ABOUT TAILOR-MADE COSTUMES AND OTHER THINGS.

NOT SO LONG AGO . Tailor-made Costumes were used for morning or travelling- wear only, NOW FICKLE FASHION has changed all that, and ladies -who aspire to be modish don Tailor-made Costumes at all hours and on all sorts of occasions. Thesegarmeuts are so useful, so comfortable and SO BECOMING , . they suit everyone. They are adapted for ladie of all ages, dark or fair, short, tall, or medium, MISS OR MADAM . One striking advantage possessed by Tailor made Costumes in addition to those already enumerated, is that each comprises A DOZEN TOILETS IN ONE, , . • • • 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 gentlemer invariably approve of it. Of course the Tailor-built Costume must be SELECTED WITH JUDGMENT, , i . 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 be found in onr show rooms almost as quickly as they are seen in Regent 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 Roques, including the large velvet hats so im xnensely 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, iifcer 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), frilliugs, veilings, etc. LADIES’ UMBRELLAS . AND SUNSH ADES. . These we have in bewildering variety of effects. In a changeable climate such as ours, umbrellas are indispensable, not merely for personal com ' fort, but to protect the wearing apparel. They soon save their cost, and it is no economy to be without one.
