The Holiday festivities will be unusually brilliant this year,
as peace and victory have supplanted the grim shadow of war.
Dainty frocks for formal and semi-formal occasions are rap
idly emerging from the workrooms of the manufacturers that
have been producing the less elaborate garments of war-time
days.
Imagine a fancy tinted tulle, draped over silver cloth and
tinted fabrics. The gleam of metallic laces in silver and gold,
a touch of roval blue and angel sleeves of filmy tulle. A dainty
creation at $29.50.

If you cannot find what you want on the six large

There you will find the closing-out sale of Henry Gilbert
& Son's high-grade stock of holiday novelties. And
bear in mind, these novelties were purchased long before
the war; consequently, of the highest grade workman
ship and material, minus the high war prices that be- >
came effective on similar merchandise later. Prices are'
especially low. Also a complete line of Toys sold there.
