They don’t want to sit around in stores, and window ledges and door sins are not comfortable resting- places. Half a dozen seats in some of the vacant spots would often be enjoyed by tired visitors. These, to some of our wise heads, may seem like‘silly s 1ggestions, birt are they? Little courtesies are appreciated, and more than that. they always pay. Mrs. Jenkins, Mrs. Jus. Hopmnsg and Mrs. C.
