Look for gifts like these. . . that the bride can use for the present and chrish for the future. Rugs are getting to be among the precious gifts. There still are rugs to be had in the stores, even though they are not being manufactured on the old basis. An Oriental scatter rug will give finish to most any room, or if yvou are feeling really generous, you can even give a rug that‘s a size larger than a scatter. Hooked rugs are usable in many places too. So are those pretty reedletuft cotton rugs which are made in vatierns to match bedspreads; a set of this sort would make the most disâ€" couraging bedroom up and preen itself. ~Or if yvyour bride is clever about making things, a canvas design with yarn to work a hooked needlepoint rug would be appreciated.

Bucovetsky on behalf of : the merâ€" Ichants interested in the Kiwanis "Buy at HMHcome‘" camnaign asked for an inâ€" crease in the transient traders‘ license fee in town. He pointed out that many oldâ€"established business men in the camp were finding the times difficult. Comnetition was keen enough without the danger there avpeared to be of unâ€" fair competition. On account of conâ€" ditions in the South there were a large | number of stocks on the marâ€" ket and there were vlans on foot to bring these stocks to town by transâ€" ients whno would slaughter the goods and move out after a month or two. The stccks might not be good or upâ€" toâ€"date and the nublic would be the losers consequently, as well as the merâ€" ‘chants naving taxes here. The present ltransient traders‘ license was not high enough to ston this bad practice and he !suggested it be made $500. This would not ston legitimate merchants coming |here and it would have no effect at All on a citizen starting up as he would not come under the restriction. Mr. Bucovetsky referred to the fees elswhere and showed the fee for Timmins at present was too low to protect the town taxpayers. Mayor Drew sad the council would keep the question in mind and he sugested that | the merchants might send in a petition in the mati.er to the council. On the Move Glass is a very American and is not at this writing threatened with scearcâ€" ity.: If vour bride is on the move, we‘d advise against dozens of fine sherbets and cordials and tea glasses.. . let her get what she needs of such things on the spot and as inexpensively as posâ€" sible. They‘re hard to pack and move and heartbreaking to break. But don‘t take that to mean we‘re advising against fine glass.
