There are all manner of interesting things appearing in the shops these days and some of them are so festive that one's feelings rise instinctively. The display of Christmas wrappings at the Sea Captain's Shop positively makes us believe in Santa Claus after all. There are splashing big rolls of red cellophane that will glorify the most practical of gifts and other smaller but no less attractive tie-ups which will add greatly to the charm of gift packages.
Great green and red seals, silver and gold stickers, and the merriest sort of wrapping papers are also here and at very reasonable prices. Don't miss them.
And another opportunity is offered in the special sale of the goods of the Industrial Missions Centre which is opening to-day in 5 Avenue Petain, the hours being from 9.30 to 12 and three to 5.30. Mrs, Rawlinson is in America and Mrs. Stockton is not able to carry on alone, so for the present the shop is closed but friends are giving us the chance to secure some of these lovely linens for Christmas gifts. It is uncertain when the shop will be re-opened, so gather ye linens while ye may.
