The heart of Christmas is giving,

not getting. -

Christmas of service. This morning at prayer thanked God for the busy week I-Ie has sent me. It has been a glorious week. l. have slept very little. The burdens and woes of many have been on my heart. There have been u number of ‘special cases-sonic that could be met _by money, and some that money 'could not reach. I rejoice that they have been brought to ine." '

l On Christmas, of all days, we should beware lest we chafe and fret

‘because God sends us something to do. Our service may be ful ering and

Iiniperfect, like the clumsy attempts |of a child to accomplish some hard itask. but it will bring blessing if we are filled with the spirit of the Mas- ’ter, whose delight lay in doing good.

Christmas Day is a good day pn

which to consecrate our lives anew o Christ in a practical way. If we heed less, or heed not at all. thc prompt- ings of our selfish hearts, but in sim- plicity seek to help, by kindness and courtsey, first our friends in the home, and then, in widening circles, comrades acquaintances, strangel‘s.We shall indeed have a merry Christmas every day of the year.

The ladies of this province will cer-

tainly revel in the showing now pre- sented at Paton’s big, bright, beauti- ful store, which is in full holiday at- tire with a full stafi of ohliging clerks. _y __ _

HANDK_ERCHIEFS._

One can never have too many handa

a range which cannot be excelled in the finest Irish linen, hemst tched, initialed or plain; cross bar lawn handkerchiefs daintily appropriate; in fact all kinds are represented from the finest lace to the nursery picture hsndkerchiefs. Tha man of the house is also remembered here and finest linen or the cheaper grades can be conveniently inspected.

_ FANCY LINENB.

The centre of attractions .is this

so attractively arranged this season fancy linen booth that Patons have and where one can, at a glance, pick up a piece of the finest linen or lace work, at a most moderate Price- -Truely this department. is well worth a visit. A piece of linen is so con- venient to send by mail and is posi- tive to reach its destination in first- class order.

GLO VESI GLOVES! GLOVES!

Splendid assortnients in ladies

gloves, and in men's too, for that matter, but the men's are kept in their own special department, near the front of the store where Mr. Mc- Dougall attends to their wants. l It might easily and conscientiously `be said that Paton's display oi lad-

Y would mother, wife, sister or friend be more delighted to receive on Christmas morning than a set. of Paton's iurs.

Of course, the very piece that you

would prefer is quite likely to be treasured by some one else, and for that reason it is always wise to do your purchasing as soon as possible.

Every popular fur, every fashion-

able fur, is represented in the sale, from ponyskin to ermine, and l’atons are famed for the particular care they take in the making of their gur- ments.

In the same department as the lure

the lady shopper can rest at her lei- sure and view the many lines here

,displayed For instance, one rack

is full of the nicest possible silk and satin iinderskirts, and if a well- dressed woman lins one weakness more than another, it is for a. stylisl! bright-colored, rustling silk or softly clinging satin pctticoat. The range will suit the most fastidious and the article selected will he handsomely boxed and delivered as required. Au- other rack displays the many hand- somcly tailored suits, in blacks, blues and mixed tweeds which, for worth and correct cut cannot be du- plicated. All the suits are well lined with grace in every line.

The winter coats, most acceptable

gifts, are quite extensive and many pretty styles in strikingly nice cloths are ready for selection.

Kimonas as gifts for ladies and

girls are always welcome and some splendid values are shown in pure wool fleece Eiderdown in old rose, cardinal, sax, mauve, navy and several other shades. There is also a large range of crepe Kimonas and dressing jackets, long and short, in very pretty designs. `

At Christmas time shopping is dou-

bly important-for there must be economy even in gift purchasing, and it is at Pat0n’s that economy finds an important part in the planning. of Christmas gifts. With assortmcnts greater by far than in any similar period in the storc’s history, surely the busy shoppers will want to make Paton's store a centre of holiday

silk are very soft and charming and include all the popular colors.

A dainty pair of silk or n pair of

handsomely embroidered stockings makes an ideal gift for any lady; or if the more substantial kinds are moredesirable a choice range is oiler- ed for selection. The man of the hose might like a pair of silk hose, see the lines offered.
