The Saturday Half-Holiday Movement

A PUBLIC meeting is soon to be held in New York to help forward the Saturday half-holiday movement. A pledge to abstain as far as possible from making purchases at any store after one o'clock on every Saturday afternoon has been signed by some fifty wealthy society ladies, and is being circulated. This is a step in the direction of enforcing Sunday observance, the theory being that if employes are given half of the Sabbath for a holiday, they will have no excuse for taking recreation on Sunday.
