GIFTS THAT ARE
 LESS EXPENSIVE
They Are to Be Found i.l Corners Or
 on Tables of Miscellaneous Ar ticIes.

The woman wAb has time to browse around and poke into the corners of counters, or has the patience to look over carefully a table filled with a miscellaneous collection of wares, is more than apt to find something which she desires. Al1 gifts cannot be substantial and expensive ones. One always has on her list names of friends to whom she wishes to send q small token as a reminder of the season. This sort of gift can be found by the woman who searches the shops with intent and purpose.
 For instance, there is a charming ly carved nut bowl and set that sells for the small price of s1.50, and coasters, equally attractive, sell for $1 set. Incense burners represent ing the powerful-1ooking Buddha, or temples of lockwood sell anywhere from s1 to s6.50, according to the height and elaborateness of the ob- ject. The burners of china are less expensive, some selling as low as 35 and 50 cents. ...
 There are cunning little china ladies, dressed in the fashion of the '70's and they are much more determined than they look, for they are weighty enough to hold open doors for long hours at time. These sell for $2.75 apiece The bayberry novelties with their accompanying verses offer a wide choice of both literature and article but the price is governed by the last named. A tea-caddy sells for S5 cents, while an ironing pad is 50 cents. Clean white straws for cake testing appear in holiday attire-be- ing tied with a red ribbon-and sell for only 35 cents. Then there is the combination shoe horn and tree priced at S5 cents, and metal polisher sells for 35 cents. An olive fork, just the thing for the autokit, is to be had for 50 cents and a key chain is 35 cents. A very white breadboard with an edging of black and hand painted flowers is the partner of 8 shining steel knife with a decorated handle. The ombination sells for S3.
 There are stunning flower stands, vases and bonbon dishes of Nippon ware that sell for $2 and s3.50, and the vases of Tiffany glassware in both topaz and blue are to be had for S4.50. Mayonnaise bowls of this same ware sell for s1.50. Book ends
