the Convinced Hus-
band.

She says-"You remember the trou-
BILE we had last year-how all the
prettiest things were gone-how I was
worried and how you said was fool
ish to put off selections until so late.
Let me be wise this year. The Palais
Royal Holiday Opening occurs to-
morrow You must give me my
Christmas Present money now. w.......
Let meshow you the long list of arti-
cles advertised in THE TINES.
The Souvenir Prices will save me con-
Siderable if 1 make selections during
the coming Opening week"
The husband cannot resist the logic
of his wife's remarks and to resist the
fair arms around his neck and plead

and so our X-Rays view is of scene
that will occur in very many homes
today.
