Dresses and Dressmaking — Tlio dioicc of a Dross, and the choice of a .Dressmaker, arc two important matters that are more or less receiving the consideration of the Ladies. A good inimv have already settled the matter satisfactorily, for they have come to the DON MARCHE. ' DRESS FABRICS. The selection of Summer Dress Fabrics at the Ron Marche was never hotter—wo believe wo are showing every meritorious weave, and every fashionable colour. There is a big range of Silks, including all the favourites, such as Shantung, Tussore, Japanese, San Toy, Messaline, etc. The Voiles are lovelier than over, and the now patterns expressed in the new colours are very effective. The Muslins are decidedly dainty, and fortunate is the lady who can wear a white muslin frock. THE NOVELTY ROBES are dreams of loveliness, and wo venture the prediction that many of the prettiest gowns at the Show will emanate from the RON MARCHE. These robes are exclusive, no two alike, and the new colours in which they are presented are positively bewitching. THE BON MARCHE’S DRESSMAKING is remarkable for its artistic completeness, and for that touch of style and individuality that are longed ior by the Ladies. No. 1 WORKROOM continues under the control of Mrs. McDonald, whoso achievements have secured for her the patronage of the smart and fashionable set. No. 2 WORKROOM is managed by Miss Gann, who has amply demonstrated her ability to please and satisfy customers. Orders fur Show Dresses must be placed immediately if prompt delivery is required. C.
