EVERYONE HAS BUNDLES

Shoppers are taking advantage Of this
week.
Although many persons start their
Christmas shopping just after Thanks
giving, ard few Of the very astute pick
up bargains here and there during the
whole year, with the prospect Of the holi-
day season in mind, by far the greatest
number leave all their purchasing until
a few days before the day of days.
Hence the congested condition Of Mar
ket and, in fact, all the thoroughfares
in the business section of the city.
Everyone carries bundles and the major
ity Of the faces wear an expression OF
anxiety, lest the precious burdens meet
with disaster.
In the big stores the statesmen and
women each seem to be supplied with
hundreds of pairs Of hands. The young.
stcrs enjoy this part Of the Christmas
season almost as much az the actual re-.
ceiving Of presents. Each has his or iiel
little purse, the contents of which us,l
ally represent months of saving--a cent

gravity Of the youngsters in making thell
purchases is irresistible. The good,
