MORE VALENTINES, NUKE OF EV GhY-
 THING THAN EVER BEFORE.-WE ARE
 READY TO WELCOME A HOST OF CHILL
 DREN.
 By this time scores of Newtown lit- tie folks have received letters addressed right to their very selves, telling them that they would be very welcome at the Valentine Sale and Supper in the lecture. room of the Congregational church on Saturday afternoon and evening, February 6. Of course their parents and even their grandparents will be welcome, too, for nobody is too old to send valentines and everybody likes to receive them. We had more on every year until this year we have more than ever. We told John Wan amaker to send us the prettiest valen- tines he had in stock; and probably he did, for John Wanamaker has built up his big business by trying to please everybody. A Brooklyn lady has painted 25 love tokens, and some New town young ladies are to paint some more. These hand-painted novelties will go like hot cakes. More dough- nuts are to come out of the kettle than ever before, and we have never been able to get all the doughnuts the peo- day loaf of cake can be bought here and perhaps the loaf of rye bread to match it. The sale opens at 3 o'clock. At o'clock the table is ready for supper, and from that time on to 8 o'clock the noise of dishes will go on. Oh! we almost forgot Out it would not do to forget that), there's the homemade candy-fudge, chocolates, peanut brittle, and all that.

HOWLAND'S

This is a week of unrest in the store, a week of pre- pairing for spring. We are taking inventory;get- ting ready for a fresh start. All the goods are counted or measured; the store must find out just where 1t stands. Only by doing this can past mis- takes be made a source of gain; when you know a thing was done wrong you'll not repeat the er- TOT. This work over, the first thing will be to get those, mistakes out of the way-and to do that we'll use the broom of small prices. Can't advertise the things that'll be in- cluded for don't yet know what they are. But there'll be enough (there is always) and their prices will be temptingly low. This done, the new goods will get their chance. They are waiting for it now-lovely silks, beauti- full cottons, fine linens, handsome woolen dress stuffs, rich rugs, elegant costumes, smart shoes, draper ies-d oZ e n s of things.
 Will you take this as your personal invitation from the store-an invi- tation for to day and to- morrow and for every day.
