First Call for Christmas

Copyright, 1916, by the Mcclure News
paper Syndicate.)
To be sure. Christmas is still two
months off-but it's time to put on your
thinking cap and make a few plans re-
garding gifts. II you don't you will find
that you have all your Christmas plan
ming to do between Thanksgiving and the
holidays, and those few weeks always
pass with lightning speed.
The first thing, of course, Is the list,
and 1t is none too soon to revise the ola
list and bring it up to date. Then take
an inventory Of what you already have
collected by way of Christmas gifts. and
make up your mind what amount you will
probably have to spend on gifts.
II you are country woman you no
doubt have some jars Of jam or preserves
that will make delicious presents and you
might go through your storeroom now.
setting aside few jars here and few
there-those that are especially attrac-
tive-for some Of your Christmas pres
ents. If you are a good cook you might
plan to give Christmas puddings to some
Of your friends, and If you intend to do
that now is none too soon to begin the
operation, so that the buildings may be
we'll seasoned, ripe and delicious by
Christmas time.
II you must purchase the most Of your
gifts remember that now the shops are
much more likely to show you just what
you want than later when other gift
searchers have denuded their counters of
many Of the best gifts at reasonable
prices. In cities where there is a Chinese
section Of town, prices are almost always
raised Just before Christmas, because Of
the many who go late in the season to
find attractive Oriental novelties for
Christmas gifts. However, business
is not very active now in that line of
goods-most folk are too busy thinking OF
the winters suits or furs to think Of the
small nick-nacks Of Christmas.
Hand bags of silks and velvets are
much more in demand this winter than
those Of leather. and it is not a difficult
matter to make bags Of this sort at homo.
And now is just the time to find rem
nants Of costly silks and ribbons that
would be just what you want to use in
fashioning these dainty bags. Later In
the year there will not be room to show
these remnants. or they will have been
sold to make room for the ever increasing
influx OF newer goods.
now-but remmeber you always feel very,
very poor when Christmas days draw
near.
