THINGS TO BUY FOR
THE HOLIDAYS.

Large Assortment from which
Christmas shoppers May Choose.
The stores of Savannah are taking
on a distinctly holiday appearance ana
the windows, especially those along
Broughton street, are beginning to be
decked in holiday attire. There is a
great variety of goods displayed this
year and those seeking suitable Christ
mas gifts should have little trouble
finding just what they want.
The display of articles from Wnich
the children's hearts may be delight
ed is large. Many Of them are dis
tinct novelties. one of the largest
in this line is the automobile ms
is a small tin toy, on which two hg-
ures are seated. By winding up q
spring and then releasing it the "au-
tomobile" begins running, turning cor
ners, etc, like a real auto. The an
ticts of the two figures in their APP
parent efforts to turn the different lev
ers is very amusing and life-like.
There is the usual large display OF
dolls for the little girls. The dolls
are of all kinds and sizes. They are
sleeping dolls, talking dolls and just
the plain old favorites. The materials
differ all the way from cloth to the
ture pianos small bed room and par
lor suites, and all manner of doll
house furnishings.
For the boys there is the usual
martial display. Drums of all sizes
are stored about the display windows
and around them are bugles and many
different sizes of horns. Miniature
muskets of all descriptions are scat
tered picturesquely about the Win
dnxVC q nd than fOtInd sew
eral specimens of the air-rifie. There
is an unusual abundance of games of
all descriptions, and many that are
entirely new this year.
For the older people there are also
many novelties and many handsome
specimens of the standard gifts.
The greater part of the novelties
are in the form of jewelry. Watch
fobs with fraternity charms, are APP
pearing for the men, and all varieties
of hat pins, indicative of sports of
all kinds, for the ladies. In the display
of dishes and cutglass ware there is
also good variety.
Many articles for comforts sake
have also put in an appearance. Some
of them appear particularly attrac-
tive in that there is a very suggestive
touch of cosy warmth about them.
Dealers are expecting a large sale of
these goods and accordingly have or
dered a large supply.
Many other novelties have been or
dered but they will not put in an APP
pearance until nearer the time for ac-
tive Christmas buying to commence.
One dealer stated that judging from
the catalogues sent him and from the
samples shown by agents, that it was
safe to say that never before had such
elaborate preparations for Christmas
shoppers been made by the large houses
of the country.
In the book stores there is also large
array of new books and magazines.
The majority of the books have the
most elegant bindings and are made
of the best materials throughout. Near
ly all the Christmas numbers of the
different popular magazines have ar
rived, and these are now used in max
ing the window display. In the art
stores several novelties have appeared.
and there is a large array of new
paintings and many of the old favorites.
The pen and ink work of the best
known artists is also appearing in pro-
fusion.
