 EMPTY BOOK SHELVES. Why not treat your book store like libra ry? Drop in when you are passing just to see what the new books are And when you see a volume--perhaps on history or war-which intrigues your curiosity, or another-perhaps a novel or a book of poetry which would give your wife a week of happy evenings, or still another-perhaps a charmingly illustrated 1uvenile-which would keep your little son quietly con- tented for hours, tuck it under your arm to take home. Think of the fun it will be to surprise your unsuspecting family! Yes, cultivate the habit of dropping into your bookstore as if it were library. Only-there will be a difference in the reciprocal treatment you will receive. Instead of carrying home g. loan, you will carry home a | possession.
