ANOTHER COLD BLIZZARD.
Traffic of All Sorts More or Less

Another blizzard has erveloped the

very uncertain.

Many of the stores and offices where
young people are employed were without
the usual number of salesladies and
clerks this morning. They were not
snow bound, but had the good sense to
stay at home. The counters In the large
dry goods stores were almost deserted by
the fair ones who are usually In charge,
but many ventured out this noon.
Snow began to fall at o'clock yester-
terdsy and by midnight the depth on the
level was inches and to add to the trials
of those who had the misfortune to be out
at that hour the wind was blowing gale.

on the half-hour schedule with four
horses attached and made good time.
The Lonsdsie electrics are still running

forenoon, but all in all Manager Luther
