wood, and had driven some distance
towards town before a neighbor who
saw hire called his attention to the
tact that it was.Sunday..

Rio= ALso.—In compiling the an-
swers to the Family. Puzzle last week,
the Naw ERA unintentionally over-
looked the last one received. It was
handed in Wednesday, properly num-
bered, but happened to be overlooked
afterwards. It was from Miss Weir,
Bayfield road, and proved to be a cor-
rect solution also, but being the fifth
correct answer was too late to count
for a size. However, Miss Weir is
entitled to credit for the solution.

�',:
V. e've never been exactly satisfied with the position of
our stocks; Dress Goods have wanted more counter room:
the Millinery department was too small, too dark and too
public; staple goods and Men's Furnishings were always get-
ting... mixed; tweeds for Men's suits, and prints for ladies'
dresses often got piled together on the same counter. Now
it's going to be different, there'll be no tables to crowd the
centre of the store; the dress Goods take the long counter on
the north wall where the tweeds have been for years,,there
they'll have more room and better light than they'e ever had;
the staple goods such as prints, cottons, shaker flannels,linens
&c., go above the steps where the millinery has been; the
tweeds and men's furnishings go into the Rattenbury street
wing, where they will be by themselves and not get mixes=
with other stocks. The millinery makes the greatest change
of all, it goes up stairs at the front of the store where the
carpets now are; there we are going to have one of the light-
est, brightest and most convenient showrooms to be found
outside of the cities; you'll say so too when it's ready. The
carpets will be moved to the rear end of the upper flat where
they have j ast as much room and light as they now have.
We're making these changes because we think they're for
the better, because we think you'll find they make this a more
convenient place to shop in than it has ever been.
