"Chrlstmns comes but once a ycnr,"
remarked the Intly wlie presides ever
the neckwear, "and It's n geed thlnjc
for us girls that it don't reme any
eftcner. Yes, ina'm, that tie Is an
elegant piece of goods; pure China

The vanguard of the Inrt-mlnute
shoppers made their first attack shortly
after 0 o'clock this morning. Streng
skirmishing parties effected an en
trance into the stores as Boen as the
doers opened, and deployed right and
left in battle formation.
They were followed by a large sup
porting force, which In turn was aug
mented by reinforcements that poured
Inte the city en every train, trolley and
ferryboat.
"This ain't nothing," continued the
lady at the necktie counter. "Wait
till this afternoon. Save yourself,
dearie; you'll need your strength."
On every face In greater or less de
gree there is an expression peculiar
te the Christmas season, an abstracted,
vague leek, an appearance of inward
concentration and hopeful expectancy,
which sas mere clearly than nny
werds: "frhat, WHAT, shall I glve
them?"
Te hoIve this difficulty, the pcrplcxcfl

there is the very thing for Aunt Emily,
and that particular problem is laid

Te push a penny right through the
coat slece may bound impossible, but
it Is really qulte easy te de if you have
an extra penny. The duplicate 13 slipped
between the buttons en the outside of
the coat sleeve. That part of the Mecve
is carefully kept from view. Anether
penny is deliberately dropped down in
to the sleeve. Then the ether hand
reaches In bnck and pretends te draw
the coin through, really securing the
duplicate and bringing It out for in
fection. Ne hole can be found in the
cloth, which will cnuse feerae surprise.

This tee is the time at which the
truffle; pelluemcn nwiulrc n new supply
of gray hairs. Net only must they
cope with an unprecedented volume of
traffic, but their most vigilant atten
tion Is required te keep ladles with
bundles from stepping unwnrlly into
the seething maelstrom of Christmas
transportation.
Then tliere are always n number of
persons who never, under ordinary cir
cumstances, attempt te drive a car
in the downtown traffic, but who brave
the terrors of the central shopping dis
trict In order te hnve home means of
getting their numerous bundles nnd
packages home In n hurry. These hap
less individuals nre the ones who make
the traffic officer's life n burden te him.

"Say, lady," explains the tried
minion of the law, with admirable re
straint, "you can't go up there. That
Is n one-wny street."
"Well," responds the lady haught
ily, "I am only going ene way."
And se the battle continues, and will
continue until the last shop is closed
tonight nnd the last shopper has home
ward pled his weary way. It la as
much a part of our modern Christmas
as tiie toys and tne Uiiristmas tree, a
condition which hns Its root in ne'less
authoritative a source than the frail
ties of human nature.
"Yes, ma'am," nays the lady et the
neckwear, weary but pleasant te the
lust, "he can have it exchanged If lie
doesn't like it. Fifty, seventy-five, one
dollar. Thank you and the same te
you."
