THE CHRISTMAS THOUGHT.

Ideas on Christmas giving are rapid
ly changing among the sensible. Those
who think as they give are looking for
a year-round service as the important
thing.
In week Of shopping, with all it's
strain, you will not find better gift
than years subscription to The
Youths Companion. It offers it's SER
vice, its clean entertainment, it's fine
ggestiyeness week after week; and
the end of the year, which finds many
a gift in the attic dust-covered and
forgotten, brings The Companion again,
with all the charm of last Christmas
tide.
No American monthly at any price
offers the same amount of reading, and
none can offer better quality. Less
than four cents a week provides this
best of Christmas gifts $500 a year.
II you subscribe now, all the remaining
Issues of the year will be sent free,
and The Companion Home Calendar.
A copy of the Calendar is also sent to
those who make gift subscription.
