It Was a Floodtide of Goodwill
That Flowed in
upon us on Saturday last.
Truly it was a great day to be at home,
and keep open house for such a happy
throng from city and country.
The Christmas at which the angels sang
r i two thousand years ago still lives in those
who have been born since, and it surely is in
ithe thousands of babies, two, three and four
years old, who with their mothers last week
came with deepening smiles on their faces
and great joy in their hearts.
The lack of selfishness is the chief charm
of these" Christmas days.
Now and then there is a little group on a side
aisle, and one overhears a man say, "Oh, yes,,Billie
must come home and spend Christmas. What if he
did make a mistake in going away; I will send him a
telegram that his room is still as he left if, and he is
expected at the Christmas night dinner, and that his
father will not take no for an answer."
And there's a little girl nearby, not related, but
wants to be, who says, "Billie never was a bad boy,
only impulsive," as we all are sometimes."
Let's forgive and'forget and make this Christmas
time the best of all.

Six Collars a Year
for the "Old Man!"
(And What Will His Christmas Be?)
There appeared in the newspapers, the other day, an
estimate of the minimum needs'of a family of five for a
year, and among the items for clothing the husband and
father was an allowance of six collars a year.
It is possible that the expert statisticians knew of
some way in which a man might make six collars last a
year, but they did not take the public into their confidence.
It seemed to be accepted that it was "Dad's" business to
deny himself. ,
But there are a great many families in which "Dad's"
unselshness is appreciated, and whose members look' for
ward happily to the opportunity Christmas affords to
make it up tovln'm. And these people know that there is
nothing he will like better than the things he has been
denying himself. Such
as-
Suits, $32 to $80.
Overcoats, $40 to $100.
Shirts, $2.50 to $15.
Neckties, 05c to $4.
Hats, $5 to $12.
Gloves, $2.75 to $11 a pair.
Handkerchiefs, $6 to $3G
dozen. '
And many other useful things in the Men's Outfitting Stores.
Half hose, 35c, three pair for
$1, to $G a pair.
Underwear, 85c a garment to
$15 for a union suit.
Shoes, $7 to $17.
Silk mufflers, $4 to $20.
House coats, $7.50 to $35.
Dressing gowns, $20 to $85.
Sweaters, $5 to $15.

Good Furniture Is the Only Furniture
Worth Giving
We have an idea that we have gathered here
the best collection of gift-worthy furniture any
body can choose from.
It abounds in moderately priced gifts of 'much
attractiveness, such for instance as the "Pris
cilla" sewing box at $8.50 or a tilt-top table at
$11.75. But if you are thinking of a more substan
tial gift, say for some person of years, the field of
selection presented by our stock of uphlstered fur
niture is splendid.
Here are fireside chairs, great upholstered
easy chairs and rockers, uniting all that is prac
tical, stable and luxurious.
Many of these pieces were made in our own
workshops with the purpose of producing better
kinds. We believe the purpose is realized in them.
A gift of a piece of Wanamaker upholstered furni
ture is a gift for the years.
