The " Social Session" company are

playing its 59th consecutive week,
and during that time has appeared
in every State and Territory in the

cities of the British provinces, and
has covered a distance of over 40,000
miles. When one considers that the
company numbers nineteen people,
the aggregate cost of travel at an
average of two cents per mile, would
exceed $15,000, it would be cheaper
to walk.

January for "Wraps
This month will be a good one in f
which to buy wraps. One reason is,
that there will yet be considerable
time in which to use it, another rea
son, that we do not wish to carry a
single garment over until next season,
consequently W6 will save you so
much on the price of a wrap that you
will consider yourself fortunate in
being ab'e to buy a garment of this
kind. Think of buying a stylish long
garment, well made and of the best
material at 50 cents on the dollar.
This we will do for you right now.
