■SOMETIMES it seems almost foolish to talk about the French Shop
handkerchiefs, for everyone knows just how lovely they are. But,
B"' because they are so exquisite, I can't keep away from the subject. I
pave a friend who each year purchases at least a dozen of them and,
tucking them into envelopes, sends them as little Christmas remem
brances to her far-away friends. Isn't that a pleasant custom? This
year she will have a larger assortment to choose from than ever before.
No matter what kind of handkerchiefs you desire—whether they be for
men, women or children—you will find the most attractive ones at the
French Shop. Some have colored borders, others are daintily embroidered
In colors, and still others, selling for just 35 cents, are of pure white linen
initialed or embroidered by hand. And, while we are speaking of Christ
mas handkerchiefs, let me urge you to visit the annex gift room at Miss
Swope's shop.
HAVE you walked up Second
street within the last few
days? If you have, you un
doubtedly paused to admire the won
derful display of ,pictures In the
Saltzgiver Art and Antique Store
window. The most beautiful ones
to be procured, of foreign or Amer
ican artists, are to be found at this
art store. Not only do they spe
cialize in pictures, but framing is
their hobby. Machlnemade frames
are like machinemade music, more
accurate, but lacking the human
touch and feeling—quite a differ
ence when you have to live with
them. So, why not buy your pic
tures where you not only procure
the best, but where you can also re
ceive assistance in selecting a frame
with which it will be a pleasure to
live? In other words-—why not go
to Saltsgi ver'R?
a letter from Edward the other day," remarked a middle-aged
woman of my acquaintance. "And. would you bel'eve It, that little
. . ras< ' al writes that his main reason for wanting to come home at
Christmas time is to buy a new suit at McFall's." Now, that "little rascal"
happens to be a strapping big college athlete, and in another portion of
his letter he said this: Beheve me. Mother, McFall's must be selling
some wonderful suits. Several of the fellows have written me about them
and. knowing the quality of their furnishings and hats, I have some idea
mean ttTLm7thTng. °" en Satd ' >•* Quality
A FRIEND of mine came to me
the other day wearing a dis
tressed expression and an un
■ becoming suit. "Did you ever be
fore see such a fright?" she fairly
wailed. "And to think that I spent
a small fortune on this awful thing."
I asked her what had ever induced
her to buy a garment so utterly un
suited to her type and figure. "Oh,
the clerks!" she explained. "They
almost forced It on me. I knew it
wasn't becoming, but three of them
sii iply insisted that I looked 'per
fectly stunning* In it and—well, you
know how it goes. Before I knew
What was happening, they had per
suaded me to take It, against my
better judgment." Yes, I know Just
exactly how such things occur.
That's why I recommend the Cioos
Shop, where great care is exercised
in fitting you to suit ybur type.

suggest that it isn't a bad plan to
reserve a table now?
is the song that Is
sun-g by the victims of
cramped, aching feet. For
nothing can lee more distressing
than a pair of ill-fitting shoes. And
yet hundreds of people suffer daily
just because something is wrong
with their footwear. Many working
men who stand constantly develop
chronic ailments of the feet. Such
a condition should not exist, and at
the Army and Navy Shoe .Store,
Court street, every effort Is made
to correct It. Army and Navy shoes,
fitted with care, make sore feet a
thing of the past. Built by experts,
the shoes purchased there insure

Daniels Defends War
Work oi the Y. M. C. A.
Detroit, Nov. 24. —The millions of
young Americans in uniform served
and influenced by the Y. M. C. A.
during the war will mold the future
of the nation, and the "organization
which affords the best welcome and
best aid to these coming arbiters of
national .destiny in peace will not
only be serving the men but will also
be serving mankind," Josephus Dan
iels, Secretary of the Navy, told the
fortieth International convention of
the association here to-night.
Mr. Daniels expressed appreciation
of the association's work with the
Army and Navy during the war. Two
criticisms aimed at the association's
work, he declared, should be matters
of pride. The first was as to Its
canteen work, he said, adding: It is
a record that will live—that when the
hour struck the association was
ready, equipped, and gave proof that
It had practical faith in preparedness.
"With Army help It undertook the
job, and, through it sold at less than
cost, the prices charged were neces
sarily higher than at home, and some
of the soldiers made complaint."
The second criticism, Mr. Daniels
declared, was that the Y. M. C. A.
placed religion to the fore in all its
activities with the armed service.
"That criticism is the crowning
glory of the association," maintained
the Secretary, "and when it does not
merit this criticism It will lose
dyanmic force which justifies its ex
istence. It is the power of Christian
faith and Christian service which has
made the Young Men's Christian As
sociation the greatest organized
agency for young men in the world
to-day.
