A Lady's Experience at leonoM Simmons' Drapery Warehouse.

Ihe other day I joined the glad throng of smart sale sheppers at Leopold Simmons of underclothing and costume skirts, and invested (perhaps I had better not say to what extent) in a delightful model embroidered lawn and laceblouse, which was oneof aspecial purchase, from aa extensive Parisian, stock. The fit of these blouses is suek1 as command my utmost respect, while their prices are really quite ridiculously cheap. But blouses are not the only new arrivals in the great bargain sale. Ihe. mantle department shows those natty tweed silk lined coats and lots of pretty costumes like our American, cousins'. I know a good thing when I see it. I also pounced upon some long i V-n j undersklr( <s, voluminously topiniled and rucked, at correspondingly low prices. Luckily there are plenty of these, for the present at any rate, in all colours, and I advise you to inspect them early if j-ou are in need, for these are the sort which really keep your skirt in shape. The special feature of this sale, to which I wish to draw your attention, is the large'and varied stock of underclothing, and anyone wanting charming and useful underwear, for every garment is from "the best of manufacturers, and many arc handmade and of the highest grade material. A fully-priced and illustrated catalogue will be sent you on application.*
