Desiring to show a very great increase Of sales in No
vember over those of the same month last year, I have
made prices so tempting for good merchandise that you
will hasten to buy your winters supplies at once. 1t is
unwise to put of buying, for two reasons-cold weather
may come suddenly and find you unprePared, and the
savings I offer during this sale are too great to be neg
lected. Having bought heavily in all grades and styles,
can furnish any style or quality wanted in Underwear
and Hosiery. IA

Perhaps never in our remembrance have such condi-
tons prevailed in the cotton market as confront us just
now. But anticipating these to a large extent we pre-
pared by buying more heavily than ever before in staple
goods. Consequently we can name prices as low or
lower than those for which the same qualities could be
placed on the shelves at the present time.
/ would earnestly advise prudent house wives to antici-
pate their needs for the future, by purchasing these
goods and laying them away, if not required for use just
now. Your savings will amount to more than any
bank could pay you in way n
of interest. NzS~ z<DD4Sm/

American women I'm Canada.

Speaking OF jealousy between the two
countries reminds me Of a little discomfort
which 1 discovered among our American
women in Winnipeg. They claim, so 1 am
told, that they have not been received
quite as well as they should be. Indeed,
It Is said that the fair Winnipegger, bank
ing upon the blue blood Of the British
empire, thinks herself somewhat better
than our American princesses. even though
the latter be the daughters of money
kings. Indeed, there is what might be
called an American colony in Winnipeg
whose members flock by themselves and
who, in many cases. feel that they are
unwelcome among the fashionable 400 OF
the pure Canadians. This American col
ony is rapidly growing and the male mem
bers OF 1t are among the chief men of the
city. They have already q high financial
standing, and In the coming development
will probably hold their place among the
richest men OF the west. Their wives are
well educated and are fully the equals OF
the Condolences.
In the other cities OF western Canada
the women OF the two nations are more
closely associated and the Americans are
even more popular than the English. The
fashions here come from the United States
and the home life OF the people Is about
the same. Nearly every town has its
womens clubs OF a literary and social
nature and many have clubs for golf and
other sports.
