You have probably knoMm women who shop without aim or purpose, having no list of needed articles but who watch the bargain counters and when especially attracted by the price or appearance of something, make the purchase without really stopping to consider whether or not (hey need the article. Sometimes this may prove profitable but sometimes the money is li«>d up a long titne before the pur- cbiser gets the money's worth out of 'bo so-called bargain. There are other buyers who need certain articles but fail to determine I the quantity necessary for the definite purpose and so, when seeing what ap- pears to be a good buy, they purchase an amount sufficiently large to insure them against making an extra trip for more and quite frequently it happens that there is a remnant left which is probably never used. NOT ALWAYS A BABOAIN. An advertised sale does not always indicate bargains. The regular coun- ter may have better bargains than tlie advertised bargfain counter. To really g«t good bargains from a low-priced purchases standpoint, one must be a close observer of qualities, regfular prices and store policies.

When c«r- tian that they are placed to the best advantage, cut and sort Ijefore remov- ing the pattern. Now is the time to replenish sheets and pillow cases, but whether it is better economy to make them or pur- chase them ready made must l>e deter- mined by each housewife for herself. If time spent in ntaking is considered, there is little advantage from a money standpoint in making them, as the cost of ready ntades compares very favorably with that of the home made; but there is an advantage in making them if one does not desire the stan- dard sizes in which the ready mades can only be procured. In the home we should be equally careful that the sheet is long enough to protect the sleeper from any possible germs lurk- in-g in the blankets and comforters a« well as to protiect them from soil by contact with hands that possibly were not too carefully washed before retir- ing. The feet are entitled to the same protection from cold as the rest of the body and so the sheet must be long enough to insure secureness at the foot of the bed, and there should be from twelve to eighteen inches at the side according to whether one or two occupy the bed. Therefore the sheet should be from twenty-four to thirty- six inches longer and wider than the mattress. Too large a sheet is hard to handle and launder and is therefore as much to be shunned as the too small sheet. They should always be torn to be straight or they will never be satisfactory. Ready made ones that have been torn will be so stamped. PILLOW TUBING. Pillow tubing is more desirable than seamed cotton as the ironing usually causes the greatest wear at the seam. Rip the bottom seam of the tubed cass after it begins to show signs of wear and turn the tube 90 that the former edges are together in the centre and sew a new seam at the bottom. This gives the case more even usage. Making the hems of sheets of th« same width, insures more even wear as either end will be used at head or foot, and if made long enough to pro- perly tuck in at the foot, there is lit- tle danger of reversing head and foot when making the bed. January is a good time to stock up on towels for both kitchen and per- sonal use. Linen is preferable to cot- ton. Orash and huckaback' are more serviceable than damask although the latter is- more beautiful. Here again the question arises as to the advisabil- ity of making or buying ready made.
