A wELL-dressed woman— that is, a woman whoso attire is, in every sense, in the most perfect taste, has ever been au object of wondering and respectful adoration to the mere man, and of equally respectful if less outspoken admiration to her own sex. This would seem to imply that well-dressed women are in a minority, though why that should be the case here in Wellington it is diffionlt to understand, when there exists a place like tho Wholesale Family Drapery Warehouse, Te Aro House. • Fob it is the boast of the proprietor of this establishment that he offers, in the first place, a selection of dress materials that for infinite variety and genuine good value is unequalled in the oolony. For the season's trade there has been opened np a bewildering show of tweed suitings, colonial tweeds, French serges and foules, wool brooades, costume and satin cloths. Meltons, crepons, and other fashionable fabrics, all of whioh are being offered at prices that should make every woman haste to the Wholesale Family Drapery Warehouse, Te Aro Houbb. Whin to this is added the fact that Madame de Verney, a lady of London and Parisian experience, is in daily attendance to make up costumes at the shortest notice, and on tho most reasonable scale of charges, it will bo seen that the only thing necesswy to sooure the distinction of being a welldressed woman is an immediate visit to the Wholesale Family Drapery Warehouse, Te Aro Honse. — Advt. . .
