FELIX sale was going ahead with vigour when I looked in, and it would be waste of my time to des cribe any of the frocks and hats I saw, because they will probably be sold before you read this. Let me just say that there are still charming hats to be had for 36 and 26, and muslin and silk frocks for round about" 810.
I had a look in that very tempt. ing little shop which hangs out a sign of DOLLY VARDON the other day, and saw that some delightful evening frocks had been added to the bata. The magnet which drew me inside was made of very fine black tulle in bouffant style, with beautifully hand made red roses on shoulder, hip and skirt, An other pretty creation is in black chiffon trimmed with silver läce.
I noticed too, that the new seas son's felt hats had arrived. They lined the shelves in a rainbow of solt colours. The shapes are mostly amal and cleverly cat, some of thein are trimmed with a bow of their own felt, others have appli- cation of a different colour.
The remainder of the suminer stock of hats are being sold at quite ridiculously low prices
Although PoROOMULL's clearance asle is over, the very low prices which characterized it still seem to be in force. I saw some large Cantonese shawls worked over in a lovely design in Pekin stitch. for only $70. New goods arriving to-day were shoe.. brocades in all. colours and a wide range of new silka, all of which are marked very low.
