Your money novor covered more ground than this at Christmas. There are a few stingy soUls who say each year that "Christmas Is just for the Children" and you'll usually find that thoy haven't any! Christ
mas Is for tfaQ young at heart-for the bravo souls who never grow old-for all who love their fdllow men. Everybody can make this a merry Christmas-for everybody else. It isn't sH much 'how -much you
epond aa how you 'spend it The gift that comes from the heart Is double In value. A little care in choosing, a little taste displayed will add immeasurably to the value of the gift you send. Every article we
sell is to Improve the appearance or comfort of the one It Is purchased for, and no gift Is so thoroughly appreciated by the receiver as the practical one. What more practical, MeVviceable, gift for mother, wife, sic
tor or daughter than a serviceable tailor suit, a swell long coat, a becoming silk or cloth dress, a dainty silk net or lingerie waist, a beautiful lace .coat, silk petticoat, a tortoiao shell or rhinostpno hair ornament,
chic tailored or dross hat.
On tho -first of tho year we will make oxtonsiva alterations, adding several new departments, and it is our indention. to close out this up-to.-date stock of Ladles' ready-to-wear garments . this wodk if prices
