SALE OF LADIES' BLOUSES SENSATIONAL BARGAINS AT THE MELBOURNE. We sometimes tell the "why" of a bargain— tell it in few words. * For example, an English blouse manufacturer oll'eml his complete range of spring un.l • Slimmer samples to our buyer at a discount o'f 25 per cent. Our buyer declined, but a few days Inter made a sporting offer to .take ■ the lots at 33 1-3 per cent. off. We got them. Now you have heard a lot lately about 33 I-3rd discount; just see how it woiks out iu this lustauce. SupppKln o, for the sake of argument, that the maker's price for a blouse was as. This, less 33 1-3 per cent., brings the Home price down to 3s 4d. Now add to this our landing charges of 40 per cent., and the manufacturer's 5s blouse in Eixdaml lands here in our store for 4s Bd. After putting on our usual small working profit we arc thus able to sell at practically what was the maker's original price io the wholesale. You will wc that 'job" discount like this from a mak< ;; quite a different "horse" from a job discount Irom a warehouseman. ;; e 3' OU all this because we think there is no better way to advertise these ladies houses than to explain how We bought them. Common sense "J 6tlow you that you arc goiii" to make a saving of 50 to 100 per cent. Jhe lot comprises linens, striped and fancr crashes, delamos, honsaeks silk muslins, Indian linens, voiles all-ovr white embroidered, etc., and all have f n il are 'i H any nre trimnlC(l with latest f } i, s ' aml som " ,u> ™ tucked fmiits. The new fishmouth sleeve and fnncv tics and tassels are much in evidence. Prices are Is Od to 8s #d. Sale is for seven days only.—Advt.

Lr ' ar as ft jury is concerned," said Mr. Myers addressing "twelve good men and true" m Wellington recentlv, drunkenness is 110 palliation for crime. If it were, then, gentlemen, New Zeaand would 'lie a pretty sorry place to live in. Anyone who Ims had much to do with courts ninst know that drunkenness is the cause of pretty well 7!j per cent, of the crime which has to be investigated in onr country." Jit is reported in Wellington that a mixed party of Maoris, about fifty in number, Ims been engaged to eater for the entertainment of the London public at the Hippodrome. They will lie mostly Holorua native^ 1 , and it is expected that they will be absent from Xew Zealand for n'bont seven months. The performance will consist of poi dances audi hnkas. It is understood that oftcr n| season in London the troupe will tour 1 tlie English provinces and Scotland. ■
