We Men Housekeepers Are
Naturally Proud
0f ourselves, but our imperfections are soon
discovered after we have had the run of a few days
directing servants, the marketing and taking the
chances of guests dropping in, without notice, for
The forgetfulncss of small things, such as the
suear box's being empty and the gas broiler broken,
which we failed to have mended as the cook was
oromised, and some of the castors unfilled for want
of supplies, quite bothered us over the Sunday, when
there was no chance to remedy our needs.
What a flutter we were in when a woman
relative came in to find us out in our predicament
and promptly compelled our resignation on the spot.
What would become of the puifed-up, spoiled,
vain and unappreciating men and boys if there were
not some good woman to put out her hand to us?
Most men and storekeepers, too, think too much
of themselves.

With Everything Going Well
Especially the furniture. The Sale that brings
the goods that people want is always easy to recognize,
but never more so than when it gets along toward the
end.
For this is the time when the greatness of a great
sale and the weakness of a weak sale become unmis
takable. The one great furniture sale that everybody
recognizes never fails for want of merchandise.
To meet the exceptionally heavy demands which
the last six or eight days of the sale usually bring us
we have a large and excellent collection of furniture,
but we believe we are going to need it all; for it is
always the case that as the sale gets nearer to the
end the desire to take advantage of it seems to become
peculiarly "catching."
This should be especially pronounced in the Sale
now going on, the first sale that ever brought you the
privilege of choosing from our entire stock of furni
ture at a deduction of 33 1-3 per cent, and in some
cases of 50 per cent.

Lowest Price for Such Quality Since Before the War
One of our good manufacturers
had a quantity of short ends of splen
did, heavy woven madras which were
of small use to him in a regular way.
He agreed to make these goods up
into soft-cuff, plain neglige shirts at
a ridiculously low price if we would
take the entire lot off his hands.
When we figured that we could
sell these shirts at $1.85, we took
him up in a jiffy told him we could
sell all he could make of this fine ma
terial at that price. It has been years
since we have had such good shirts
