THE WOES OF SHOPPING
Were Enhanced BY the Rain and
slus1 of Saturday.

After two weeks of ideal Christ
mas weather it went rather hard TO
sail serenely through the disagreed
bic sIop of the past two days The
early part of last week showed the
streets unsafe for all but the most
careful pedestrians, while the latter
part found conditions as bad If not
worse The rain was so constant and
persistent Saturday morning that
nearly everyone postponed his shop
ping until afternoon or evening in
hopes that the condition Of affairs
would change This proved a vain
hope, however. and late Saturday
night saw the stores thronged with
eager and bedragS1ed buyers, who
we're struggling under even worse
disadvantages than were the mer-
chants themselves who used every
endeavor to accommodate the seeth-
ing crowd of humanity besieging
their counters.

good idea to wet the siftcd ashes on
top and also to add to the water II lib

keeps the under fire alive. but in rak-
