Paris Novelties i'm Dress Stuffs
Fourth avenue and Tenth street.

SOME of the choicest of this seasons Paris novelties have
just reached us-most of them exclusive to us, and only one or
two dress patterns of a kind. Sometimes it pays to wait for
exClusveness-for this lot is the richest of the seasons importa-
tons, and will not stay here long, or we miss our guess.
these are mere hints-not descrptions-of some of these
new stuffs:
Bold serpentine Bayadere stripes of colored silk on fancy silk and wool
velour cords; beautiful combinations of black with electric blue, black with
cardinal, and black with navy blue. S3.5 a yard.
Next is silk and wool matelase, with cutie It beads inteYpered throughout
the weave; combinations of black with French blue, and black with orange.
81 a yard.
Shk-and-wool natease matte is in raised figures of black, with threads of
bright color cleaning underneath; combinations of black with orange, and
black with emerald green. $3.50 a yard.
One Of the most striking novelties is a silk wool stuff with fancy
Bayadere stripes in black, alternating with silk stripes in coos and black, form
ing checks that are oddly attractive; the combinations are black with Havana
brown, black with light heiotrope, black with coqueicot, and black with white.
s. a yard.
Shk-andwoo figured striped novelties have brght-colored silk threads
showing through the raised figure in the stripe combinations of black and.
coqueGcot, black and-cerse, black and gendarme. s.. 5oa yard.
Snk-and-wool Bayadere pisse velour is in very handsome raised black
and-helorope, or black-and-French blue. S. 50 a yard.

Bargains i'm Black Dress Goods

HERE is one of the trade paradoxes that you often run across
at Wanamakers.
Choice black stuffs to-day command better prices than any
other class of dress goods. Yet in the face of this, our ability
to take prompt advantage Of large opportunities enables us to-
day to put on sale the following choice imported black stuffs,
in most cases
At Half or Less
of the regular selling prices.
The goods are in popular fancy weaves, very rich and
elegant.
Mohair Crepe Figured GRANTEES.
In sixteen designs, the handsome raised figures that have always retained
their popularity, regularly S125 a yard, here 7c. a yard.

Household
Linens.

Household ALL that follows has
~ a solid claim upon the
Lihens. attention of every
housekeeper. Some of the prices are
actually less than one-half. Each is a
remarkable bargain.
Our linens, whether regular or bar
gains, are genuine flax-all flax. Tow
or cotton, or either mixed with honest
linen yarns, find no place in our stock.
This country has a few (Uery few) ideal
linen stocks. Our own is not out
ranked by any.
Remember that and read on.
FIRST. $50 Dinner Cloths of double damask
in large sizes.
Originally they were a special lot and priced
below value. To-day the prices are cut
in halt. The reason is that the napkins
to match are all sold and we cannot repeat
the patterns.
$40 sorts at S. IS sorts at 81
SO sorts at 50 IS sorts at $3.50
SECOND. 500 dozen Huckaback Towels of fine
quality, with handsome damask borders,
plain white only. Three Dollars 4 dozen,
or 25c. each. Less than present cost of i'm
portation.
THIRD. Closing a great stock enables US to
offer centre pieces, sideboard Scarfs and
doylies at less than half real values. They
are all hand-embroidered and very decora-
tive. This chance for bargains that will
charm is too rare to be repeated.

Pillow Cases and Sheets

ONE of the largest operations in the history of the muslin
trade brings to Wanamakers to-day a bargain of the first magni-
tude in %ready-made sheets and pillow cases.
There is one peculiar feature of this occasion. Special bargains in this
line are almost always in goods of little known and inferior grades. The
muslin of which these sheets and pillow caes arr made is Of two of the
bestkno~n makes and highest grades manufactured, commanding the highest
retail prices; and yet the saving is three and four cents each on pillow cases
and 8 Ito 10 cents each on sheets, from the lowest prices ever before made.
These prices Will continue until the present large stocks are exhausted.
The two brands OF muslin used are of equal quality but one is finer,
having one-fourtth more threads to the inch. The prices first given are on
the coarSer mSGn.
