Sheets and PiIloweases
January is first and foremost
devoted to the White SALE and the
shops are showed under with yards
and yards of clean white goods OF all
descriptions. Ready. made sheets and
Dillowcases are seen everywhere, and
are very we'll worth the money asked
for them. 1t saves a great amount OF

they may be done fer her as cheaply
by machinery, and are practically as
useful, If not quite SO dainty, as those

When a woman does work, let her !

mankind has fashioned for her com.
