WHEN Mrs. EVE first started the fashion of wearing the hair down the back, she didn't think her daughters would adopt the same stylo so many hundreds of years afterwards. " Perhaps" hadshe been alive now my 3d Frizettes would have been patronised by her, anyway her daughters patronise them. Then I have such a lovely fresh lot of Ohignons from 2d to Is, and am not likely to be able to get any more at the same price, so don't bo the same as some ladies are, always behind. I have reduced the Ladies and Maid's White Ball ■Boots to 2s 6d ; Fingering Wool, 3d and 4d a hank: Berlin Wool, beautiful colours, 4d a doz; isiiis Mushroom Straw Hats, 4d; black Rustic do, fid; superior do, 9d ; Ladies do. Is 3d ; Boy's do, la; Men's Felt Hats, 2s 6d; Men's Silk and Satin Scarves, such beauties, Is. The party I bought them of says ho loses £50 on the lot, and I beliove him. Tell your wives to buy you one. home people takoflve and six. Lace Cambric Kaudkerchiefs, for balls, parties. &c., Is Gd. They make you ladiea look so bewitching when you hold them in your hands, riie loss to the merchant I bought them of is truly awful. They are going fast, like the Muffs went, so don't blanie me when they are all gone. Ladies' Ulster Cloaks, 12s; B'.ack or Red Llama Shawls, 7s: Saxony Scarf Shawls, 10s; 200-yard reels of Black Glazed Cotton (please to remember the pries), Id each, or lOd a dozen ; 50-yard reels of Black and White ditto, 2 a penny, or did a tioz.; Liaen Machine Thread, 6d, Bd, and lOd a reel. It is good, and you cannot buy it anywhere else at anything like the money. I am now selling a lot of pretty Ribbon very cheap. Good stout Flannel, Is 6d a yard; Evans's Boa's Head Cro chet Cotton, 2Jrdareel; Clark's ditto, 2hd a hank. What would they think in London if you were to tell them I am soiling beautiful Black Silk Hata (which only want a bit of fur to make them rink hats), at 6d each. I should think they cost some one about 2s each. No wonder tl. policeman eaiuo into my shop and looked round without buying anything. Ladies, I hear you don't "always" do as your husbands tell you; however, X expect many of you " to do as J tell you," and that is wear my warm Crinolines at is lid. Of course, I don't mean always, but when you havo a dirty job to do, or a dirty road to travel, &c. They are also tfrst-rato for those living in the bush. I have sold about 30 dozen already. Some people, I beliovo, tuko Mio wires out and make petticoats of thorn. There are a lew very tiny ones v.i 3d each, which will do for dolls or children. I bog your pardon ladies, I should have said children or dolls, but you cant expect any better from tin old bachelor. I must now tell you I have bought over -JO dozen more I DroBS Improvers lately, 3d and 6d each. Some of the sixpenny ones havo been patronised by the Princess Beatrice, but she didn't buy them of mo. and. therefore, paid a groat deal more for them. I have some niutlo of leather, some of muslin, some of straw, and some of cork, and pretty ones they aro too. I may as well remind the ladies that, cork lioats on the water, in cato they shoud happen to fall into it. I have Crino lines and Dress Improvers combined for 9d. The ladies had bettor como and look at the variety of Fresh Hatand Hair Ornaments I havo just bought an immonso quantity of, ar.d utn selling at 6d and 9d each. 1 havo a nice lot of Alurk'-ting Kits, both useful and ornamental, from Gel to Is ouch; fresh lot o£ Children's iiouts very cheap ; Machine Silk, dillerent colours, l}d a reel, or Is 3d a dozen; Hair Brushes, la 3d and Is 9d ; Is Rack Combs i'or Id ; Suite Pencils, 8 a penny, or 9d a hundred ; handsome Le::d .Pen cils Id. or Ud a dozen ; Barry's Triconlierous, 13 (id; Bolloway's Fills, la 2d: Black Tubular Braid, 30 yards for Is; Coloured ditto. 3G yards iior Is (!;;; No. Ho Black Braid, Is Gd tuo 3 dozen ; Russian Bindiug, Cd a dozen yards.

My Ladieu' Ja<-keta are going well at 3s to 6s, so don't be too late, and remem ber we are likely to havo any amount oil coid weather yet. Beforo I forget it, I wi«h to apologise to those ladies who havo boon unable I to yet served on account of the crowded state of Imy shop, and am glad to infoun them that I shall now keep four assistants instead Of throe. Twelve momhs ago I only had employment for ono, so I have aljo to thank tUe ladies for their increased patronage. What should I do without tlio lariio*;, nnd what would the ludies do without me. The ladies :uight do without their husbands, because there are more to be got, but they are not likely to get another Dampiku. Kiuk Collars, Gd, and a great variety of other sorts at the same price, and they are beautiful and no mistake. Just show your husbands one, and see if it doesn't rmike them wish they were ladies. The proper prico of Key Rit>K3 is Id each, and yet I am selling beautiful bright ones at 2d a dozen. Is'nt that another wonderful thing. Can I wonder if people think I steal my goods. Tasso Trimming, 2d a yard; largo Black Dress Buttons, id ii dozen; smaller do, 2d ; Crochet Hooks, -Id a dozen. Too Peanuts are very nice, and now going fast at id a 1b : Men.-, handsome vV hitc Linen Shirt Fronts, (id each ; Pupsr do., liia doz; Ladies Bonnets (Velvet), 2a; Velvet Haty, t'immed, 2s.

Clark's extra quality Machine Cotton, lkl a reel, or Is -id a dozen. People who use Lilian Machine Thread seem to be a very stupid clius oil p. oplu, or they would'nt pay Is Cd a r«ul tor it when they can buy even No. 70 aud 80 oil" mo for 10d, and SUand-iOfor Gd. When >oti gut a wifo (I am speaking to the young men now), get a wife thut is clever at buying one that "won't do as hundreds of women are doing at the present tirno paying 3f alb. £ov Knitting Cotton when I am selling Alexander's oven at Is9d al>>.

Ta'nt it wonderful. 1 beliovo there are j some ladies who do not como t& my shop becauso they think it cannot be true that I sell lat the prices I name. Now, ladies, lam going to tell you a secret; you need not let it go any further; it is about my wonderful 2s Tea. Why is it I sell such wonderful Tea at 2s? The reason I do it is, wherever people get extra good Tea for their mouey they come often, and every time they come to mo for Toil, they sco something fresh, and therefore; buy other things beside the-jTea. What a pricu sonic ladies pay for Hand Mirrors, and 1 am selling such beauties at 2s Gd ; square Looking Glasses. Id. Come and look at the large bottles of Hair Oil I am seliing at 6d, and which lots of people in Auckland are naming lrf for elsewhere.
