I In Anticipation of i the Festive Season f A v

THE chief charm of Christmas is its simplicity. It is a festival that appeals to everyone, because everyone can understand it. Christmas is the time of giving. Christmas is the festival of friendship. Above all, and this fact must never be forgotten, Christmas is the time for children. It is good to be children sometimes, said Charles Dickens who, incidentally, knew as much about human nature as the most of us, and never better than at Christmas. At this time of giving, what has Auckland to offer? Auckland has much to give. A wide expanse of harbour, dotted with pohutukawa fringed islets, gleaming beaches and wooded glens, for those who love

PRESENTS FOR THE HOME > QHRISTMAS is the festival of friendship, when friends and relatives visit each other, and enjoy one another’s hospitality. It is, therefore, more important at this time than any other that friends should look to the comfort of their visitors, particularly as regards comfortable beds and mattresses. Wickens and Sutcliffe, the progressive house furnishers in Karangahape Road (next Melvern’s stores) stock the best bedding and bedsteads at the lowest prices, and In addition have a wonderful range of Englishmade cushions, in very choice designs, at the low prices of from 2s Gd to 22s 6d. Among the many suitable Christmas presents stocked by them may be mentioned brass and antique smokers’ sets, ash trays, vases, copper kerbs and firescreens, and other small pieces for the home that are appreciated by all the family. CERTIFICATE IS “0.K.” It is certified that the ‘‘Thrifty Shoppers’ Movement” booklet is absolutely genuine in its representations and will save the holder pounds by using the book. A NEW "HAT FOR CHRISTMAS TP a man walks down the street perfectly tailored in a 9gns or a lOgns suit and wearing a cheap hat somewhat the worse for age, everyone notices that there is something not quite finished about this gentleman. Yet there are scores of men who have purchased a fine new suit for •Christmas but have not completed their dress with a new hat. The suggestion of Bert. Marshal], the Hat King, in Symonds Street, of “treat yourself to a new hat for Christmas” is well within the means of every man, as Bert. Marshall is selling a special line of hats, in all sizes and colours, at 8s lid each. Bert. Marshall also stocks other brands of hats, such as Battersby’s, Sutton’s, and Borsalinos, at prices from 15s 6d to 26s 6d. Excellent stocks are also maintained of such seasonable articles as men’s fancy shirts, fuji neglige shirts, bathing costumes and socks and ties. TUI FOR GOOD CHEER TN many homes no Christmas is complete without the traditional bottle of pale ale. Reminiscent of old English customs and of good cheer, “Tui” Pale Ale and Stout is a New Zealandbrewed product that should be enjoyed by everyone. ‘Tui” is made from the finest malt and hops, and is of uniformly high quality, and always in. perfect condition. It is brewed at Mangatainoka, and sold everywhere throughout New Zealand. , THE WELL-DRESSED MAN EVERY mah wants to look his best and be well dressed on his holiday vacation, but many are unable to decide just where to purchase suitable articles. It is Interesting to know, therefore, that George Connell, the Men’s Wear House* 54 Ponsonby Road (opposite Western Park) makes a specialty of supplying holiday outfits. Among his stock are a splendid range of such holiday necessities as Coney Island bathing suits, at all prices from 10s 6d. Cream cardigans, with collar, at 29« 6d, and cream lumber jackets, which are very popular this summer, at 32s 6d and 39s 6d. Full stocks are also maintained of ties, Luvisca shirts, fancy socks in all the latest patterns and Borsalino hats. LOW-PRICED HOLIDAY WEAR TYURJNG the holiday season more than at any other time of the year, everyone wants to be smartly and suitably dressed for all outdoor functions. This is recognised by Smarts, whose shop is at the reservoir corner, Newton, and every effort made to offer correct and smart apparel at prices well within everyone’s reach. Among the Christmas specials may be mentioned ladies’ silk hose with the new point heels, from 2s 6d to 5s lid, all-wool Canadian ladies’ and gent’s bathing-suits at Ss lid and 9s 9d, Coney Island style at all prices, and men’s cream gabardine trousers at lls 9d. RELIABLE FURS ’ woman loves a beautiful fur coat and a fine shoulder fur, but many people are unable to decide what is really good quality and therefore they refrain from buying. Another thing that deters them is the doubt as to the genuineness of the article. However, by consulting a reliable firm such as the Melba Fur Company, Limited, 288 Queen Street. Auckland, one can be certain of obtaining the genuine article, and satisfaction is guaranteed. NOTHING OVER 3/6 rpHE opening of a store which stocks *■*- nothing valued at over 3s 6d is one of the most interesting announcements made in recent weeks. This is Woolwortli’s Store, which has opened at 5 Karangahape Road, where every-day articles can be purchased at astonishingly low prices. Mass production and mass selling is said to be the secret. Needs and novelties of every description can be purchased in the store, including a great array of Christmas presents, such as toilet requisites,'toys, j hardware, glassware, crockery and i men’s and ladies’ cotton and artificial j silk hose.
