SUCCESSFUL SIIOPPING DAY

Anyone visiting the shopping centres yesterday

could not fail to note the bustle and stir incidental to Christmas shopping. The people as a whole are re- sponding to the enterprise of the business men and are shopping early--the inducements being greater variety to choose from and cheaper prices to facilitate sales. In the old days storekeeper and purchaser were satistieil to wait till the last three days befort the tireat Day. 'l`hen there was a crush, confusion and many disappoiiittiients, not only to the customers but to the storekcepers as the splendid stocks they had to display did not receive the attention and patronage they merited. Spreading the Christmas buying over :i larger period is fairer to everybody concerned, and we are pleased to find both storekecpers and custom- ers so lo_\'alTy working hand-in-hand for the common good. As a matter of course, the best advertised stores get the bulk of the Christmas trade this year as they did last year. “_The stores about which tnost news is printed are the storep abouti which most interest centres-always, btit especially, on special occasions like the present. The ad-reading shopper knows what she wants, what it should cost, where to look for it. The other shoppers know what they want, perhaps; but guess at the rest of the problem. The shopper \vho is not informed, through ad-reading, may have "luck" enough to buy to the best advantage; while the ad-reading shopper makes it “a business matter.”

Elsewhere in this paper appears the Financial Re-

port of the Red Cross from the institution of the pro- vincial branch to November 30th. The amount col- lected to that date, $12,481.69, is fairly creditable when taken in conjunction with _the different other funds subscribed-but, as in the case of the others, we can- not yet call halt. In this connection it is worth recall- ing that the Belgian Fete Fund, concluded only a few days ago amounted to $3,462.19, credit for which is largely due to the energetic efforts of Mr. D. ]. Riley, Secretary-Treasurer, and Mr. \V. H. Aitken, Chair-

lllafli lt

The need for the Red Cross Fund grows as the'

war continues and there must be no let up till the war closes. The Treasurer informs us that many sections of the province are doing splendidly in maintaining their share of this fund, notably Kensington and Mal- peque, which are sending in on an average about $l0o each per month; Other sections which began well have apparently become \vcaried and their contribu- tions no\v are confined largely to the proceeds of con- certs, lectures, socials, etc., all good in themselves and gratefully received, but indicating a marked falling oft' iii individual contributions. ~

To adequately maintain these funds there must be

regular monthly or other periodical payments and this the organizers are endeavoring to encourage as far as possible. `\

As to the great need of the fund and otir obliga-

tion to provide it there is tio need of elaboration. It is for wounded. to provide necessaries for those who are doing otir work and who have suffered and are stif- fcriiig and \vho have a right to all that we can do for

them. \\/'c trust that during the coming year there t shall be such regular and systematic giving as will ] show to the boys that we are with them in more than C

in spirit, that we are ready to sacrifice a little for them

- o

So far wc have made no sacrifices. We enjoy all the 0 luxuries and comforts we enjoyed before the war and ¢ are taking life as agre-cably and as pleasantly as if I, there were no war and no suffering that we could help 3

to alleviate. We need to take these matters more ser-

- . . C iously and take our legitimate share of the burden.

Canada and Australia.

the same sort of hisiory _covering about a century. Botli began as wild countries, peopled sparsely with native inhabitants, in unknown, unexplored regions of

and strain of the modern city and the silence of im- memorial primeval nature. In both the early poetry has been largely immigrant, but in the latter half of the century native poetry has glreatly increased. It is interesting to note that, as \ve have heard from the Front, there is a common colonial feeling, and that the Canadian and Australian soldiers draw together like the young people in an old home. But there are striking diH`erences. Canada is of the North, Austra- lia esse'ntially.Southeri1. The Rqd Indian is more romantic and picturesque than the black fellow. Can- ada, too, has a large French province and element, and also a huge neighbour whose influence cati not but affect us. Australia is more homogeneous and more isolated. The Imperial life and poetry of Canada is comparatively modern, and might be said to'~have be-

rather than to-day, for in it he felt it necessary to ad- jure Canada by the memories ,of Montcalm and Wolfe to \vake and bestir herself-a note now no longer need- ed and not so often heard. Anotherpoet of the same name, Theodore Roberts, has struck what is more the note of to-day in “The Reckoning,” in which he warns the world that

came his “Hymn of Empire,” made famous by Mr. Chamberlain’s quotation-:true Iiriperial poetry strik ing the note of Canada's sttengthand of her high and noble aim. His poems from the Front, such as “On the Rue dc Bois,” about a wayside Crucifix, or “Re- quiescant,” or “O Canada, any country and my love,” carry still further the samc_id_eals. The notes of the Empire then as found in Calnadian poetry are three- love of the new home, Cana' a; love of the old home, England; love and loyalty E0 the, vast whole which unites both and links the patst and the present to the future-the Empire itself.

As representative of Australia, Sir Herbert quoted,

Adam Lindsay Gordon, Mr. Douglas Sladen, Mr. Wil-

up a delightful lecture, (whidi has been largely quot ed and referred to), with the following splendid tribute:

“Both the deeds and the wiords of the Children of

PARIS, Dec. 14.-The National

Council of French Womep, after de- ciding not to take part. in any inter- national political congress during the war, has issued hhe following mani-

festo: _

“The German women are making

thers, wives, daughters and sisters, wh have not lost but have given all thai ismost precious to us, must make demonstrations for war.

"We must not let a word of peace

be uttered unqil our dear dead are avenged, our country liberated, and a great victory achieved. We do not want war for war's sake: we want war for the sake of peace. y

"French women, love and be worthy*

of your country. If we cannot give our blood, let us give our heart and soul."
