LADIES' SALON (MEZZANINE FLOOB)
Every woman who considers hor appearance is fastidious about her underwear. These most intimate garments, are often even more love ly than the frocks which cover them, and on their cut and material hangs much of the success or non- success of the outer garments, ·
THE BERKEFELD FILTER.

We are particularly, lucky here in the East as silk is not the pro- hibitive price it is at Home, and the Chinese are particularly gifted in the art of fine embroidery.
