FIRE IN CATHEDRAL SQUARE.
SALON CELIA STOCKS UNDAMAGED. The many clients of the Salon Cclia ■will be relieved to'hear that the beautiful stocks of French blouses, lingerie, jewellery, and novelties suffered no damage from the lire on Saturday. I In war days it is extraordinary to receive models by each mail, designed by [French artists, and seen in their own illimitable and delicate fashion by I French women. But Madame Celia (who lived in Paris | for some years, now of Salon Celia, London) is well known at the War Office for Passports, and is one of the few women allowed to cross to France for any other than urgent war purposes. She has regular]}' visited Paris before and since August, 1914. braving danger and submarines, and the great discomfort of travel between London and j Paris at this time. It is due to her j grit and cleverness that the exquisite | selection of feminine apparel is available at the Salon Cclia, and in view of the difficulties of securing French stocks, and as Madame Celia has bought very heavily because of the increasing prices, it was fortunate indeed to discover the fire in its early stages. ; Business will be conducted as usual at !,' a.m. to-day. ;j
