Bargains in Necessities.
1t will be observed that so many at
tractive offerings are to be made that
the equally purchase-compeiling offer
ings in many other departments are
crowded out. No mention is made CT

many worth retelling that it is be-
wildering to specify. After reading

stacks, and fine enough for any
princess, have been prepared for the
bargain reaper.
