Children of Church
Plan to Give Rather
Than Receive Gifts
St.. Mary's Avenue Congregational Sun
day school has adopted a novel Christmas
plan, according to which each class has
agreed to supply at l'east one poor family
on -Christmas eve with a tree and the
trimmings.
The' names of worthy families hat been
supplied by local authorities. The chil
dren are to supply gifts of toys and ap
parel according to the specific needs of
each family. The women of the church
have offered to supply dinners to go along
with each tree. The men have placed
their automobiles at the services of the
young "Santm."
Hitherto the church has spent large
sums on its own children at this season;
this year tho children have cheerfully
plunned to give instead of receiving. How
ever, there will be, as usual, a Christmas
party, which will be held Tuesday even
ing, December 21, at 7:30. A five-reel pic
ture, "The Fairy and the Waif," in which
the characters are largely children, will
lo iliown. Santa Claus will be -at this
I city. The Christmas entertainment by
the school will be in the nature of a ves
per on Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock, De
cember 26. '

From wg-
Pardon a quotation from a letter received recently: "It was my privilege, as well as pleasure, to take a
friend fromjowa to your store on Saturday evening. He purchased a coat for his sister and was so pleased
with the courteous treatment received that he made a note of the name and location, and determined to make
your store his trading home in the future." Needless to state that this was incense to our nostrils, and we are
grateful to our friend for writing us.

And Now For the Most
Important Announcement in Years!
LAST SPRING we had placed before us such wonderful displays of Furs such perfect skins choice in
themselves and cured so perfectly. The prices were so much lower so very much below prices made in years
that we fell for it. And to use, as some one said, Bertie's expression, we "PLUNGED." We have had good
business better than in years BUT, and here's the RUB-WE HAVE TOO MANY ON, HAND. We are not
going to wait till after Christmas. Export business shot to pieces skins have advanced amazingly prices
quoted for Saturday are, we believe, 50 PER CENT less than ,we could make if our stock was bought at
present prices. Quotations will simply indicate reductions. You must see to really know. REMEMBER THIS,
that the prices before the cut were the lowest known to us for many years.
