OF SPECIAL MERIT FOR WOMEN

The things that women appreciate
above everything else are the practi-
cal gifts of things for everyday USE
things that she would buy for herself.
And then. too, you raise her opin-
ION OF you just another bit higher
when you present her with some
thing practical and sensible-some-
thing she would buy herself.
Every time she wears the Skirt, or
the Waist, or the Furs, or the Bath
robe, or the Hose, or the Dress, or the
Gloves which you gave her, she thinks
of you. Every time some friend
speaks a word Of admiration for the
gift you made her, it brings a happy
recollection Of you.
Every time she sees the ornament
al, perhaps. but unuseful gift of some
one else. she unconsciously remem-
bers you for your practical, useful and
sensible gift of something to wear.
So. when you select a present for
her." remember, most women are
practical. They cherish the memory
of a useful gift, and soon forget the
opposite kind.
And make your gift to 'her'' some
thing she will really like better than
all the other presents she receives
let it be something she can wear.
And don't lose sight of the fact that most women
instinctively know that anything which bears this
stores label is absolutely right in style and dependable
in quality.

Jonah And The Whale.

The international Sunday school les
sons recently had lesson on Jonah ana
the whale and local minister not long
since preached series ofspecial sermons
on this incident OF the Bible which has
caused as much if not more discussion,
probably, than any other part 1.-THE Holy
Scriptures.
A dispatch from Washington has the
following about monster fish OF this
kind. which would seem TO establish the
fact that there are monsters in the deep
that can swallow man:
"The largest fish ever caught was a
whale shark taken last year off the coast
OF Florida. 1t occupied an important
place among the fish exhibits at the San
Francisco Exposition.
This giant weighed over 10000 pound
when caught. II is 45 feet long and a
full-grown man could stand upright in IFS
stomach. The mouth OF this whale shark
is over three feet wide and % inches deep.
1t has several thousand teeth. The skin
is three inches thick and has no scales.
"The monsterwas captured after fight
lasting 40 hours. A hundred and fifty
bullets and live whale harpoons were re-
CURED to kill the big fish"
