peaple last winter are missed this time
one such chap only has been noted where
last Christmas score or more piled their
trade on the down town sidewalks Posi-
bly, the candy stores, which never before
were so attractive have discouraged the
men.

HOLIDAY CROWDS.
The holiday crowds seem as largo as
as usual this year and the Christmas
shops for the most part seem 10 have as
much trade as In former seasons. The
general impression gained from n random
walk about one OF the largest stores is
that the crowds this year are more look
ing at and inquiring about crowds than
they are buying and having sent home
crowds.
One OF the most gratifying tendencies
this year is that towards the common
purchase OF books. The offerings of the
great publishing houses are more enticing
than ever before The hest in print Is OBJ
tanning this year At prices so low that
they seem incredulous People are appre-
ciating the fact and they are buying
freely OF the book men, passing by the less
practical and more showy articles OF wan
ing popularity.
As modest prophesy II may be said In
conclusion that this Christmas is 70 he
strkingly a Christmas Of books. pictures
and articles Of tried utility--a Christmas
having all the charm and JOY OF former
Christmases together with q touch OF the
practical about il that should make at all
the mere valuable as n holiday.
