HOLIDAY TIMES.
Beautiful Articles Suitable for Christmas and
New Years Gifts.

The holiday season is yearly becoming
more attractive, because of the constant eff
forts making to produce beautiful articles
suitable for friends 20 give as mementoes Of
love and esteem. There seems to be no limit
to the taste and inventive powers of those
who devote themselves to this work. Dur
ing his receut visit to the east, Mr.. II. 8.
stackpole purchased quite large and very
excellent assortment of fine holiday goods,
which he has this week Laid upon his count
ers, and which he offers to the public at very
reasonable rates. The display is fine one,
and is worth examination by erybody,
even If there il no intention Of purchasing.
In the stock are a good variety of handsome
toilet cases, lined in silk, satin and other rich
goods, the cases being of various styles and
quite convenient, and The articles enclosed
being of ceIIuIoid, hard rubber, ETC., several
of The sets being aItistically ornamented.
Several SEES of exquisite perfume cases match
the toilet sets, while there are numerous
glove and handkerchief boxes in plush,
velvet, silk and fancy woods. There are
number of stylish card cases, as well as
ladies' bags and portemonnais, while the
work boxes are so beautiful that we fear the
recipients will spend mole time in admiring
them than in using the worrying little instru-
ments enclosed. The supply Of Christmas
and New Years cards is fairly large and var
led. These charming little Souvenirs OF
friendship should be more used than they
have been heretofore. They ale not costly,
are very pretty, and frequently will give as
much pleasure as would a far more expen-
sive present. There are many other articles
/, in this department, neao, rich, tasty, that
will cause happiness both 20 the giver and
receiver.
Books and pictures are always acceptable
presents, and mutual friends can give and re-
ceiye them without that hesitation that some
times accompanies gifts of jewelry or Other

The best advice we can give you, therefore
is TO call al S,ackpole & Co.'S and give thei
holiday goods an examination. You'1 b
welcome there, even if you DOM buy
