tractive Stock of Holiday Goods,

The annual holiday window display
of Geo. K. Stifel q, Co, is a pronounced

Illustrated book Of Mother Goose $
rbvmes. with tiny characters TO
represent the nursery favoutes. IL IS
a beautiful representation of the house
that Jack built and while Jack is not
personally in evidence. his architecture
al and constructive skill are beyond
criticism. The house is covered with
moss and liChel, and surrounded by @
miniature forest. The illusion is car
ried out by live animals, pigeon,
ROSTERS and a cat. as well as several
mechanical TOW animals Mother Goose
is brought ND to date by the introduce
ton of q family of Brownies who are
scattered about the forest. 1t is sum-
mer scene. with a very tasteful dis
play of ivy and moss. 1t Is the work
of Moore & Co., of Belcher, Mass, dec
Grating artists. who came all the way
from New England to arrange the dis
play.
