THREE DAYS’ SIEGE.

Stratford Housewives Must Be Prepared.

If Stralford residents haven’t eaten stale bread before, it looks as if they will ovtsr Christinas week-end. Then having found that their digestion has improved thereby, they will be pleased to repeat the performance the following week-end when New Year conies along. And if grocers haven’t already ordered a double stock of tinned meal, then they would be wise 'to do so for seemingly it will be .in great demand on the same two occasions. All this will have been brought about by the fact that this Christmas and New Year will witness all shops slur: from Thursday' night till the following Monday morning and by the time Sunday evening’s meal is laid upon the table, the bread will indeed be hard and the Christmas joint, if not already consumed, then carved down to tile bone. Christmas Day falls on Friday, Boxing Day on Saturday and then conies Sunday’. New' Year’s Day also falls on a Friday with the following day a statutory holiday and then Sunday. It will m’an stocking the cupboard in advance for a three-days’ seige.
