Christmas presents. You oan buy toys
or cheap presents and you can also buy
a floe suit, silk bat, seal skin sacque,
gold watch, diamond ring, cut glass,
china dishes, bed room suit, in fact most
anything you desire. Visit the stores,
see the goods, patronize tbe borne
merchants and be happy.

entertainment. Varied costumes were
worn by the boys, among them being
military uniforms, 10th century court
costumes, cardinal college gowns and

even better than tbe vocal.
