ricty Of rich new dress-stuffs;
/

Think Of that count, r of
remnants and odd lot dress
stufs again.
All the remnants made TO-
day, tomorrow go to the rem
nant counter. The quickest
stufIs to go are the first to
make remnants.
All the lastyear's stuffs
whether remn ints or not are
there, All the stu4s coming
in for whaewr reason that
hinder trade at The dress stuff
counters so to the odd lot
counter.
It's a store by itself; and
it makes the rest of the store
a better store by drawing the
line between old and new, be-
tween fashionable and going
out. between what you would
like if money were plenty
and what you are glad to get
for half or three-quarters.
BY tie City-hall-square door.
Blanket-time; that is, time
to remind you of blanket
wisdom.
1t isn't easy SO close on the
heels Of sultry unbearable
weather to be blanket-wise in
a minute. Begin a little early.
This is blanket-wisdom: No
matter how coarse, no matter
how fine, no matter how thin,
no matter how thick, no mat
ter whether cotton or wool
but let the blanket be big.
Depends on the size Of
| your bedstead of course. One
spends a third of his time in
bed unguarded. Let the
blanket be big enough to lap
over sides, tuck in, and be
your nightly guard. There
is but one virtue in blankets.
That virtue is bigness.
We have blankets for wise
and unwise people; more for
the unwise because there are
more of them. There are
two sorts of blankets: big
and stingy. Keep those two
words in mind.
There's a little hint besides
about money. Buy by the
pound.
The wisest people are apt
to come first. They shall buy
at present for IS and Soc q
8 pound and fare extremely
!, well. The blankets we arr
