At Least One Page of News That Is All Good News
One School Teacher We Know in
Another City Has a Jar
rather large, an old preserving jar, in which she puts the
single pennies that come into her hands and which she
empties at Christmas.
Isn't that an easy way to get the nine dollars she
unexpectedly found there last Christinas, and saw how far
she could make it go in little things?
Of course, if she bought a pipe for her father or her
beau, it would all end in smoke!
i It is not too far off even now to make a list of what nine
dollars could do for the old mother or father or the dear ones
for Christmas. I
f Saving is a fascinating habit when once begun.
1 Save a little time for frequent visits to this ever-
changing Store.

Such a variety of pretty shapes, and they seem especially
made to be becoming!
There are graceful picture hats with soft crowns and ostrich
tips or a bit of fur on them; rolled sailors, many with the new
mitred crowns, and perhaps a band of burnt coque feathers. Then,
for the woman who looks her best in trim tailored effects, there are
charming small turbans, many being puffed or pleated around
the brim to take away a too severe look. They have odd feather
fancies in some cases to add a certain piquancy.
All the lovely new fur colors are here, also plum, dark" blue,
plenr of black and such others as will go with the new suits and
gowns. The prices don't represent one-half of the attractiveness
of these new hats.
