THE DEVOURING LADIES. The groat sale at the D.I.C. in Wellington lias been giving some amusenient to "the mere man looking on. As prices for this clearance have been cnt much more than usual, the ladies arrived early, in thousands and worked hard. During the opening days tho floor groaned with the weight of women. - Salesmen were harassed to the last extremity. The rush on the most popular departments— Dross Materials and •Household Linens—was unprecedented. Meantime, the special stuff that deals with mail orders had no easy time ; for mail orders came in shoals, and it was difficult to fill all of them with dispatch when the departments were crowded and eager bargainhunters stampoded at all tho counters. But, slowly, things settled into shape ; and now, although tho great rush continues, things are very smooth? and comfortable.
