Irish wit is often of the most mordant and even sardonic kind. Was there ever tore sardonic stroke of description than that O'Connell guvo of Peel's bloodleaa tMMf "His smile was like the silver plate D a coffin." Less scathing, but less witty also, was his description of a lady of n sim ilarly repellant temperament, "She had 11 the characteristics of a poker except its occasional warmth." The late Hugh Stowell Drown, the pop alar Nonconformist preacher, once over beard an old Irishwoman in Liverpool mutter furiously, as a funeral, to which he ought to have been asked, passed hoi door: "Oh, go an wld yel Go an wld yel Go an wld yel Dut maybo there'll bo a funeral at our house soon, an thin we'll aae who'll be axedl" A friend of my father's had a servant called Jerry Doherty, n handy man, who was of invaluuble scrvlco to him until poor Jerry took to drink. His muster, as much In his own Interests as in Jerry's, was continually trying to reform him, und to this end he would road out to Jerry from the newspapers every story of crime or of trouble traceable to drink which h could find in them. At last he camo upon story which might have reformed Uar dolph. It was n thrilling tnlo of a drunk ard, who whs so saturated with whisky that his breath caught lire as he was blow ing out a candle, set his inside, nblazo as It would have set any other whlsky.cnsk and burned him to ashes In Ave minutes. "Now, .Jerry now, Jerry," urged the mus ter, with the solemnity of an. adjuration, "let this bo n 'warning to youl" '-"Oh, lie gor, It will so, sir!" groaned the horrified Jerry, "I'll never blow a camllo out ugaln the longest day I livol" Helgravia.

WIiIIh this sale was going on tho flrm had plavd order for an entire new stock, and a foiYis of artlt wero put to work 011 the ula uaged store room, working night and day to get It ready for the grand opening which took placo Thurs day.

Every jacket and short wrap Is of new designs, and nunii erous among them are exclusive patterns. It's a lino worth careful inspection. To wrlto up tho ontlro stock would bo nlmoit an endless task, so the best idea our lady friends can get of the now Mauritius stock, would be to make it n point to step In next tlmo while down town and look the store over.
