the leading emporiums OF the city, and
anything you. may buy, no matter

and Mr.. Dimonds himself has a pleasant

O delight to be fitted to a glove at this
house. Gloves are particular Christmas
Joy and they are wonderfully inexpensive
this year. The Louvre Company COM

The Public Market.
The enterprising Public Market is
again gay in the decoration that goes to
make up the Christmas feast. No city
can boast OF better markets than Provi-
dence and there are no better markets any
where than the big esta ablishment known
as the Providence Public Market. The
Christmas attractions are unparalleled,
and the stock and variety are amazingly
big. They can furnish the Christmas
dinner complete. Poultry, by happy
dispensation, is cheaper today than beef
or other kinds of meats. And 1t is good
poultry, too. The Public Market handles
tons OF it every day and furnish much Of
the town with much good eating.

your friends wouldn't care to have given
them.
Flint & Company have everything that
make home comfortable with or without
steam heat, and its all cheap SO far as the
money asked for is concerned. They ad-
here closely TO what the secretary OF the
treasury would call "price wonders" For
instance there are beautiful chenille cur
tains, three yards long, with fringe at top
and bottom which only cost s2.19 per pair,
6x4 chenille table covera for only
nine cents over half dollar, four thou
sand yards OF China silk at go cents yard,
and so on almost ad infinitum. Just think
OF that, 1000 yards of beautiful, simmer
ing China silk-that is nearly two miles.
But these thing are all in one department,
that OF the upholstery, which is only a
small part OF the big emporium.
Take the elevator and 60 up stairs or

cases and easy chairs, couches and hall
stands and handsome novelties in every
