NEW YEAR GIFTS

HOW TO CHOOSE THEM. The clioosing of suitable New Year gifts is much more difficult thun usual this year, as owing to the war many articles that were previously available are now altogether unobtainable. Young folk are in the fortunate position of having a wide range of inexpensive articles, such as nicely-bound books, or inexpensive jewellery to choose from, but the man who has been married a few years and wishes to make a nice present to his family finds the problem of choosing a troublesome one; The ideal New Year gift for a man to make to his wife and family is one that wili mid permanently to their comfort, and make home life brighter and more attractive. The yeflt 1010 was an exceptionally prosperous year in the Dominion, and thousands of men, particularly farmers, find thcmselcves, perhaps for the first time in their lives, in. the i fortunate position of having a surplus in the bank, and are determined to make Pome long-promised improvements to the homp. During the past month mor# Mmn 130 country homes in New Zealand have been made brighter and cheerful by having "Wizard" Lighting Systems installed in them. The lighting problem is a serious one in the country, and many otherwise beautiful homes lose thejr cluirm owing to the use of smoky kerosene la nil"; r i' dim ficetvlene jets. A "Wizard Lighting System" makes an ideal „\ew Year gift, as it not only adds to the comfort of the family, supplying as it does a light better even than coal gas or electric light, but it is also a permanent, profitable investment, as the saving in cost of running, compared with kerosene, is so great that the plant pays for itself in a year or two. No great has been the demand for "Wizard" Lighting Systems during the past month that all plants in stock were sold out a week before Christmas, ana many orders have been placed in ad\ ance against a large shipment arriving in rf" few days'. Country people should drop a postcard to Messrs Early IJros., 5!) Cuba street, Wellington, the. New Zealand agents fpr "Wizard", Lighting Systems, who will, be pleased to supply all particulars, together with, a price, including the cost of fitting; for a plant of ■tny size.—Sl4,
