Want of time appears to be the

crowning difficulty of the present day.

Everybody is in a hurry. There is no time to walt, no time to prepare for our life's work; the work must be done Somclww. anyhow and at once. The world is full of labor-saving de- vices; machines do the work former- ly done by many hands, but they on-

NOTES

Again the advice is handed out, free

'of charge, do your Christmas shop- iping now. The rush days immediately ebefore Christmas are not the days in ‘which to make careful and satisfact- ory selections. The stores are now in h°|ld1\Y dress and are really attract- ive, In justice to those who have tak- en the trouble and borne the expense, of decorating them, if for no other` reason, they should be visited and the "other reasons" will assert them- selves during the visit. We have it on the authority of old resfdenm that Charlottetown stores never looked as attractive as they do today.

Sir Arthur J. Evans, the (among
