Do you remember when you were in the woodshed in the yard, and you were splitting with an axe the kindling wood for the stove, and you chipped a piece off of the forefinger of your left hand, how tenderly she cleaned it, and, with Iter two little hands bandaged it up and' made it stop hurting? v Can't you see lier now, in spite of the years, standing in the doorway of the small wooden country house, with a flower garden in front, that she had planted, and tended, all herself, jnrehcaded and smiling, waving a good-by to you with her dear hand as you trotted off to school every morning? Such little hands they surely were. Do you mind how difficult it was to get a pair of women's gloves small enough to fit Ucr beautiful hands? The Golden Hours to get: the best results in tTiis great selling arc 9 to 12 A. M. All of our good customers t are patient and helpful, for they appreciate what a great thing this movement ia. Those who can possibly do so should come in the morning hpurs, arid leave the busier afternoon hours for those who cannot , leave their homes in the morning. Signed Hay 10, 1020. ft jfatmafo.
