Christmas Gift? "
It should be unusual, and what is better still, v
useful. Always, to be sure, it must be a sur
prise. Then we enjoy not only the pleasure '
of unexpected possession of , what we have ;
never had, but that pleasure. is sustained day ;
by day by its usefulness; and in using; there )
is ever a pleasant memory, of the thought-
fulness and kindrtess of the giver. . f
r Such a Gift h

We are sure our display will afford new sug
gestions. The service
