Practica Holiday Gifts for Sensible The buyer of Trinkets, Bric-a-Brae, Toys, etc., for Christmas Preseuts, need be in uo special hurry in fill ing their needs. But it's different with those who taUe that practical view of life aud its good things, which turns their generosity into channels through which the recipient not only gets something that's pretty and useful, but something that is of real benefit and ser vice every day iu the year. There's usually some work or little finishing touch to be done on gifts of this clase before they a"re turned over to their final owner. That takes time and suggests early buying.
