'There are two.bits of advice which it is folly to ignore in this season, The one is, "Do Your Christmas Shopping 'Early,” and, "Send Your ' Christmas Mail Early,” is the second; Fools heed neither, but if the observance of ,both is proof of rare e wisdom then the world is becoming wiser, It was but. a few weeks ago that the ,. major portion of. the Christmas shol;r- ing was done. during Christmas week, and the Christmas Tush in the mails ,did not begin until the eleventh hoe:. The result -was tha eunfavdrable'shop- ;ping ,conditions and congested` nails ruined Christmas Day for thousands. How _much, ;saner" and how much more satisfactory for all concerned .are,the :modern practises of starting eke gift -Beason in November and of starting the gifts through the mails` in ample : time to insure their punctual delivery b'hether 'one looks at the question -from the selfish or impersonal points .of view, the arguments are all in fav- or of;early shopping and early mail- . ail- .en_g. Early shopping gives one the pick. .of the new' and undcpleted Christntas stocks,' leisurely selection, more sat- isfactory service and less jostling. Early mailing -is a guarantee of time- ly delivery and minimizes the danger. s -of damage and loss in transit. Should there be any to whom these .arguments are unconvincing, let them give a thought. to the merchant and'his sales force and to the,postal employees, onedesire whoseo is to please the public, but who are power- less to help .those who won't •'help. themselves. I come along. Thus the congestion which might otherwise result is in, some ineaure avoided . It would, be easier to shop early and mail early than to delay until the crowds are greater., but habit causes some of 'its to put off a task as long as possible, It is the correction of a bad habit which the postoffice department is seeking.

BALLADS OF THE WINTER SEASON (By Edward Guest) Though some detest the ice and snow And dread King Winter's rugged ways, The chilling, winds that bite and blow, The dreary nights and dreary days 1 turn on these no timid gaze, My blood is warm, iny' heart' is stout! One fault 'with winter though I raise Its dinner parties wear me out. Rightmerrily to work I'll go Through winter's dreary murk and haze, It is :enough for me to know My fireplace and its cheery blaze.. I do not mind the snow's delays When highthe drifts are blown about, I shrink from winter's craze, Its dinner parties wear me out! The usual conversation flow, Potatoes creamed or lyonnaise, The tables where the candles glow, The awful bridge the stranger plays, The compliments the flatterer' pays, Fink punch which I could do with- out; Tis these I dread as .winter stays, Its dialler parties wear nee: out.,. To Winter I'll sing songs of praise, My' mirths its blizzards cannot root, 1\fy one dread' is the social maze,:' Itsdinner' parties wear„ ne out!

C., of Torotno,assisted by County Sol- icitor David Forrester of Paisley, while Campbell Grant of Walkerton looked after theinterests of Mrs. Fen- nell at the hearing. -It was contended by the appellants that in the original action, White and Fennell' vs. County of Bruce, that one of. the plaintiffs, Ephraim White of Moorefield, had his claim for $Eo thrown out by the court on the ground that the accident, which . occurred at the approach of the County bridge on thte zoth concession of Brant, and in which the car went over a steep : en- 'tiankment and droppednearlytwenty feet, was due largely to the careless- ness of the driver who was held as being contributory to the ''mishap. Counsel for County maintained that as the driver of the car couldn't suc- ceed in his suit, they couldn't see why Mrs. Fennell, asone of the occupants of the car, and who sustained a frac- tured collar bone and broken nose, should be entitled to compensation from Bruce under the circumstances, and that it was on this point that the appeal was argued. Her solicitor, however, . said in rebuttal that the highway was according to evidence adduced at the original trial, in an unsafe state ,and that she shouldn't be penalized for any negligence on the part of the driver. Judgment on the appeal was reserved by the Court, whose verdict will be awaited with more than ordinary interest here.
