There is no fabric that is so genteel, so dressy and so service-
able as black silk of good quality, nor is there any that calls for
more care in the buying. As there are very few who can distin-
guish the difference between agood and an inferior black silk it will
doubtless be acceptable to give a few hints about what we have
to offer in this line. In the first place never be beguiled into buy-
ing a. cheap black silk, but on the other hand coetliness is no
guarantee of real value, as it should be remembered that the re-
quisite qualities of good silk are strength, smoothness, lustre,
richness and lightness, no matter how thick the material. Now
we are agents for the celebrated llaskel Silk Co.’s Silk, which
possesses all of these qualities besides being fully warranted.
In our assortment will be found the old reliable gros grain in
