WHAT A DIFFERENCE there is in women. • Th c °. es have already bought all my white, Blue and Black Hamburg Net, ana I have only some Of the Brown left, in different patterns, and that is going fast too; and no wonder, when I am selling it at the ridiculous price of Is a yard. I have just bought a lot of Black, White, and BroWn Hamburg Trimming, and will sell it at 2d, 3d, and Id yard; so don't be: too late. The ladies tell me there isn't a man more talked of by them in Auckland than I am, and no wonder, when lam always buying them something nice. I only wish'l could get some more Shirt Fronts like I am now selling at 6d each. What would tbe Queen say if she saw my new lot of lovely Cuffs and Collars? I have plenty of the Collars,- but the Cuffs are going so fast that they will soon .3 all sold; Embroidery, _d* a yard; ■'■■Ladies' White Stockings. 6d; a few Boys' Woolen Jackets left at 25.. I will now reduce my 6s Jackets-to -is, and my 4s ones to 3* 6d. Already about three parts of the Scarf Shawls I told you of aro'sold, and which measure 3 yards 7 inches long, aud over 2 feet wide. If there are any married men who wish their wives to live a long while, and I believe there are some who do, let them prove it by treating their wives to one of these Shawls thi3 cold weather.- Toilet Fringe, Id a yard; Lace, Id a yard; Clark's skeins Crochet Cotton, 2£d or 2s del per lb.:; Hair Pins, od a dozen boxes, or 2 boxes a penny; Towels, 3d aud Od ; Trouser Buttons, 2d per dozen.

Now i. am not going to say that there is one bad woman in .Auckland, but.- till I will say that some are a great dea.l better than others ; for instance I behove some ladies come and get their bargains of iao as usual, and hug them all to themselves, not saying a word to-thei'- friends about the wonderful bargains they have bought, whilst the good ladies show what they have bought of me, and tell the price they have paid, and so do good to those they know, including myself. I Lave a few Hawking Baskets cheap for those who are thinking of going into business. There is one advantage the ladies will gain by reading this adveriisement over again, and that is thoy will be able to write down what thov wish to remember. Tell your husbands to come and see my strong useful -hoes at Is a pair.— W. 11. Dampier, Victoria-street, corner of Hobsonstreet.
