Gently, in answer to the question as to
whether more goods are sold on any par.
ticular day or days of the week than on
the others. "Now, Monday is always a
pretty good day, because on Sunday the
stores are closed and people have time to
think just what they need and to lay their
plans for the week. II women conclude to
make any new articles for wear during
the week they almost invariably do their
shopping the first thing Monday morn
ing, so that they can get to work
at them as quickly as possible. Tues
day is not so good, for I have noticed
that there is always an unusual number Of
ladies sitting around the store that day
looking at goods but they do not make any
purchases. They evidently drop in more
to spend time than to buy. Wednesday is
one of the best days Of the week, ss is al
20 Thursday, which is called sBridget's
day OUT Their purchases are usually
small, but there are so many Of them that
they count up nevertheless. Friday is
the worst day of the week, for while there
are always 9 great many ladies out on this
day when the weather is favorable they
are merely out for q walk, and don't do
much shopping. There is q good deal of
promenading done ON Saturday, but as the
purchases for Sunday must be made on
this day it makes the best of the week."
