We always make a point to
talk Children's things at this
time in the week. Natural-the
children have more time and
their wants can be supplied with
more deliberntion. Novelties
are arriving all the time, Mon
day aswell as Friday, but we be-
lieye Saturday to be "Childrens

deayor to drop few shopping
hints to parents aud guardians
on Fridays.
Fortunately for us-and you
as well-we'ye justreceived from
the custom-house an invoice Of
Partisan novelties for children.
Our own direct importation.
We opened them to-day. You
know no nation pays so much
regard to children's dress as the
French. You know no house
pays the same attention TO their
Children's stock as we do.
What deduction would you
make for this? Only one can
be made. Saks d Co. must
have everything there is for chill
dren that's worth having.
There's where you're right. If
you know OF anything that's
worth having and we haven't
got it, let us know. Wen get
it. We don't believe you can
think OF anything, however.
But to the point-anything
that the season suggests as ne
cessary to the comfort and APP
pearance OF your little sons
we've got. You can rely on
that. We've got it, too, at the
right price.
We've devoted one whole fioor
to the display OF the latest chill
dren's novelties. Look at them.
Come up to the second floor
and take them in your hands
examine them carefully. Let
us fit them on the boy. Well
