Watered ribbons will be much worn.” “FURS, having been bought in summer, are fully a fourth under present prices.” “SILKS.— More than usual attention has this season been given to this line. The Blacks, in particular, you will find are exceptionally good value. You may safely warrant every qqODS.-Bradford, London, Glasgow, &c., have been carefully gone through, where the best value and most suitable goods were secured wherever met with. You will find some very choice things amongst it.” “WINCEYS and SKIRTINGS. —Of these, Mr Ewing seems to have made some very large and satisfactory purchases in Aberdeen, Perth, &c. ; but upon these and other Goods purchased in his tour, he will no doubt make his own report.” “PAPER MODELS.—These life-size Models represent the very newest designs in Dresses, Mantles, Jackets, Tunics, &c., &c., made specially for you,” “FANCY GOODS. Everything new, pretty, and seasonable has been sent in Clouds, Scarfs, Gloves, Collarettes, Real Crochet, New Laces, Belts, Falls, Fair Nets and Rolls, &c., &c.. Clouds are as much worn as ever.
