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.

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

delicate touches of color.
Knitted mufilers made of artificial
silk are very soft and charming and
include all the popular colors.
I-TOSIERYI I-_IOSIERYI
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.
