The souson'is coming For memory's test— To think in gift-giving Of all we love best; Of friends and relations, Of those we hold dear, That in our remembrance Each one will appear. Jut they're not the sole ones We should not forget; More claim on our feeling Appeals to us yet, For asking a sharing There come to our door, The suffering and friendless, The sick and the poor. Above all, the children! Ah, do not condemn The voice of their pleadings— Make joyful for them This season of giving, That whate’er you do For them, will but double’ God's hlessings to you. —Josh Wink. * * , The Vain Dream. Possibly [ cannot use this space Letter than by reprinting the fol- lowing verse by Berton Braley—a veritable excoriation of our habits of | * today: When 1 have time, amid my myriad duties, I shall go forth and breathe the country air, 1 shall drink deep of nature’'s many beauties, 2 And 1 shall smile on mortals ev- erywhere. When T have time T shall give leash to pity And succor those amid the grit and grime, 1 shall bring joy to sad folk of the city When I have time. When I have time and life is not so hurried I shall be pleasant to each soul Iy meet, No little thing shall get my temper flurried, I shall be patient, and sweet. tender, calm Now by a thousand duties I am hal- tered, My frown is grim, my anger prone to climb, Tut all his ugliness will soon be al- tered When I have time. When I have time to snatch away from labor I shall give thought to other & things than pelf, I shall deal squarely, kindly, with my neighbor And treat him as I'd have him treat myself, When I have time (what visions 1 am seeing Of life that shall be lovely as a rime) I'm busy NOW—I'll be a human be- ing, When | have time.

The \Woman's Missionary society of the Methodist church met yester- ! day afternoon and held a very inter- | esting meeting. Officers for the com- ing year were to have been elected, but on account of the small attend- ance, due to the weather conditions, this matter of importance was post- poned until the next meeting. * * * Daughters of the Confederacy Meet Thursday Afternoon. The regular monthly meeting of the Daughters of the Confederacy will be held Thursday afternoon at 3 o'clock at the home of Mrs. A. H. Darracott. The regular annual election of of- ficers takes place at this meeting, and all members are urged to attend. The report of the delegate to the national convention will be read and as Mrs. Darracott saw much of in- terest while away, her report will be both entertaining and instructive. * * * Ladies Desire Nameg 0f Unprovided for Children.

This news, taken iu connection with the fact that prices of pelts of almost every sort are soaring, makes ome fairly gasp at the amount of money fashion- able women are forced to spend on their winter furs. Next to the increased size of fur pieces this season, the most striking thing about the new fur creations is the combinations. There are almost no coats made of one fur throughout Coats of seal have beaver, fox or sable collars, and coats of pony have seal Opera wrap of brocaded wool, with the fashlonable low armhole and a novel way of fastening the collar. or sable collars, and the newest muffs and scarfs are made of two contrast- ing furs. In fact, any combination of furs is the thing this year. There are, however, exceptions to this rule, and several women of fashion have or dered costly all-ermine coats for eve- ning wear this winter. These ermine coats, by the way, while being anything but bulky, are wonderfully full, and can be fairly wound about the figure. They are masterpieces of the furrier's skill, but it costs no less than twenty-five hun- dred dollars to own one of these new ermine wraps. It may be said, how: every, to the comfort of those who bought fur coats last season or the season before, that there i8 very little radical change in the cut of the more serviceable fur coats this season, and that, except for the addition of a con- trasting collar, your caracul, scal or pony coat of last season will need Do alterations whatever. Ermine will be very fashionalle this year, especially in combination with moleskin and various black furs. Er- mine and moleskin are considcicd the most suitable evening furs, although, of course, sable—known also us zibe- line—is always appropriate at any time. Moleskin, although some 8- thoritles say its day has passed, 18 80 graceful and pliable that it will still hold its own. Natural color caracul is anothcr one of the season’s fagicies. A beautiful muff recently displayed in a I'ifth ave: nue window was of black fox, banded on the edge and through the middle ‘with natural color caracul. With black fur this caracul in its natural hue i8 exceedingly effective. The furs used for mourning are pre: eminently lynx, with broad-tail and monkey next in favor. Althouzh none of the furs of a brownish hue are con- sidered suitable for mourning, mole- skin is considered most appropriate for half mourning this year. The most fitting furs for children are squirrel and beaver, the more ex- pensive fu:s being considered hardly in good form for the youngsters. Aside from the usual sale of fur muffs, collars and cloaks of various descriptions, there will be an enor mous amount of fur trimming used this year. Most of the diaphanous evening gowns will have fur trim- ming, and the exquisite evening Wraps, of brilllant brocaded silks and chif- fons, are frequently edged with sable or ermine. Millirers, too, never better use of fur. The season’s hats sometimes show two furs charmingly combined. Small fur bags, to match cost or muf?, are to be used this year. Most of the bags are envelope shape, with H [ cm——— <y - i ". Orange Blossom Div. No. 499 ¢ G. L.

When a watch is repaired or sold we record the make, style, prmber ete, of the watch and place a private number in the case for future reference, It is with pride that 1 venoit in the four and three-quarter vears that [ have been in Lakeland that we bave repaired and sold (together) the above number of watches, 10,000, just think of how rany that is. We make no rec rd of small repairs like crystals, hands, ete. This is a record that we are proud of and one that you will seldom find. Among the first day’s work was Mr. H. J. Drane's watch and Mr. R. M. Marler hos the 10,000 record. The farmer did not sit down and wait for the cow to come back up and be milked, and 1 did not sit down and wait for business to come. | have ADVERTISED and hustled for it and wish to thank the general public for their patronage and assure them that the larger we grow the better we will try to serve you, not only in the watch line but in all others as my CHRISTMAS STOCK this year will be much larger, and with prices better than ever if that is possible.
