a gift quarter; a place where
Just a little use is made the
vehicle for a great deal of
luxury. 1t is full now; full
of wonders; full Of pretty
things; full of silly things;
full of surprises; full of what
Enobody expects; full of what
everybody expects; full, as it
has been full near Christmas
time before. s's.-

tire of the store, next north
are two counters, One Of
them very large, and one
half as large, filled to over
flowing with perfumeries and
other toilet articles and
implements. We positively
must not begin to mention
names, nor even classes.
The only way to get away
from these miraculous things
| is to break away.
T. Next northwest is a col
lection Of small things that
people used to luxury will
recognize under the name
smallleather articles. About
the biggest thing there is a
portfolio or writing-case.
Pocketbooks are the com
monest. so But such pocket
books! Oh, yes you can
get good substantial pocket
books there, with not a cen,

SO many people didn't buy
albums last year, when we
brought over a ship-load
almost? There's a new set
of people this year, may be.
At least the photographers
haven't gone out of business.
At this end are velvet
frames; yonder are. boxes
of leather and plush. You
can pay $50 for a box that a
touch will spoil. Don't sup

Brass and bronze! Oh,
see the mob of brasses and
bronzes. Open your die
