A WORD TO WOrlEN.

While it is often a difficult matter
to decide on the best thing to give a
at Ghrstmas tm me- the difficulty tht
ancient libel against mankind, s"You
can best reach a man through his
stomach" This suggests that you
please man best when you have adj
ded to his comfort. Hence the adviSa-
bility of consulting specialists in mems
conf rts-Meigs & Co.-who provide
everything man land boy wears from
head to foot. Indeed, Meigs & Co. s
store is veritable encyclopedia of sug-
gestions for puzzled women, and Wis
it there will readily solve the ques-
tion of what to give to husband, broth
er, father or son.
