cial sales are known the linens are
sure to make their appearance with
each recurring January, and the
thrifty housewife, ever careful of the
appearance of her table and bed lin
ems, watch the papers for the an
nouncements of these linen sales.
There are styles in linens quite as
much as there are styles in gowns
and coats and hats. The styles
change with the changing year, and
while it may not be that each house,
wife finds it possible to purchase
new linens with each change in style,
yet she is usually anxious that what
she buys shall be the correct thing
at the time it is bought. Such is the
excuse, if any is needed, for writing
of the fashions in table linens at the
present time.

An Accommodating Judge.

A good story is told of Mr.. jeff, who
has just been appointed u judge of
the high court. On one occasion,
when he was recorder of Shrewsbury,
a prisoner, who was something of a
hypocrite, tried at quarter sessions
to melt his heart with tears.
"Have you never been in prison?"
asked Mr.. jeff, in soothing tones.
Never, my lord-never," was the
reply.

piled. "That can easily be remedied.
