What Shall It Be? That's the question that is asked over and over again when there is a present to be chosen for a grad uate. Most people agree that it should come from a jewelry store —be- cause somehow jewelry and pres ents are always associated; If those interested only knew it, we could relieve them of their un certainty in a minute. Our stock furnishes the hint. It reveals in a minute more appropri ate presents than anyone could sit at home and recall in a whole day. So we invite buyers of presents, and wc promise to make their choosing easy and their choice satisfactory. J. 0.

The first one was on Saturday night at 10 o'clock where he was called, noon, at his home, to bind Mr. Norman Mornton and Miss Ethel Glambvin the bonds of ma trimony.
