camp and row of tents some distance
off where several comrades were
gathered around the fireside and the
flickering lights cast reflections on
the tents and faces of the group and
from whence came the strains of
'Fenting Tonight on the Old Camp
Grounds. How realistic the picture
really was can not be conceived un-
less one had the pleasure of looking
at The window. graphone conceal

music
Almost directly across the street In
the Fashion window is seen one of
the most difficult and clever pieces of
art window trimming. They have
constructed q Goddess of Liberty, an
almost facsimile of the one which
stands in the New York harbor. The
details are carried out complete and
the light is supplied by an electric
bulb in the outstretchei hand of the
Goddes-
The Quist drug store also has for

The entire front of the store of
c. p. Bliss has been decorated with
red, white and blue streamers and is
perhaps the most snowy decoration

Scores Of other stores have splen-
dii windows and to mention all that
were worthy would be to mention
