salesman had bowed us into the street.
the street
That's the next thing" Santa de-
clared, music
So up the street. he walked, until
coming to the Byron Mauzy music
store in Stockton street opposite
Union Square park Here we found
nine floors of everything in the must
cal line.
II want to try one of those Byron
Mauzy player pianos" Santa ex-
planned to a salesman who had just
been illustrating how easy it is to
have music in every home. Santa
picked out a roll and sat down at the
instrument. '.Hark, the Herald An
gels Sing" was the name of the piece
he played, and I saw tears gather in
his eyes. The music brought back to
him memories of the first Christmas.
One after another the rolls of music
were tried. ranging from sacred airs
to the latest popular pieces.
Then he walked about. inspecting
everything - music, musical instru-
ments, musical cabinets. and. before
he had finished, many checks were
made against his shopping list.
"A.violin for young man who is
learning to play Is good gift" re-
| marked Santa as he ordered one.
I've T.. voif
called a ukulele was shown him, and
he purchased 1t for a young lady.
The taxi had caught up with us by
this time and it was jamned nearly
full of presents.
Getting hungry asked my
Christmas friend.
NO" he said. ''but I'm just a lit
tie tired"
So, climbing into the taxi, we rode
to Powell street.
Your mention of hunger reminded
me to get some of those clever cleo
trio cooking appliances" Santa re-
marked as the taxi left Geary street
and turned down Powell.
Here we are" he said. NO 237-
the headquarters of the w. d. Kohl
wey Light Co, the center for those
electrical appliances. They will sur
prise you," he added as we stepped
out of the machine.
And he was right. We found
coasters, broilers, irons, chafing
dishes, percolators yibrators, radi-
ators, curling irons, hair dryers
warming pans. flashlights. vacuum
cleaners, and 1t seemed a thousand
| other things of similar nature.
Presents to make the housewives
work lighter have always been strong
favorites with me- he said. Just

| show windows. Cameras of every de-
scription and a corps of clerks to ex-
plain the relative merits of each were
| in the store. The kodaks ranged in
price from few dollars TO few hum
dreds.
Out came Santa's shopping list and
/ he proceeded to select not only cam
eras. but developing tanks, tripods,
carrying cases and albums. and. just
for good measure, he purchased a few
art calendars and fountain pens.
For some of the folks in the east"
he explained.
After the packages had been piled
into the taxi Santa wished the clerks
all good morning and we were just
about to climb in when he espied the
large clock of the Sorensen company
across the street. He motfoned to me
and together we lodged across Mar
ket street, Santa waving a CHEEKY
salutation to the traffic policeman.
as we entered the home of beauti-
full gifts"
Santa needed no introduction to Mr..
Sorensen. the president OF the COM
pany.
Il have known you a long time"
smiled Santa as he shook hands with
Mr.. Sorensen. Then, with a twinkle
in his eye, he continued: Besides.

my travels.
A short chat followed. then Santa
turned and looked about him. Well.

last he said For the old folks" and
smiled
| In making a tour of the store he
noted many people having their eyes
examined in the optical department.
Don't need anything in that line.''
he said. my old eyes are as good as
they ever were"
More packages were piled into the

I looked up and down the street Let
me see" he said. Il have three other
places to visit in Geary street, so we
might as well do 1t now"
The crispness of the morning air
suggested furs, so Santa headed for
the store of Louis Gassner in Geary
street near Grant avenue. For mo-
ment he stood admiring the beautiful
display of skins in the windows.
"A superb collection of the seasons
offerings" he said as we turned to en-
ter. The interior caused his admira-
ton to reach the superlative degree
lie was as pleased as child over
the many different purchases that he
made: Muffs. boas. ermine sets, fur
coats. the latest in fur trimmed hats
and fur for trimming of coat collars
and cuffs were among them.
Again outside he paused TO consider.
yes, that's 1t; gloves" he said and
forthwith headed for Centemeri's
glove shop at 15s Geary street.
"Centemeri's gloves are my choice"
explained Santa, besides you have
such large stock to choose FROM
Sure enough we found one entire
side of the deep store given over to
gloves-gioves for all occasions, for
men. women and children, and at all
prices.
Il must indeed be getting old" la
mented Santa as he paused a moment
in perplexity, II have forgotten the
sizes OF number of gloves wished
to buy" His remark was overheard
by a young lady behind the counter.
THAT needn't bother you, Mr.. San
ia Claus she smiled. encouragingly.

der. 1t is good in San Francisco.

why, to be sure" said Santa, re-
| lieved. He purchased several and
admired the sachet package that went
with each.
THAT solves the glove gift prob
lem he remarked, as we stepped out
! into Geary street once more. The
treasures of the orient displayed in
the show windows of the Kisen COM
pany, next door, caught his attention
and he beckoned me to follow him.
| Once inside I thought he would
never get through buying. Exquisite
vases, carved furniture, kimonos. silks
and satins of old Japan he included
In the order, then added dainty china,
toys and a gorgeous cabinet

| taxi and away we sped. The next
stop was at Market and Eddy streets.
Upstairs we went to the salesrooms
of Peter Bacigalupi Jr.
Again Santa fshed out his shopping
list and studied it a long time. When
he had concluded he began an in
spection of the talking machines and
records on view. Machines of every
description, every size and every
make; for the biggest home and the
smallest
i can not understand how such a
clever machine can be purchased for
$3.50 he said after he had purchased
several of THE Little wonders as
they are called. He was more sur
prised when informed that four
double sided records wsnt with each
machine.
It was as he was about to leave
that his attention was called to the
latest Edison production, the Diamond
Disc Photograph. and he marveled-
While Santa had been studying his
purchasing list l noted ostrich feath-
ers listed, so, as we went downstairs
suggested to him that we visit the
Cawston Feather Store at 81 Geary
street. The suggestion was accepted.
He beamed with delight as the
beautiful plumes met his gaze.
do you know" he said as we en-
tered. years ago 1 never thought
that California would raise feathers
most everything else? Here today
see the product of the giant of the
birds SO cleverly manipulated as to
form articles Of adornment so dear to
the feminine heart Just look-boas,
plumes, feather fans, birds of para
disc. exclusive feather novelties and
what notsr'
The advantages of the cawston
Gift Order were explained to Santa
and resulted in his purchasing two
one to be presented at the New York
store and the other at the Chicago
establishment of the firm.
Women are hard to please" Santa
remarked. Il am going to mail
these orders to friends in New York
and Chicago; they can select what
most appeals to them.1

TO SELL THE PHILIPPINES.

There Is a strong movement on foot
In Eastern States favoring the selling
Of the Philippines to the laps and
combining the United States Govern.
ment to the Western Hemisphere.
In the current issue of Harper's
Weekly appears an interesting article
by Victor Rousseau, in which this au'
thor takes the view that Japan must
soon acquire the Philippines or
starve He goes on 70 show that the
Philippines are in the direct path Of
Japan's southern expansion, and that
they are the only territory in which
Japan can adequately settle its sur.
plus people. These islands have an
area slightly larger than Japan, and
a population of fewer than eight mil
lions. This article concludes with the
following paragraph: a Philippine
Republic Is an unrealizable aspira
ton, nor could it survive; nor could
we carry out our guarantee of pre-
lection. To set up one would be to
invite reoccupation within a term OF
years. But 10 approach Japan, offer
ing her the protectorate over the Is
lands, would convert an inevitable
enemy into a friend and ally whose
assistance would be OF incalculabls
value in the development Of our Chi
nese trade, the recognition OF our title
TO the Hawaiian Islands, and our SO
curity upon our Western shores -
