When Santa Unloads His Pack

at your hearthstone next Monday
evening you will indeed be lucky If
among the gifts he leaves, you will
find dress accessories of charm
and beauty-of just this type are
those found on the first floor of
Z the Pettls Dry Goods Company.
Collars and cuffs, wells, gloves in
kid or fabric. beaded purses. silk
under-the-arm bags, costume jewel
ry, hosiery-Peggy Ann can think
of dozens of such gifts that may
be found on the first floor Of this
store.
On the second floor you will find
undies of rare loneliness that will
delight the heart of the college
girl or debuntante: on the same
floor one can find blouses and
sweaters in wide assortment; gift
articles for the wee babe may also
be found here.
Sewing cabinets. Preside chairs,
smoking stands, %ateleg tables will
all be lovely and useful gifts for the
home and no doubt Santa Claus
will stop on the fourth floor Of the
Pettis Dry Goods Company to So
Iect some for his pack. Then on
= the fifth floor he can find innumer-
able gifts in the art department
that will afford great pleasure 20
the housewife during the year; lin
ems stamped for working, ex-
quisitely beautiful lamp shades,
table runners, pillows. bouffant and
colorful-these may all be found
here.
We have not mentioned the
veritable toyland that holds forth
in the basement OF this store-here
the children and grown-ups 'revel
in the array Of wonderfully clever
toys-toys that dance. others that
sing. some that talk, others that
walk-you will find the one you
have been looking for to give to
the last little boy on your list

OF course, there is big bit of ex-
aggeration in that but there also is
much truth. Men neglect their wives
when they become undressing or
a fact.
To the wife falls the heaviest bur
den of keeping the home intact by
making it and herself attractive. Pool
rooms do not draw steady customers
from homes over which preside wom-

ings to follow than a musical in
strument. If you have a lot of
money to invest, you could not
do better than to select a Baldwin
Reproducing Grand with Welte
Mignon attachment. These instru-
ments are as perfect as it is
possibl for mechanical instru-
ments to be and the clear rich
melody that issues from them
seems as If 1t might come only
from personal renditions by the
greatest artists.
If you are unable to spend as
much money as this Grand would
necessitate, why not buy a Bruins
wick monograph? They come in
patterns and wood to suit every
home and every pocketbook-bu
from the most expensive to the
