A MIGHTY SALE OF DRESS GOODS

1t would be advisable to let the prices talk on
ahis occasion, as they surely will, but this event
possesses other virtues than low prices. More
important is the fact that the fabrics marked are
entirely new and represent the best fashions Of
the year. Such dress goods, in truth, as women
OF taste will be proud to own such fabrics as sell
freely at full regular prices-these are involved
IN this sale, and make it more important than
either the prices or the enormous variety OF tex
lures and coors il contains.

Pleasantest of all is it when you are

you on four sides the house rises above
you, and in the grounds or in great
tubs and porcelain pots rich flowers,
graceful vines and restful trees afford
shade, color and perfume. The sound
Of the bells descends from the air

The Truth About Santa Claus.

l write myself down as one who still
believes in Santa Claus. Don't you?
Are you one of, those very literal folk
who have their doubts whether they
ought to let their children cling to the
beautiful Old myth?
Without imagination. without dreams,
without poetry. this old world Of ourg
would be very wearisome place Its
road would be sleeper than it is-much
like sleighing over bare ground would
our progress be as compared with
sleighing over deep. hard packed snow.
The poetic myth Of the old saint,
with his reindeer and his jingling bells
and his bullying pack OF toys and bon
bons. has charmed a thousand genera
tons. The stocking hung by the chin
ney on Christmas eve, the children
staying awake until sleep pounced on
them ike strong man armed, the
presents filing them from top to toe
in the morning, the rush Of the bare
feet hurrying fast across the door, the
merry uproar, the bubbling laughter.
the shoots OF joy-the whole OF this
family pageant belongs TO dear Santa
Claus. We owe it TO him Gradually,
as the golden mists Of childhood clear
before the sun and the .-traIIing clouds

SANTA CLAUS
IN PORTO RICO.

THRISIMAS in Spain is reli-
gious festival rather than q So
cial one 1t was SO originally In
Porto Rico, but the population
has been influenced partly by the
spirit of the new world and partly by
the many American merchants who re-
side in the cities and who exert an in
fluence much greater than the num-
bers would seem to warrant.
The churches welcome the day with
chimes which begin at midnight and
last until the midnight of the next day.
What with one church beginning ten
minutes too soon and another ten min
utes too late ard a third at the right
moment, what with bells which ring
every fifteen minutes and bell ringers
who under some ancient custom will
sound the great bells every half hour,
the air is filed with music which never
seems to end.

That Christmas comes but once year
Is rather sad for Willy,
And likewise limits much the cheer
OF Mabel. Maud and Milly,
For they would welcome ten or twelve
To shout around the shanty
And In their stockings deep to delve
For goodies left by Sanity.
But once year Is quite enough

When times are panicky and tough
For these dear youngsters father
In fact. poor daddy hopes the fates
Will cause ito get a cheap year,
The calendar to change dts dates
And Christmas swap with leap year.
