THE CHRISTMAS PROBLEM.

LABOUR, LIBERAL, AND REFORM ALL COXCEIINED.

ALL CLASSES AFFECTED

For nearly two thousand years there has boon a constantly recurring problem that must bo dccidca sooner or *ater by the Christian world. Tho different aspects of this problem that aro const-mt-ly arising make it hard in many instances to arrive at a satisfactory solution, particularly as tho whims and fancies peculiar to sex have to He adequately considered before a docuion is made. Taking for immediate roniidorntion the wishes of our womenfolk, and enlisting as a help tho data provided by tho archives of the worlds history. What do we find? Wo find that always near and dear to tho heart of \i«<inen is tho culture of beauty. In the .rnermost privacy of milady's dre?3ing-room nro always a selection of Jioico perfumery, delicately perfumed soaps, instruments for tho care of the nails, and good brushware for the toilet f tho hair. Now it stands to reason that with the big problem of what to ;;ivo this Christmas, you cannot do better than choose for a lady's gift either a c*»F.vet of exquisito porfume, some choiso toilet soap, a manicuro sot, or somo 1 ighgrade brushware. Indeed, tho of a gift for a lady becomes .-uite a simple matter when you visit the conveniently situated pharmacy of Loasby and Co., Chemists, opposite Ballantvne's. There you have in singlo bottles nnd caskets all the perfumes by tho world's leading manufacturers —each bottlo representing a veritable flower garden. Their rango of exquisitelv per. fumed soaps is also unusually large, and makes selection easy, while their English brushware —and there's no brushware nearly as good as that of English make—is a feature for which this firm is noted. Tho big problem of tlio hour can be easily decided by a visit to Loasby and Co. as far as a gift for a lady is concerned—their stock of cameras must not bo overlooked, as a camera is wclcome to young and old alike of cither sex. 6
