lln the windows of the premises there is to .be seen _ progression from the occasional, tables and chairs - W—ch, one meets with in : modern drawing rooms, to those solid and substantial) chairs' and tables' which mark the .difference "between this and the boudoir I where.the ladies take afternoon tea and, as 1 is reported, talk scandal. So as .to give the public an idea of the wide scope of the ' operations of the"firm in tho particular line of industry to which reference has been, made, Messrs Ballantyne have devoted the j whole-of-their window frontage to the dis-' I play, - All the. <_larmiug and pretty con fections .of mill—cry and dresses which ordi narily cause as large a block of ladies in front of the building as on the other side when important/war telegrams arrive, have dis ! appeared. , Not that the ladies seem to ; regard this as a deprival, on the contrary, the/ crowd was as large yesterday as pre viously. The'display is most artistic, set off as the various articles are by prettily disposed curtanns. and d—,pings. In the first window coming from the westward is ' a variety of rattan furniture, which is just now very much the fashion and quite —lie. Then next is displayed a quantity of oc casional and folding chairs, and beyond again an occasional diining-room suite, .which is exceedingly handsome. Still going west ward, there. is a very excellent display of occasional furniture. Then'comes what is perhaps one of tbe prettiest displays of the whole, viz.", a, bedroom suite. This is in' rimu; and comprises a number of excellently made pieces. The shaving stands show a concession to .the mere male man which is quite .comforting. when one reflects .how >studiously he appears to be ignored else where. For the purpose of ladies admiring themselves to the' best advantage, there is a full length cheval glass, and to accommo date, the many pretty dresses which the charming possessor of so aesthetic a suite is. sure to have, there is a handsome and roomy, wardrobe... A marble-top washstand,-with tile back, and other artistic surroundings, should «gduce any couples who might be contemplating matrimony to hesitate no longer. .'.
