The Advantage
Of Getting Mems
Presents Here

II all depends your intentions II the man TO
whom your present is to 90 is father, a brother,
relative a good friend. you will not think that
the best for the money YOU afford 10 spend will
be too good for him. But ii the present you give
is under the pressure of an unpleasant obligation,
you may not care particularly whether you get the
best or not
The advantage of getting mems presents here
is that YOU do get the best.
Suppose YOU want $50 Shirt, $50 pair OF
Gloves Shirt Studs. Scarf Pin pair OF Cuff
Liuks-Our prices the same prices that you
would pay anywhere but as We carry the best quail
lily OF goods and none but the late, correct styles,
you really get more for your money here.
The patterns and styles we carry arc those worn
by men who know the correct thing in dress hence.
in buying articles for presents with which you may
not be thoroughly familiar. the safest way is to buy

CHRISTMAS IN WEST INDIES
How the Darkies of the Antilles Ceie-
brate the Holiday.

Christmas in the West Indies is a
very jovial, rollicking affair-at least
in the estimation of the darkies. The
great feature of the season is the Sc
ries of masquerades or mystery plays
enacted by strolling negro performers.
These are of two sorts. Representa-
tons Of such biblical stories as that of
David and Goliath--when o may see
the dramatis personae clad in such his
torically accurate garments as bed
tick" trouserS and cretonne coats of
flaming p~attern-and those OF a purely
local character. OF these last is the
mongoose play, which is peculiar to St.
Kits, and the object Of which is to
wage mimic war against the d~estruc-
tive pest which is the curse OF the
island. These strolling players are the
chief features of Christmas celebra-
tons.
They are quite an imposing lot of
men, with n good ear for music, and as
you watch their antics you might east
ly imagine that, instead of being in a
civilized British colony, you were back
In the hear OF Africa, assisting at
some savage death dance or other
heather rite.
Kingsbury County independent. (DeSmet, Kingsbury County, S.D.) 1894-1929, 1907-12-20

Pacific coast. She knows just the length
of tine required for a parcel to be car
ried during the Christmas rush. She has
mail and express rates at her finger tips.
She knows how TO do up parcels so hat
they will carry with safety to themselves
and satisfaction to the men who handle
them en- route. Strings never burst nor
boxes bulge when this young woman at
tends to the shipping. II most Of the pack
ages are to go by mail or express, she
calls for them with a hanson, and car
ries them in person to the postoffice n
the express office. and for messenger de-
livery on Christmas eve or Christmas
morning, she has a regular staff Of boys
upon whom she can depend for this work.
Her charges vary, of course, according to
the amount of work to be done. but II Is
not an unusual thing for a woman OF
wealth to hand her a 500 gold piece when
the task Is completed.
Her business grew from a very small
start, simply because ono rich W )man told
another of her capabilities, which were
superior in this particular direction to
those of the most accomplished maid, or
ever an ordinary good secretary. But the
greatest increase in her income arises
from her shopping for helpless men. be-
wildered husbands, willing but terrified
bachelor uncles, and even young men who
lack the assurance to buy for their
~fancees. A man may know exactly what
he wants, he may be the inspiration be-
hind a gift as well as It's financial hacker,
but far be It from him to trust to his
somewhat limited knowledge Of stores and
values.
The young woman makes her commits
| sion from the store and not from the man
who gives her the order. Occasionally she
does Christmas shopping for women, but
! she says that this Is not a profitable field,
| largely because the average woman thinks
that she Is herself an exceptionally good
shopper. and Is never entirely satisfied
when the work Is done for her.
The girl who intends to take up this
line OF work must be %tactful, as we'll az
skiilful. in wrapping and shopping. II
ever there Is a time when femininity
wake hysterical IL is at Christmas time,
II a woman Is utterly impossible from q
| business point of view-that Is, II she
