Dear Helen,
Have you; seen the pretty silk and crepe scarfs Brights have.
Just in case you hadn't, I thought you might be interested in some-
thing of this kind for your Boy Friend. The price is so reasonable
too, only $2.75. They have some really pure Irish Linen. Hdkfs too,
best quality I've seen for the money anywhere, in 3 different sizes at
35c, 50c and 60c. And, "Oh, Say," ask them to show you two
sweater coats they have, one in cardinal and one white. • I'd love to
have either one of them myself, not hinting anything, of ,course.
Merry Christmas!
ELIZABETH.

Friend Frank,—
You were asking the other day what you could get for your brother
for Christmas: Here's an idea. One of those Japanese Silk Mufflers
at Bright's, 'in a white ground with ;. a dark blue polka dot, "Gee,
they're swell" and as you know price means something to both of us,
they are only; 0.50. You see them anyway. Bright's are getting
more this week,.eo don't. waste time or you may lode out. They have
some rather good looking crepe ties' too, nicely boxed and priced to
meet our wad. ''011! Yes," and say, if you are thinking of me this
year I'll just have size 1534 of the mauve, blue, tan or white in
Bright's fancy boxed shirts with collarsto match. "Thank You,"
Best Wishes
