SPLENDID shopping weather, just crisp enough to render active exercise agreeable and .healthful, and at the same time to stimulate the already gen. orally manifested disposition to make the coming holiday celebration one of usual brilliancy. The storekeepers are of course delighted. They never looked more pleased. Smiles wreathe their countenances as they note the rapid dis appearance from their shelves and counters of holiday wares, that no doubt afford them good profits, fea- ture of the case that, of course, adds to their pleasure. Early buyers are the smart ones. They not only have better opportunities for selection, having the complete stock to select from, but being also less hampered by the crowds that throng the stores as the holidays ap. proach. We advise all who can do SC to make their purchases early. There can be no mistake as to the soundness of this advice. The experienced ones
