That la the question that Is agitating the hearts of half tha young women In the country these days. A great man/ girls hare written asking my advice on the subject It Is Impossible to answer all their letters, but perhaps this article may give them a few suggestions. In the first place, the whole value of a present lies In Its suitability. There la no sense In glvlpg a book to a man who never reads, nor a tobacco pouch to a man who does not smoke. It Is bad taste to spend a great deal of money on a present to a man whom you know but slightly. In fact. It Is foolish to give a man a present at all unless you know him well. Jf a man takes pride Jn making bis room pretty and artistic you ran al ways give him something to add to It. A picture, a cushion, a pipe tray, or any of the thousand and one little trifles that the shops are full of. If you are skillful with your needle and have a good pattern, a pretty necktie Is always a nice gift. Neck mufflers and gloves are useful and acceptable, especially the fur-lined gloves that one sees so many of now adays. • , If your friend Is of a studious turn of mind hts Christmas present Is very easily decided upon, as the shops are full of books that are both delightful and cheap. Don't let your gift be of too friehdly ar.d Informal a nature unless you are engaged to a tiyrn. For Instance, a shaving set would not do at all for any but a relative or a fiance.. Remember that a man will be apt to judge a girl by the kind of a gift she sends him. If it Is extravagant or In poor taste he cannot help thinking the lees of her for sending It. A gift that sh/ws discrimination and friendly thought will always be appreciated. If you are engaged to the mrfn a set of brushes will be. a nice gift, or lintf a dozen handkerchiefs with his Initials embroidered oh them. ~ A leather card case, a bill folder, a hat brush, match box or stamp box will mnke a suitable and Inexpensive gift. A fountain pen or a silver lead- pencil will also be gratefully received by the average man. If you know a man but slightly and yet wish to send him the season's greetings, a pretty card or calendar will be quite sufficient. Don't spend more than you can afford to on your presents. •Remember that It Is the spirit, not the value of the gift that counts. Choose your gifts wisely with a view to their usefulness as well as beau ty, and remember not to spend so much on a man as to males him feel un- .comfortable and under an obligation to you. • Pay After Be sensible in gift giving—buy useful things —buy things that serve a purpose—Buy Cloth ing, Hats, Shoes, Furs—Buy what you want right here on the easiest of easy terms at cash store prices—64 Stores—Factory to (CHRISTMAS you—Twice over the Largest Credit Clothiers in the World Some Sensible Gifts Men's and Boys' Overcoats, Men’s and Boys’ Saits, Men’s and Boys’ Hats and Shoes.

"Cheer up!" remarked a Poodle Dog .who lay before the Are; •'You have a swell apartment. What more-should bears desire?" Then, with a most disdainful snort nnd eke a scornful stare, ''You’re talking like a sausage!" said the little Teddy Bear. “Now listen!” he continued, ts the Dog essayed to speak. “You ride with Baby's mother every morning In the week. She takes you to the matinee, she takes you through the park, She takes you calling on her friends and keeps you out till dark, She dresses you In velvet boots and rufllea made of silk, She stakes you several times a day lo bonbons, rakes and milk. Baby stays at home with me, In some Swede nursemaid's car No wonder we are lonesome!” said the little Teddy Bear. Sometimes the mother sees ue for'a moment after tea; ibo lets the Baby kies her once and never looks at me. I'm not puffed up with family pride, I keep no family log, But any well-bred Bear should class above a Poodle Dog. And as for Baby—bless her heart! — that Baby's got you bent As far an from the Bowery to the shining Judgment Seat. And It, at last, the mother doesn't meet her Baby there, Keep her—I'll stick to Baby!" said the little Teddy Bear. OPERA GLASSES Not only make a handsome gift, but one of lasting usefulness.
