THE RUINS OF POMPEII. On reading a vory interesting article on the above subject lately tho thought occurred : What a great disadvantage the ladies of that interesting and once beautiful city had to contend with compared with their more fortunate sisters of the Nineteenth Century. In those days it was only the rich who could afford to dress well. Now what a change has come o'er the scene. What a splendid choice of Drapery in placed within tho -reach of almost every one. You do not reauire to have a purse full of gold in these days of great competition to dross in becoming fashion. What is now needed ia great discrimination in choosing tho place whero you aro more likely to get the best value for your money. VVo place Zealandia Houae first on tho list a9 being in every way entitled to that position. Tuko for instance tho Dreas Department, It has begun well for the Wintor Season. It is now doing a big business, and without doubt it will have a most successful season. The causes that lead to this are groat care In •"looting the materials and olora, a determination to dispense with largo profits, and employing nono but competent hands in tho Dressmaking Department. VVo guaranteo a good fit, good work, and fashionably mado at prices that are often charged by less competent dressmjkcis. The display in f'ur Showroom at tho prosont timo, would fairly dazzle tho fair ladies of Pompeii rt hit a splendid lot of jacket*, all most reasonable in i>rico ; what a grand array of Trimmed Winter Hats and Bonnets, nothing to equal it in North Otago, and th,e nri es are within the reach of t very poison. Then wo havo a great variety of Boas, in it'iithrrs, gont, fox and li^ht and dark bear futs.
