"RedLetter Days"
How We Do 1t.

You are not the only gamers by 'Red Letter
Days" We gain--gain uade-gain dollars.
Suppose we buy dozen bookcases and sell
all but one or two at regular profit; can't we
afford to sell that one or two at cost, or below,
just to get rid of them?
That's one use of ''Red Letter Days to
clear out broken lots.
Another use is to advertise our store; get
people here who were never here before;
show them what we mean by right furniture
at right prices.

7ON'T throw away old newspapers.
They can be made Of use in several
Ways. Here are few of them:
- As a protector from the cold. II
your lungs are a little sensitive
there is no better chest protector than
piece of newspaper folded inside the bod
ice. III you have that creepy. cold feeling
down the spine line the back OF your waist
with u piece of newspaper and see how
warm you will feel. Your feet need
never be cold II you will remember to
cut strip OF newspaper and lay it in the
sole. On very cold nights, il you want
extra warmth you need not pile on thick
coverings, thereby adding an uncomfortable
weight to your bedciotbes. Between the
sheet and the blanket place n layer of news
paper, and you will sleep as 'cozy as a cat
in ashes"
As a polisher Of glasses, the newspaper
rivals the chamois. Especially useful Is
il in clea ming window panes. Wipe the glass
off carefully with a cloth moistened with
ammonia and water. and then rub vigor-
ousIy with a piece Of newspaper. Your
window panes will be as clean and clear as
the most exacting house wifes heart could
desire.
Then again-but this must be whispered
many women save their newspapers to
make of thcni-busuesl This seems very
undignified use to which to put the molder

needs "just a little something below the
waist line in the back to make her skirt
set correctly. Nearly every other kind
of hustle adds a small weight to be carried
by the hips, and this is not good for the
strongest woman. The paper has no
weight. can be adjusted to any size, and,
best of all, can be renewed each day.
Besides these things 1t polishes stoves,
lines stair, hall and floors better than any
other material you can put under carpet,
keeps moths from packed clothing, and pre-
serves ice longer than when wrapped in a

DAINTY DlMITIES.

frefty and Simple Wash Dresses for
spring and summer Wear.
Z oME of the daintiest, yet most unpre.
tending. wash dresses, says Harper's
Bazar, will be of diinity, sheer and
fine with the corded lines ex-
treinely small. The colored grounds
are newest, yet there are many with white
surfaces so nearly covered with clusters
OF small yellow, rose, or green figures,
leaves or flowers that they produce a
coiored effect. and these are said TO wash
particularly well.
BY way OF trimming they have insertions
or Vaienciennes lace let in-not merely
laid on-in large squares on the entire waist
ana sleeves, and forming an effective row
above the hem of the skirt. Some of these
insertions arc an Inch and a half wide
They are also f0rfhed into pen-lOoped bows,
and applications of ribbons are used in
the same way.a
A large bow OF lace is let in at each side
of the top of fIie front of the waist, and
single one In 'the hack. These have very
simply cut beltcd waists, their only seams
under the arms. unless a large figure re-
quires an under-arn form, and they are
occasionally worn over half low Innings.
and the waist 6 cul down in a very small
square about the throat. This is for ex-
trefnely hot places and for very young
women and girls yet in their teens.
Large c0llarettes of satin or of taffeta
OF the color prevailing in the dimity are
worn with such waists. They are COIN
pieted by ruffle in which the lace is in
serted.
Simpler gowns, high about the neck. are
completed by draped stock of ribbon
with very large bow at the back, and q
belt to correspond.

Nancy's Nightmare.

am the doll that Miss Nancy brOkel
Hadn't been hers a week;
One little squeeze. and 1 sweetly spoke;
Rosy and fair was my cheek;
Now my head lies in corner far.
My body lies here in the other;
And il this is what human children are,
never will live with another!
1 am the book that Nancy read
For fifteen minutes together;
Now am standing here on my head,
While she's gone TO look at the weather;
My leaves are crushed in the coolest way,
There's jam on my opening page;
And 1 would not live with Miss Nancy Gay,
Though shouldn't be read for an ageI
am the frock that Nancy wore
Last night at her birthday feast,
am the frock that Nancy tore
In seventeen places at least.
My buttons are scattering far and near.
My trimming is torn to rags:
And if were Miss Nancy's mother, dear,
I'd dress her in calico bags!
We are the words that Nancy said,
When these things were brought to her
view,
All of us ought TO be painted red,
And some OF us are nottrue.
We splutter. and mutter, and snarl, and
snap,
We smolder. and smoke, and blaze;
And If she'd not meet with some sad mis-
hap.
Miss Nancy must mend her ways.

TINY LEAKS.
Even Miilionaires' Families Measure

the Small Wastes.
"HE little leaks in the household ex-
The big ones are prominent enough
L to compel attention. Do you not,
for example, trust all your trades
people implicitly? You can't afford to do
SO, says the Jenness Miller Monthly The
head servant in the Vanderbilt and Astur
and other wealthy families have among
their chief duties that of weighing thehouse-
hold supplies. Dry goods measurements in
the large shops are generally very accu-
rate because the employees are under strict
orders to be exact. But grocers and butch
ers will bear watching. Get for yourself
or your kitchen priestess n set OF measures
and some scales. and after you and She have
learned to use them you will be amazed to
see how much you have been paying for
that you haven't had. Even in the most
reliable shops-so CaIled-the weighing is
very lax. Butchers claim that the deficien-
cies in their weights are all due tdthe waste
in trimming. Very well, order the meat
sent untrimmed. You will get fresher meat,
and what you trim Off will often give you
rice bits for the stock pot, suet, etc. Try
it and be convinced. -st--
A quick-witted housekeepcr says she has
saved many u dollar in plumbers bills by
buying a force cup and learning to handle
a wrench. Despite washing soda and pot
ash, now and then something unreliable
slips through the sink sirainer and clogs
the pipe. All the more modern plumbing
has a nut at the bottom OF the goose
neck Just below the sink. By setting a
pan benea tn this, and with Il wrench loosen
ing and then removing the cap, the obstruc-
ton will generally be found right here.
Sometimes the force cup applied over the
straiuer in the sink will be sufficient to
clear the pipe without taking the cap off
the goose neck. If both fail no harm will
have been done, but one or the other or
both succeeds often enough to make it
worth while to exercise ones ingenuity a
bit.

Grace Culture.

The candidate for grace has to learn
to stand properly before she is taught
anything. She may not plant herself firmly
on her heels. Her weight must rest on the
balls of her feet, SO that the heels are free
to rise and fall. The stomach must be in
and the chest must be out. When a girl
can stand in this position on chalk line
and sway back and forth without losing
her balance she has mastered the first
principle of grace.
