How the def work goes on;
dainty bits of what not; a tip, a
plume, or a loop or bow here and
there; the hands fashioning almost
as fast as the brain ConceiveS the
fancy---and behold the result. Less
def but painstaking fingers have
done the tedious part; it takes the
artistes to give the effect. The
business has not grown up here like
a weed; it is the reward Of study
and cultivation. We may really
claim it an era in Richmond MILL
nery---this beehive of industry,
this temple of fashion, where you
have the choicest ideas of both
Continents before you; where you
get the chic or the staid; either
made precisely to suit your style,
incorporating an elegance too sadly
lacking in many millinery produc-
tons.

This bids fair to be the busiest
week of the season in the Carpet
Rooms. The lockers and buyers
were here in force yesterday.
There's reason for it, of course.
We haven't studied carpets twenty
years for nothing. We would be
writ down dull scholars If we hadn't
learned. And the learning stands
for this-We know what a carpet
should be; and what woods and
what dies are honest and makable
into honest goods. Choosing these
we select makers with country
wide-hardly safe to say world
wide, though the world has no bet
ter - reputation for perfection in
weaving the several lines. Our
orders are large enough to command
the best facilities; we are given the
choicest patterns to select from and
the results are here; yes, and on
the floors of a constantly widening
constituency.
Our guarantee goes along. We
make you safe.
New things for the week are
summarized thus:
Windsor DruGgets. oxiIa yards, sI5J4 yards.
Moquett Rugs.

pet the day you buy it-that is if

size and efficiency of the organiza-
ton.
