An Appropriate Gift.

Are you considering what to give .
friend for Christmas gift? If so. let
us make suggestion. We have in
Mount Holly public library. where
those who wish to read may go and
enjoy any Of the large number of books
on the shelves. If it is desired to take
book home one must become a subscrib-
err to the library. and ticket or certifi-
cate to that end would be as appropriate
IS any gift you could make. This
library was founded by a bequest from
the Dunn estate number Of years ago.
The income from this source is small,
and every subscription aids materially
In keeping the institution up to date.
Mrs. Ella Scheetz, recently elected IL
brarian, devotes much time to improv-
ing the library. She has gone over the
shelves and sorted out many worn and
out-of-date books, which she is selling
at five cents each, and has succeeded in
getting rid Of number. The money
derived from these sales will be devoted
to the purchase OF new books. By an
arrangement with the state library at
Trenton she is enabled to secure the loan
Of special works on subjects that interest
some.
Burlington city has a very fine library.
It is open only on certain afternoons
and evenings, while the Monnt Holly
library is open every day except holi-
days and Sundays. The Burlington in
stitution is one Of the most complete in
this neighborhood. 1t is appreciated by
the citizens Of Burlington, and by the
| city council, which makes an annual
appropriation to it Of several hundred
dollars. Why cannot our city farthers
do something to aid our home affair?
| But, in the meantime, call on the
librarian and purchase years subscrip-
ton which will give some friend lots OF
good reading for 50 weeks.
| All Of the new books are bought as
soon as there is available cash. Among
those recently put in the library are the
following: The Story of Julia Page, by
Kathleen Norris;s The Open Market,
Josephine Bacon; The Real Man, Francis
Lynde; The Landloper, Holman Day
Ethan House. Mrs. Humphrey Ward
The Freelands, John Galsworthy
straight down the Crooked Lane, Bertha
