wasn't perfectly proper to appear on
Main street In bedroom slippers.
Christmas Almost Here.
Christmas presents galore are fill
ing the stores. Today saw nothing
more attractive than the odd-shaped.
pretty boxes Of candy on exhibition In
nearly every store in the city. These
come IN boxes with tops which extend
slightly over giving one the impress
sion that he is about topurchase more
than he actually gets. saw some
unusually pretty heart-shaped candy
boxes in red and lavender with bows
on top. These came $1.00 for half
pounds for a two pound box. John
sons candy comes $3.50 pound In
certain style boxes and Sc IN certain
five pound boxes. Like myself I'll
warrant you are wishing for a five
pound box Of Johnson's, That is you're
wishing for 1t up till Christmas and
after that IL you get 1t, you'll wish TO

The PrettIest Window In Town To-day.
I'm going to give the cake today to
Osgood for the prettieSt window on
Main street. 1t contains just four hats
and the general effect is magnificent.
On ground of exquisite blue satin
stands o low, round basket with tall
handle and in the basket are all sorts
Of artificial flowers made Of velvet
and silk in various shadings OF old
rose. Back of the four hats which
hang gracefully on slender hat stands
made for the purpose, Is a large mir
ror, rejecting the whole to twice It's
size. The effect in It's entirely, Is
usually dainty and striking.
Pearls.
Pearl necklaces Of all sorts are on
exhibit now in the jewelry stores.
One particular window displays this
Christmas season a window of pearls
almost exclusively and another win

blending tremendously and making 1t
almost imperative that women who
love such things must stop for mo-
ment and adore it all. Pearls are dear

wear real pearls. heard a girl say
several days ago: 81 do SO love my
lecklace because the pearls in 1t are

to even 500 for the better kind of imi-

Of us. Real pearls cost somewhere
around IS apiece for each pearl. Some
times adoring parents start a necklace
for a wee girl, giving her one pearl
each birthday or Christmas so that
by the time she reaches the age when
she can appreciate and care for them,
she has pretty chain indeed to wear
