The drapery department of the W.F.C.A. was tho centre of attrac- ! tion at Mastorton last evening, when the new spring and summer goods, just landed from tho Home markets, wero displayed to thcirfullcstadvantage. In every department there is, of course, some useful and attractive . novelty, and this year the firm's i buyer has evidently excelled himself i in the selection made. The Manchester Department is well stocked | with prints, drills, drillottos, cam- , brics, sateens, and crepons in endloss i variety and in every hue, besides i tho latest novelties in figured nain--1 sooks, matt shirtings, and crepe 1 fancies, and we are informed thatall ■ these are to be supplied at prices | hitherto unheard of in Mastorton. [ In dress goods there are some very ! choice lines in the new coatings, and ! coating sorges, tenuis cloths, etc., while the stock of silks include [ specialties in pongeo and moire. ■ The stock of capes include somo of ; the latest styles.

Tho show-rooiu for hats, millinery, and blouses camo in for a lot of attention from the ladies, the whole making a most charming display. Tho Furnishing Department has received attention, and there are shown some fine cretonnes in new patterns and colors, and some pretty things in rugs.
