These Christmas Gifts Will Add t
Ones Comfort the Year Round.

HE other day when in tn
l. Franco-American shop, II
Brandeis building, l was most in
terested to see a man buy FIVE o
the gift boxes which Mrs. Hum
phrey has on display. Such charm
ing combinations are they, ranging
in price from $3.50 to S. and includ
ing almost every one of the splen
did toilet requisites on the Franco
American list. And they're boxe
not only for women, but little girls
men and boys, as we'll. Toilet wat
ers, perfumes, sachets and powder
Of rafest fragrance; waving fluid
this for boys as we'll as giris-Bril
liantgiene, Dentagiene, boxes Of man
icure requisites, all packed in holly
boxes with Christmas cards
wrapped in tissue, sealed with mer
riest of stickers and tied with heavy
cords of scarlet and. gold. They
are Stuck with a paster which
adjures the recipient please do no
open until Chisfmas." Send us the
money, name and address of person

Desirable Above All Else on Earth
a RE the clothes expressive Of
IA personality and individual
charm. The magazines of the sea-
son are replete with suggestions
from the minds of master design
ers of the world. If l tell you that
one of/the tailors has just told me
that he has filled enough of his
orders so that he can indulge him
self trife in making such suits,
coats and frocks as the fancy of his
customers dictate, and at very at
tractive reduction in his regular
price of tailoring, wouldn't you
scramble for the pictures you've
been treasuring as expressive OF
what I'd love to have?" I'm sure
you would, my dears, and the tailor
who just told me this pleasing bit
of news is that artistic designer
and tailor, L. Kneeter, sos South
Sixteenth. Of course he can take
only limited number at these
prices. so you'd better visit or
write at once.
Something New-Something Differ
ent.
THAT'S what we live for, is it
l. not? The Jacobs-Lee Drug
store, Fifteenth and Douglas streets,
is installing a steam table and are
going to serve a number of new
dishes on the Luncheonette menu,
perhaps rich soups being the most
welcome this cold weather. Omaha
theater-goers are appreciative indeed
of service they receive in this little
shop, which opens right from the
Rialto theater lobby, for it's nice
these cold days to meet ones friends
before the show and stop for few
minutes chat and cup of hot choco-
late. Have you noticed the table
that is heaped with gift boxes of
lovely chocolates at special holiday
prices? The short time this shop
has been open it bids fair to attain
the enviable reputation which has
distinguished the Jacobs-Lee Drug
store on Seventeenth and Douglas.
Get the theater drug store habit,
it's most pleasant!
