What is often spoken of as the greatest set of books every written is ''The Book of Knowledge", for sale at the Chinese American Publishing Ca. This set consists of twenty volumes, with 10,000 educational pictures, answering for children such questions as ''Why do we grow old?" "Where does the wind begin?' and "Where do thoughts come from?'' The Bubble Books—with three records in each book—are fairy stories with real music that the fairies and Mother Goose characters sing—on your gramophone. Just the present for a business man is a real leather portfolio, wallet, or card case, beautiful styles of which are obtainable at this shop; and if something small and useful is desired, there is a good selection of Eversharp and Modern Pencils, Sta-Sharp gold, silver, and nickel pencils, Waterman and Sal-bro fountain pens and Whiting's writing paper.
A Heavy Pack for Santa Claus.
A feature of the Christmas display at Weeks & Ca. are the Wireless Telegraph outfits, on which messages can be received. These with the Gilbert telegraph outfits and Erector sets (which are fitted with electric motors and stocked in nine sizes) will be a most practical gift for any boy. If Santa Claus has to carry in his bag all the wonderful toys which Weeks & Ca. have provided for him he will be a heavy ily laden man, for there are dressed dolls with moving eyes, walking dolls, boys' and girls' Kynoch cycles, fretwork outfits, and splendid British-made toy army sets, complete from men to guns. In the Ladies' Department many useful gifts will be found such as Kayser silk underwear and hose, beautiful knitted sweaters in charming new colours and stylish designs, fashionable ostrich feather boas in taupe and grey, a wide range of organdi, lace, pique, and lawn collars, and beautiful suede gloves—always an acceptable present at Christmas. The furnishing department at Weeks & Ca. has nothing but the best, and a glance at their very de-curative window display will convince one that advice received in this department along artistic lines will be worth heeding.
