The approach OF the holiday sea
son is denoted externally by the
decoration Of the stores. The sea
son has been unusually late this
year, and while the holiday shopping
may be said to have fairly begun
about the middle of the past week,
the dividing line between the sum
mer and autumn trade has been con
spIeueus by its absence. 1t is a
generally accepted fact that the sea
son is all of six weeks late every.
where aud the same complaints are
made from all the larger cities.
1t is not alone the decorations OF
the stores that are ingenious, though
they are far ahead oil those OF any
former year in the past decade. but
each merchant seems to have been
fortunate in securing the best OF
Christmas stocks. Everything that
is new. picturesque, and unique
from Europe, America and far off
Asia has been brought together for
the benefit of the holiday shopper.
The shopping mania is now on
and will grow and wax warmer and
warmer until Christmas week, when
it will reach fever heat, and the eli

reason for complaint are the sales.

the curtain falls on the great drama
on Christmas night.
No crowd is more noteworthy or
more interesting than the crowd of
holiday shoppers that will throng
the streets from now on until the
last horn is footed on Christmas
morning. II is always heterogen-
eous; men and women in every walk
of life jostle and shove each other,
each endeayoring to see all that is
placed artistically, in the show win
dows to catch their eyes and to
cause them to step inside and then
to purchase. Young and old, rich
and poor, JOIN in the scramble which
thrills the nerves and sends the
blood rushing madly, gladly, through
it's channels.
Novelties are everywhere and for
the two weeks at least, love will
rule the roost and young and old,
forgetting all else, will icin in the
carnival of gifts giving that glad
dens the hearts OF all and fills one
with that sense of goodness that is
experienced but once year.

In the Old Home.

They are left alone in the dear old
home,
After so many years.
When the house was full of frolic and
fun,
OF childish laughter and tears.
They are left alone they two--once
morei
Beginning life over again,
Just as they did in the days of yore,
Before they were nine or ten.
And the table is set for two these DAYS
The children went one by one,
Away from home on their separate
ways,
When the childhood days were done
How healthily hungry they used to be
What romping they used to do!
And mother-for weeping-can hardly
see
To set the table for two.
All, well alb, WE'LL tits the way OF the
world
Children stay but little while,
And then into other scenes are whirled,
Where other homes beguile.
But it matters not how far they roam.
Their hearts are fond and true,
And there's hever home like the dear
old home.
Where the table is set for two.
