All our Christ- mas stocks have been b brought to 8 light, and many little ¢ o nvenien- ces have been inau- gurated - to make your shopping more pleasant. Our people are ready, and we have, we believe strengthened our organ- ization at many points, so that we can promise even better service than usual. A great many of the more unique and exclusive Christ- mas gifts are here in limited quantities, and as most of these come from across the ocean, when they are gone we cannot promise to have any more ready for you. It therefore behooves you to start your Christmas shop- ping early. Early in the sea- son—early in the day.

What joy the author of the “Roundabout * Papers"” — or any other lover of the old and the unusual — would find in this “delightful gathering of everything.” Here are uncommon pieces of farniture, delicate art ob- jects, unique lamps and can- dlesticks and a thousand things smaller and more per- sonal as well as larger and more momentous. All these quaint and for- eign objects, found after keen seeking in far-away places, form a “Gift” corner of unusual attractiveness. Such things as give rare dis- tinction to one’s home and make unmatchable gifts for one's friends. Burgess-Nash Co.—Third Floor.
