They are adapted for ladies of all ages, dark or fair, short, tall, or medium, One striking advantage possessed by Tailormade Costumes in addition to those already enumerated, is that each comprises endless modifications of the original toilet being attainable by A JUDICIOUS ... CHANGING OF VESTS A convincing proof of the becomingness of the Tailor-made costume is the fact that gentlemen invariably approve of it. Of course the Tailor-built Costume must be SELECTED WITH . . JUDGMENT, . , . . and in order to exercise judgment, ladies must purchase at some establishment where the choice -. , offered is large and well assorted ' AND THAT IS WHERE . WE COME IN. . . We not only make these useful, comfortable, " ‘ . ’ durable, and fashionable costumes to measure on ' our own premises, affording ladies a bewildering variety of material, .English and Colonial, to. select from, but -we keep an enormous stock o these costumes READY MADE . . . for the convenience of ladies who require some thing for immediate use. A. well made costume lasts a long time, and looks well until it is worn out. It is durable ! warm, and cosy, and IT SUITS THE FIGURE AS NOTHING ELSE . DOES .... AS MILLINERS we acknowledge no superiors. Our Millinery Department is extremely popular, with the ladies of Canterbury. They know that so far as our trade is concerned, we bring LONDON AND PARIS to their very doors, so to speak, and that we are never behind the times.' They know that the latest London and Parisian novelties in Millinery are always to bo found in our show rooms almost as quickly as they are seen in Eegent Street or Bond Street, or in the fashionable magazines of ' the Paris Boulevards, We are showing just now some specially attractive shipments of stylish hats, bonnets and toques, including the large velvet hats so im mensely popular for winter wear, and that other fashionable novelty in hats known as the “ Gardener’s Daughter,” also the new style of toques as now worn in London. FANCY GOODS . « just to hand by the s.s. “Maori” and other recent arrivals are exquisitely beautiful. They comprise, inter alia, miles of lovely ribbons in all the latest shades, and adapted to all purposes beautiful lace, (and lace was never more fashionable than at the present time), for the embellishment of the dinner toilet, opera, wedding and reception dresses, handkerchiefs (some of them veritable works of art), frillings, veilings, etc. LADIES’ UMBRELLAS . AND SUNSHADES. . These we have in bewildering variety of effects.

Whatever questions of Social Needs may exist, and ■ however much we may rack our brains to discover : satisfactory solutions of them, there is at least oneand certainly not the least important—province, in which the solution has been found. For is not the question, “What is our best daily beverage?” of importance to all classes, of society? And is any other answer that question possible, from disinterested persons, than “ van Houten’s Cocoa ” ? It is more wholesome than any other ' drink, it is'nourishing and easy to digest; refreshing, without’ acting injuriously on the nervous system in the way that Tea, Coffee, and other drinks do; and. its delicious flavor in no way palls on the taste after continually using the cocoa. As regards its price, it is, as thousands can testify from practical experience, not at all dear to use. ■ What a pity all social questions cannot be. answered as easily as the above one;- but their answers require a great deal of thinking about. Those who are busy thinking about them, cannot do better than take a enp of \an Houten’s Cocoa daily,- as for helping the brain-worker it is without equal.
