CHRISTMAS CHEER
 FOR BRIDGEPOR7

"Everybody's Christmas is the spirit this year, if the buying in local stores is any indication of the prevailing spirit. Last year the chil- dren were the only ones who seemed to be remembered with gifts, and the depression throughout the coun- try owing to the war was felt keenly by retail merchants. This season, however, young and old are sharing in the buying of gifts. Everything from a cane for grandad to a rattle for the new infant is in like favor.
 Managers of the department stores claim that equality prevails in every department. Much valuable jewelry is being purchased, and to bear out the theory that many women have learned to make their own clothes, many dress lengths and waist ma teriaIs are being sold.
 In the toy department more ex- pensive toys than ever before are be- ing purchased, judging by the rap idly decreasing stocks, but the best sellers are the toys ranging in price from 25 cents to $2.O0. The sales at the cut price stores are enormous as usual, but the tendency seems to be toward the better line of goods.
 The demand for parcels to be wrapped to be sent to sailors is one of the remarkable things that are | noted Books and jewelry and arti- cles of the daily comfort for the men in service are included. Judging from the number of wrist watches sold in the city, every sailor in the service will have one of these handy re- minders that it is time to report for | duty.
 The request that shopping be done | early has had some effect according to the amount of the sales the past month but crowds in the stores the past few days equal those of former years, and the real crush is expected the last two shopping days before | Christmas.
 The merriest of all holidays will be in the homes where the guest o1 | honor is the returning soldier or sailor, whose fate was so uncertain for many weary months, but sad in" l deed will be the home fires which have been kept burning for the boy who will never return.

interesting facts concerning the feesia.
"The plant Is a native Of South
Africa" he said, "but had been COM

about fifteen years ago, when 1t was

tinted species. known as 'Freesia arm

flower, but scentless. This species
seems to be extremely rare in nature
and 1t was eagerly seized upon by
propagators in different parts Of the
werld. N
Italy, France, Holland, England and
this country all procured specimens,
and by hybridizing and intercrossing
the seedlings great range of beauti-
full colors have been produced. They
run from cream to golden yellow on
one hand. and to pale pink and light
crimson on the other, and even a blue

are still scarce, but they are known
to the trade. which has termed them

KNITTING A WHOLE COSTUME
Popularity of Outfits for Children At.
ford New Departure for Grown
Ups-Requires Careful Work.

Whole costumes Of knitted material
have been popular for small children,
but it is new departure to offer them
for grown-ups. One has rather short
sweater top, ribbed to fit snug around
the waist and going over the head.
The rolled collar, of white, ties with
knitted cord ending in knitted balls OF
green. The skirt has bands of green
on a white worsted foundation. OF
course, such a skirt must be narrow.
1t would be horror of sagging lines
after few times of wearing if it were
full. But it must be a nice problem in
knitting to adjust it to the figure SO
that it shall not curve in in all the
wrong places.
Our skirts are again scanty and
straight, but so far they disguise rath-
! er than reveal the lines of the figure.
When narrow skirts were in before,
careless cutting and inexpert draping
often had results which were unfOr-
tunate, to say the least. A skirt OF
knitted wool might easily repeat these
indiscretions so unless a woman has
graduated in the mysteries of knitting
and purling she had better not try to
solve one for herself.
