H nr ^drrrtismfRl*. Holiday Goods at Wanamaket's. One quarter in the store is peculiarly a Holiday quarter, a gift quarter ; a place where just a little use is made the vehicle 'for a great deal of It is lull now; full of wonders; full of pretty, things; full of silly things; full of surprises; full <ft£ what nobody experts; full opy-hat everybody expects; full, as it been full near Christmas time before. Beginning at the very cenof the store, next north two counters, one of them very large, and one half as large, filled to overflowing with perfumeries and other toilet articles and implements. We positively must not begin to mention nor even classes. only way to get away from these miraculous things is to break away. \ Next northwest is a colof small things that people used to luxury will recognize under the name small leather articles. About the biggest thing there is a fortfoho or writing-case, ocketbooks arc the commonest. But such pocketbooks ! Oil, yes you can get good substantial pocketbooks there, with not a cent of extravagance in them ; but naturally wc are thinking of the brighter ones. Leather isn't fine enough. They must enamel it, paint it, deck it out with silk and shining silver and gold. Every year people get worse and worse. Every year they must have stranger and stranger things. Silk, plush, velvet and iur bags arc there, with all their pretty and handy and cunning fastenings. But we must hurry on. Next nopkwest are writ-ing-papers. Here's room for a treatise. We're not going to stop. But anybody who passes that white-look-ing island of trade in the sea of people, without finding out what lt'a'::u.i:aier Bes' means, in or out t-f f loliduy time, is a loser. What ?. glory has a page .of * u— . ^Photograph albums are nekt on rorthwest ; and here the circle widens. Is all that long row photograph albums ? Is it possible tliat so many people didn't buy albums last year, when we brought over a ship-load almost ? There's a new set of people this year, may be. At least the photographers haven'tgoneoutof business. At this end are velvet frames ; yonder are boxes of leather and plush. You can pay $6o for a box th^ a touch will spoil. Don't suppose tliat the things put out to show, even under glass, are the line ones. Whisper to the saleswoman tliat your that you are aching to get rid ol itBrass and bronze! Oh, sec the mob of brasses and bronzes. Open your dictionary. The first word you come to has its imar : there. Preposterous things ! Have your wits about you. An artist has studied out -every one. The artist is a wag too ; for jokes abound ; little touches of humor and broad farces. So there is pathos; and beauty everywhere. But shall we presume to. discourse of ten thousand things in a shop, each of which was born of Art? Everything in Dry Goods, Wearing Apparel, and Housekeeping Appointments sent by mail, express or freight, according to cir-cumstances-subject to return and refund of money if not satisfactory.
