THE HALF-HOLIDAY.
TO THE EDITOR. Sir, — my silly notion. Do not havs one shop for vending delicate silks and satins and mutton chops. Drapers and butchers are different: their occupations, habits, manners, and' customs different. Divide, divide. To begin with, be it perfectly understood that if the police were ordered to stop butchers and grocers selling between four and eleven on Saturday evenings, there would be a rebellion, and firoham would refuse to act. Then, say, Saturday half-holiday, i.e. from one midday to Monday morning, for drapers, and for all who supply toys, tapes, ana trinkets, and trousseaus and tinpots, and Wednesday for all who cater for the stomach. Divide, divide ! Fleshers have no particular desire to picnic and parade with silk mercers.—l am, etc., Old Hand. Ponsonby, Oct. '29, 1892.
