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- save time. The telephone takes the place of the errand boy, the telegraph takes the place of the slow going post, but neither of these saves time; it only enables us to go faster, to do more work. The railway takes us in hours over distances which formerly occupi days; we sleep as we travel and awaken at our destination ready t go to work. We have saved no time but can do more work. And so w risii ou, acting over and over agai the tragedy of “The song of th shirt."

We ?1ose much in our haste. We wear out lives and get less out of life because we choose to act upon the principle that' there is no time. The evil of this falls the most hea- vily on the young as it places upon them the burden of facing their lifs's work unprepared. It places a burdw upon the future, also, as the founda- tions of our national and _social »li!0. unless laid upon efficiency and thor- oughness, must eventually crumble. Iiiasts and worry and inemclency go hand in hand and -neither singly nor collectively are they condllflive Y-0 happiness or permanent success. The young especially should be warned stant grind, aggravated by the fric- thoroughness, is a strain that kills the necessity of keeping the san e not in operation.

Not only citizens but visitor: 'i from a distance have gone out of their wav to see these, and, in seeing seen goods which they had not _ thought of; they came to see and re _l mained to buy. It pays to add at tractions, to make the city beautiful, ` if only for the Christmas season. 5 Electrical advertising, in moving pictures and elaborate devices have the larger cities in the United Statue and Canada. The fact that they are increasing yearly both in number and in elahorateness is abundant proof that they say. These also will be add- ei eventually in Charlottetown and they will Drove a business drawing feature as they have done elsewhere. Meanwhile we are moving on. Char- fottetown and, the province at large can this year afford to dress more ever for Christmas and it is gratify- . ing to uotu that this is being done. -_-_i____,_, 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.
