Black Hamburg Net, and 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 tho ridiculous price of Is a yard. I have j nst bought a lot of Black, White, aud Brown Hamburg Trimming, and will sell it at 2d, 3d, and Id yard.; bo don't be too late. Tho ladies tell me there isn't a man more talked of by them in Auckland than I am, and no wonder, when lam olways buying them something nico. I only wish I could get some more Shirt Fronts like I am no\y sellincrat6deach. 'What would the Qneensay 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 bo all sold; Embroidery. Id a yard; J^adies' White Stockings. 6d; a few Eoys' Woolen Jackets left at 2s. I will now reduce my 6s Jackets to Is, and my 4s ones to 3a 6d. Already ahout three parts of the Scarf Shawls I told you of are sold, and which measure 3 yards 7 inches long, and over i feet wide. If there are any married men who wish their wives to live a long while, and I behove there are some who do, let them provo' ithy treating their wives to one of these Shawlsthis cold weather.

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 as many that are 18 carat, and somebody loses awfully on them, I can assure you. As you ladies are fond of the beautiful, come and look at my immense »tock of magnificent Belt Clasps, the highest price of which is Is a pair.

It all the women in Auckland, were as sharp as my lady customers, I shouldn'ti have any 200 yard reels of Glazed Cotton left to Bell at 8d a dozen, nor any 50-yard ditto to sell at _id per dozen; but there are sure to be some stupid women in every country. My Ruche (different'colours) is going well at 4d a yard.

I have also some at 2s. Handsome Coloured Satin Furniture Trimming, 6d per yard; Coloured FurBraid, 6d per dozen yards; Black and Green, Furniture Gimp, 6d per dozen yards; Black Bugle Dress Gimp, reduced to Id per yard.

What will the men. do when all my Satin Scarfs at Is are all gone, audit will not be long, for I have already Bold I should think about 45 dozen. I shall want you: ladies to buy my handsome Belt Buckles at 2d to Is. as soon as you can, as I have bought over 92 dozen.

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 some, i ladies come and get their bargains of, me as ' usual, and hug them all to themselves, not I saying a word to their friends about the wonder- ! ful bargains they have bought, whilst the good ladies show what they have bought of me, and J 'tell the price they have paid, and.so do'gbpdto those they know, including myself...
