Store Closes 6 D. m. Saturday 9 D. m.
There IS dn aWful lot 10 De done in the nert
 feW Weeks

Hardly necessary at all this season to speak of practical gifts, for everyone is thoroughly i'm bued with the spirit of the SPUG.
 If 'haste makes waste" as it most assuredly does, this is one year when all shopping should be done well in advance, so that all purchases might be carefully selected-to prevent the haste that makes waste
 Our store is already ahead of the calendar. The toys are impatient on the Fourth Floor for the adnliring gazes of their little girl and boy friends
 The light of gift lamps is casting warm glow over glistening groups of practical, gifty things of cut glass, of silver, and of steel. The Fourth Floor takes on the spirit of Christmas almost un- consciously. No one has said Christmas is but 38 days away" but still the Fourth Floor begins to look Christmasy.

 Because they are the smartest and the Warmest and the most fetching sweaters we have ever had.
 Trimmed with large alpaca collars, cuffs and pockets not the alpaca that is like mohair, but the alpaca that is woolly like fine fox fur. These smart sweaters are smart because of the trims and because of the wonder ful color combination, com bining Tommy Brown and tobacco-robin egg and black-fucia and steel gray and a number of other fascinating combinations.
