Joy and Pleasure.

visible all manner of evidences that
Yule tide is near at hand. EVERYBODY
is busy getting presents ready to glad
den the heart of friend and relative,
and as a result the stores are doing a
good business in the sale of holiday
goods. Never before in the history of
Princeton have the merchants made
such fine displays of goods for the holt
days, and in every store of any impor-
lance there are tempting displays of
toys and Christmas goods of all de-
scriptions. The year has been pros
porous one, and especially so to farm
ers, and as result the merchants are
doing larger business than ever be-
fore in the holiday line
Some of the window and interior dis
plays made by the Princeton merchants
are very striking and catchy and are
indeed very creditable. Drug stores
always have a holiday air about them
at Christmas time, and both of the
Princeton stores are verita BILE holiday
emporiums. The window display made
by G. A. Jack is neat and attractive.
The background resembles the lattice
work and curtain-draped windows of a
charming villa. Surrounding the top
and running across the entire width
of the window, is bar of latticework
from which are prettily draped
white curtains, and so arranged that
on each end are two diamond-shaped
windows, and between these two is a
large center window or opening, the
whole making very pretty bit of
draping. The curtains are trimmed
with holly in an artistic way and at
the top is a large wreath of holly.
The entire decoration is in white and
with innumerable holiday goods of all
descriptions neatly displayed the win
dow would do credit to any city store.
Mrs. Jack designed the display and
completed it.
At the Princeton drug store Gus
