December Number.

New Idea Woman's Magazine
Have you ever asked yourself, in
your quieter moments, "What was
the happiest day of my life?" A
group Of clever and celebrated women
have formed a symposium for the
December number of the New Idea
Woman's Magazine and have given
their several experiences during the
one happiest day of their lives, and
the result is exceedingly interesting.
This issue is the Christmas number.
and the spirit of the holiday season
prevails in its pages. Valuable sug-
gestions for gifts, for feasting and for
house decoration are in evidence, and
many new ideas are advanced. The
number is exceedingly rich in good
fiction and verse, and is entertaining
from cover to cover.

Only limited education is necessary
to be a good operator. Write for let
