O One woman said: "Oh, if I could only allow $5 apiece S
S? for each of my thirty presents! But I cant, and a dollar-and- 5$
j a-half or two dollars at the most won't buy anything." And : JJ
K she wound up by saying: 4lI hate Christmas." ThatJJ
H woman i clearly wrong. Her spirit and feeling are wrong ; fc
S her mental attitude is wrong and her eyes are wrong. g
g This is the time of year when material things give way f
H to spiritual. It isn't the gift 'or what it costs that counts; it's J
J? the spirit in the gift. Being remembered is what brings joy, S
H not the extravagance of the remembrance. There are thous- S
H ands of gifts here for $1 and $2 as anybody who uses his S

$0.7."). Good, close, rolling silk,
and well made. They have han
dles of long pearl, with sterling
silver caps; also ivory and
buckhorn, trimmed with silver.
In the regular holiday collec

j uttivcu iNuucs wiiti mivci tic-

sorts silver aud gold in less
extravagant designs, and wood

Women's
Handkerchiefs
Here is the greatest bargain,
perhaps, we ever had in white
embroidered hemstitched hand
kerchiefs; !lc. each, or SI. 00 a
dozen ; ,10c. a half dozen for
new, fresh, perfect Handker
chiefs that usually sell for l.c.
to 2."c. each.
Not a thing wrong w'itli them
even the hem is the fine nar
row kind that everybody wants.
Don't ask us how we got
them it's enough that they're
here.
Furs
Some men are so skilled in
the feel and look of furs as to
be able to tell almost the de
grees of latitude and longitude
in which the animal lived.
It is such skill combined with
the advantages of an enormous
business, that enter into our
furs. We sell as merchants,
and arc satisfied with a mer
chant's profit. But the skill
used in the selection of our furs
is the same quality which makes
great furriers famous.
So our furs are fine skilful
ly chosen; and the prices are
at least :!." per cent, under the
market.
