BARGAINS IN HOUSE LINEN, MILLINERY AND BOOKS.
BLACK HATS ARE NEW.
The January sale to the Dolly Vardon Hat Shop is in full swing. There are the most attractive and becoming phapes to be had for $7.50 to 810 and, naturally, they are selling like the proverbial "hot cakes." I will not tell you any thing about particular hats which
LINEN LORE.
When the January sales begin all good housewives lock through their linen cupboards and, decide what new things are needed. Most brides start their married life with a good stock of table and bed linen, but will not last for ever, and by far the wisest and most econcinical plan is to buy a little each year in the sales to gradually replace and repenish the trousseau linen.
BOOKS AT HALF PRICE.
The January Sale at the Book and Bible Depot in Wyndhara Street, started yesterday. It olers one most unusual feature-all books are marked at half price. So now, if you are making up a menu of reading on the lines I mentioned last week, or want a good store Here where our linen suffers so of miscellaneous reading for the I admired two or three days ago,terribly at the destructive hands of winter evenings, you have an ex- wash amabs, such constant replace cellent opportunity of getting a ment becomes even more necessary. whole number of books at a special, Half a dozen pillow slips and aly low cost.

I saw some really exquisite undies in the Ladies' Balon of Lane, Craw- ford's this week-quite the "most lovely, I think, that I have ever seen. One of the most interesting points is the novel form of em- broidery which is used to decorate them. There is, for example, "an evening trinity. set in double geor gette, white over pink. Delicate sprays of pink leaves and flowers, are let in with the finest possible veining and narrow pink hems give a finishing touch.

HOW MASSAGE HELPS.
Massage is as important for the health as exercise and water. A sharp rub down with a rough towel after the morning bath puts the finishing touch to a. beneficial habit. Every one who experiences the glow caused by such a rubbing knows one of the secrets of main- taining good health.
A sedentary life makes the mus- cles tight and useless. It is an ex- cellent plan to have a five-minute rub down night and morning when it is impossible to obtain any ex ercise.
