WHAT A DIFFERENCE there ■is -in - women. The wise ones have already bought all my White, Blue and Black Hamburg Net,, arid 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 ayard. I havejustbought 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 I am. always buying them something nice. I only wish I could get some more Shirt Fronts like I am now selling at 6d each. What would the Queen say if she saw my new lot of lorely Cuffs and Collars? I have plenty of the Collars, but the Cuffs are going so fast that they will soon be all sold; Embroidery, 4d a yard; Indies' White Stockings, 6d; a few Boys' Woolen Jackets left at 23. I -will now rednce my 6s Jackets to 4a, and my 4s ones to 3a 6d. Already about three Darts of the Scarf Shawls I told you of are sold, and which measure 3 yards 7 inches long, and 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 this cold weather.

If you wish to look like a Queen, come and see the lovely bargains I have just bought—namely, Biack Bracelets, Gd per pair. They look like real jot. Such lovely Necklets, wth lockets, 3s each. They look like 18 carat gold, and if they are not I will give you your money back. I will now give your husbands an inducement to take you out for a walk a little oftener by selling such handsome Watch Guards at 2s each. All I need say about them is that though " they may not be" more than 9 carat gold, they look as well aa many that are 18 carat, und somebody lose^ awfully on them, I can as-sure you. As you lu-diea are fond of the beautiful, come and look at my immense stock of magnifies t Belt Clasps, the hif<hefct price of which is Is a pair.

If all the women in Auckland were us sharp as aij iadj customers, I shouldn't have any 200 jard reels of ulazed Cotton left to sell at 8d a dozen, nor any 50-yard ditto to sell at id per dozen; but there are bine to bo some stuj-id women in every country. My Ruche (different colours) is going well at Id a yard.

Now lam not going to say that there is one bad woman in Auckland, but still I will say that some are a great deal better than others ; for instance I believe sorno ladies come and get their bargains of mo as usual, and hug them all to themselves, not saying a word to their friends about tho wonderful bargains they have bought, whilst the good ladies show what they have bought of me, and toil the price they have paid, and so do good to those they know, including myself. I have 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 advertisement over again, and that is they will be able to write down what thoy wish to remember. Tell your husbands to come and see my strong useful Shoes at is a pair.—W. H. Dampier, Victoria-street, corner of Hobsonstreet.

rgIAXATION 'BELIEVED < «3T READ THIS CAREFULLY. Much ado is being made at the present time about .the tax on Beer, and the cry is—" Why tax the poor man any more." But without discussing the pros, and cons, of the above tax, J. LEVY would call the attention of the Public of Auckland—and especially the , Working Classes—to the Great Reduction which he has made in the price of Men's, Boy's, and Youth's READY-MADE CLOTHING. This great reduction on what is realiy necessary for the Working Man's comfort, will more thun recompense him for the tax on beer. Warm Clothing is a necks-ity ; Beer is a luxury. Be wise, therefore, ana have necessities first, and if you have any spare Cash afterwards, then indulge in luxuries. J. LEVY ■ does not intend in this advertisement to sisy much, as the Parliamentary reports occupy so much space, but he has no fear but the few remarks he has offered will cause men to think aright, and if they are wise, they will Jose no time in calling upon their old friend, who assures them that he has in stook everything that ia requisite for their requirernentp. J. LEVY Makes no apology for republishing his PRICE LIST again. It caused a sensation before, and will do so again, especially as nearly all the lines have been reduced. .
