SHOPPING GUIDE
Nowhere is the spirit of Christmas better exemplified than in the shopping centres of the city. The crowds thronging the streets and round every shop counter, and the general atmosphere of festivity and free spending bespeak a determination to make Christmas —one institution m a changing world that seems always to retain its traditional permanence and popularity—a time of goo wi .an merriment. Reports from Invercargill shop keepers indicate that the Christmas period this year will be one of the busiest for some years, and this fact will go to make Christmas 1937 a time of real happiness for everyone. It is a least day that is celebrated in unison throughout the world wherever white races are to be found, and although the climate in New Zealand makes the circumstances of its celebration different from those of Great Britain with its blazing Yule logs and its traditional snow, the spirit of peace and goodwill is none the less the same.
