hunters way
Then hire a cosy fiat of five rooms In a

These figures are obtained from a variety
of sources on a bargain day, and are al
| least one-third below the actual value of the
articles mentioned. The goods are all first
class and will wear well. OF course if the
| young bridegroom is possessed of money he
| may furnish his house in very elaborate
way. Better articles may be had from the
same stores at prices ranging the same, thai
| is one-third below the actual value, and il
| the young man should 50 desire he may get
his own wardrobe and furnish his house fol
| considerably less than the figures given
above In a sentence, he may suit himself
and do as he pleases. One can live in New
York at the rate of 500, 900 year, or $500
And when the struggle for bread is over,
and the young man or woman dies, if neces
sary they can be buried very cheaply. An
Eighth avenue undertaken few days ago,
displayed this sign;
