AT THE LADIES' STORE.
Preparatory to the beginning of Fall busi-
ness and the opening of the Dressmaking
Department (which will begin work under
Miss Slade's direction the first week of Sep-
tember) we have gathered an unusually
beautiful collection of Dress Fabrics and
Trimmings, including all the things that
have received Fashion's stamp of approval,
Paris and New Yot k. The new stocks
include goods of every grade, and an extra
effort has been made to secure for customers
the choicest values in Staples and Fancy
Fabrics from inexpensive good to the high-
est price nor el'l11es.
