This month marks an epoch in the drapery history of George street, Duncdin. Xob so long ago ib would have been thought litter folly to make even a semblance of the exhibition of West End costumes,, as is being displayed at Arthur Burnett's during this week. From a neutral's standpoint it must be admitted that the effort would do credit to any Australasian house.
