If You Work Systematically and Shop Early There Need be No , "Frenzied Financiering" in Gift buying The average number of gifts, large and small, bought by grown-up folks., is probably somewhere behveen twenty and forty. (No, yon don 't.. receive that many. Perhaps the man who has figured out where all the pins go can tell you why.) There's real pleasure in buying and giving, if your generosity doesn't get ahead of your arithmetic. Better figure out about what you ought to spend foe, each gift, and then come early (before noon is the best time of day). The "leave-things-to-the-last minute" shoppers are apt to spend ex travagantly and work up a headache besides. And, most important of all, come to the store where nothing tawdry is sold; where prices are as low at holiday time as at other times; where perfect safety and utmost possible comfort are as sured; where intelligent attendance and prompt delivery are to be depended upon.
