Headquarters
We have made great preparations for the
Christmas Holiday Trade. Our Store is
Chock full of everything for the little folks
and the grown-ups too, consisting of Dolls,
Doll Beds, Doll Carriages,, Tea Sets, Pict
ure Books, Pictures, Balls, Horns, Trains,
Bicycles, Tricycles, Drums, Wagons, Wind

fact any and everything imaginable to make
a suitable Christmas Gift and make the lit
tle tots happy for Christmas. All are rea
sonably priced.
Make this store your headquarters; we
have what you want.
thing Intangible, the whole-souled
word of greeting to the old lady In
a shawl who sells you your paper,
or the smll of comradeship which you
give the conductor who punches your
ticket, or the elevator man who takes
you up to your office (fellow workers
all). It Is not giving that counts, not
the bestowal of something valued In
dollars and cents, the transference of
something from your hand to anoth
er’s. That Is a purely mechanical
process, which may or may not cre
ate happiness. No; It Is the longing
to give, the desire to be the cause of
another’s happiness.
To wish to help others Is* the oldest
passion In the world —even a little
older than the impulse to overcome
others. And It Is the deathless pas
sion as well. It needs no Christmas
day to keep it alight, but as long as
Christmas continues to provide fuel to
make the flame of good fellowship
burn brighter, that day will continue
to be the richest 24 hours in all the
year.

Santa Claus’
Books
WHEN the evening shadows gather
and the time Is eight o'clock
You can hear, if you will listen, Mr
Sand Man's gentle knock.
Then you’d better hustle lively -time your
evening prayers were said
And each boy and girl well tucked In
their cory. downy little bed.
For when Mr. Sand Man’s knocking
sounds the signal, you may know
Santa Claus Is closely watching from his
palace built of snow.
And the children that are naughty and
don't mind their ma's and pa's
Get their names down In the “Bad Book”
that Is kept by Santa Claus.
Boys who never split the kindling, and
the girls who always cry
When they’re asked to wash the dishes—
Santa Claus has got his eye
On such boys and girla, and watches with
a sad ar.d soiiy look
As he wrires each name in sorrow on the
pages of his book.
And the girl who never hurries, but lets
mamma do the work,
And the boy who's always scheming all
his little chores to shirk—
They may think no one pays notice when
they dor. t help ma’s and pa’a
But their names are on the “Bad Book”
that Is kept by Santa Claus.
But old Santa keeps a "Good Book"—lt’s
the bestest book of all,
Where he writes the names of children
who are prompt at duty's call,
And the boys who split the kindling and
\ the girls who never shirk
But rise early In the morning and help
mamma with the work;
And the boys who never grumble when
there's work for them to do.
And the girls who help their mammas
till the housework Is all through—
Oh, they needn’t ever worry when It’s
Christmas time, because
All their names are In the ’’Good Book”
that Is kept by Santa Claus.
Is your name down In the “Bad Book?”
Well, there Is still a chance for you.
And If you will listen to me. I will tell
you what to do.
Don’t act naughty, don’t talk rudely, don't
be noisy, be polite;
Get up early In the morning, and into bed
early at night.
Cheerfully perform each duty, do your
work before you play.
Never put off till tomorrow work that
should be done today.
If you do these things, dear children.
It will please your ma’s and pa's.
And your names go In the “Good Book”
that is kept by Santa Claus.

Decorate the
Christmas Package
EVERY one when sending a Christ
mas gtft desires It to appear aa at
tractive us possible. When we re
ceive u gift nicely wrapped with tis
sue paper and decorated with pretty
Christmas seals, there Is an added
pleasure. This is especially so when
we realize that the sender has spent
time and cleverness to give this little
touch of personal thoughtfulness.
Many varieties of Christmas seals
may be purchased, but a little original
ity will not come amiss even in these
small details.
There are seals for the outside
package and the heading to be used
on the note paper, conveying the good
wishes of the giver, or on the little
card of greeting. These two In each
set match. This gives another touch
of the unusual, which Is always sought
after.
Have a piece of carbon paper, place
it over the note paper, card or seal,
and on top of this one of the designs.
Carefully trace with a sharp pencil
the entire outline. An exact duplicate
of the design will be found on the
note paper or seal ready for tinting.
This may be easily done with water
colors or wax crayons. Polnsettia
should he colored a warm, bright red.
with yellow centers and dark green
stems.
Holly, the special emblem of this
season, has berries of vivid, fiery red
and glossy leaves of dark green.
* A dainty basket of forget-me-nots
would be pretty colored yellow, the
Iflftweta a faint light blue and the bow
kpot of pale pink. Now we huve the
hlystfc sign of the holidays, borrowed
from, the Druids, the mistletoe. The
berries of this plant are a pearly
white and the leaves a yellowish green.
Spend a little extra time giving the
Christmas gift this novel decoration,
and the pleasure it afford* will never
cause you to regret having done so.
Economy Is to be considered at
Christmas time. Our purse-strings
hnve bpen stretched to the breaking
point purchasing gifts for relatives
nnd friends. To put this fascinating
bit of handiwork upon the Christmas
package costs comparatively nothing,
aside from the time you spend
doing It. This fact founts very little
when we add to the enjoyment of
others.
These few suggestions will probably
cause endless ideas for the Christmas
package to present them selves to you.
Make your gifts radiate the holiday
spirit; give this little bit of [retsonnlity
and attractiveness to as small a thing
as the Christmas seal.
HOW UNKIND
“Fred is getting nearsighted.”
“It doesn’t follow that there Is
anything the matter with his eyes
because he can’t see one under the
mistletoe.”
Christmas Packages.
A woman whose Christmas pack
ages never fall to reach their destina
tion In safety says she always writes
the name and address of the recipient
upon the Inside wrapper of the box
containing them. Packages sometimes
lose their outside wrappings, but if
the postal clerks can find the address
on the inside wrapping all will be
well. This woman also ties up the In
side wrapping securely before putting
on the outside cover.
