"And will he bringme something' nice?" asked the four-year-old Jack, wonderingly. "Mother's littleman will go to see Father Christmas at the Christmas Store, where the kind old gentleman is to be down underground." "But will ho stay there, Mummy?" queried her son, to which Mother explained that Father Christmas would be at Collinson and Cunninghame's on Saturday, Thursday, 16th, Saturday, ISth, and then each day until the great day of Christmas itself. "I'll take all my money for Father Christmas," said little Jack, but Mother explained that only sixpence was needed, so the little man turned over, snuggled down, and said drowsily: "Going- to see Father Christmas Saturday afternoon at Collinson and Cunninghame's," and was off to dream of all the marvels and delights of good old, dear old, jolly old Father Christmas.

CORRESPONDENCE. (To the Editor.) Sir, —Christmas stocks are coming in on every train and are being 1 unpacked and diaplayod just as quickly as possible. We want to be well prepared lor all those sensible people who are going- to do their shoppingearly. For instance, I saw in the Linen section yesterday wonderfully attractive Maderia doilios. The workmanship was exquisite—the designs marvels of ing-cnuity, and the prices 1/9, 1/11, 5/6 and 7/6 each. The Hosiery section has lovely real silk hose for women. All sizes, of course, and many different shades. They are acceptable gifts and good values at 2 7/6 pair, or three pairs for £5 10/. The dress goods buyer told me that he anticipated quite a holiday business in dress goods and silks. Ho is featuring blouse lengths especially, a dainty greeting card being given with each. The sales people will gladly tell you how much material will be required for any garment. The toy section is already overflowing with playthings, and I know every mother's child will want to see Toyland soon.—l am, etc., (MRS) SHOP EARLY.

'//////T&W/ THE VALUE OF GOOD SIGHT AND THE NECESSITY OF GIVING THE EYES PROPER CARE AND ATTENTION. Surht-testing is the work of a specialist, it cannot be learnt in a few weeks or months. It takes years of study and many years of constant practice to become proficient, and then only the man with a natural adaptability to the work is an expert. ■ Many ooticians profess to test eyes with the old-fashioned method of finding the glasses that give the best result when looking at the test-chart. Many years ago this was the only method known but science has advanced In optical work, the same as it has i» othet directions. The greatest eye specialist* of the world Practically eliminate the use of test charts. The eyes are tested, the case accuratly Sagnosed and glasses prescribed without asking the patient any aiiestiohs This is Mr Russell's method. People with defective vision slmuld not bo misled to think they have had their eyes properly tested if the operator has to rely on the test-chart and the patient's answers for his results. Our MR RUSSELL is an exceptional man in the optical nem. .rie has been*doing no other class of work but sight-testing- for over -0 years and holds the highest Qualifications an optician can possess. Sight Neglect Take Eye Troubles In Time. Si-ht neglect is a most serious neglect, Defects of vision never cure themselves. Any defect of vision will steadily grow worse.- unless it is corrected. Risrhtly fitted glasses applied early will remedy the trouble, dav vou neglect eye trouble makes it correspondingly harder to ove4omV, because of the limited power of the inside eye muscles, the \*\X constantly gets worse, and like a rolling stone down-hill, it gets wose Taster and faster. There are many thousands of spectacle wearers who foolishly put off wearing glasses as long as they couldtnoucM they were doing what was right, but who after a few days' wearing heir proper correction and discovering the immense relief a?dl"comfort obtainable, admit their foolishness and are sorry they did not have glasses long before.
