·BUSY TIME AT THE LEADING SHOPS.
Christmas shopping may be jolly for the shoppers, but to the assist- ants behind the counters it must spell many weary hours of rush work,
Our representative took a stroll round the leading stores, in town yesterday and he reported that all the windows were so attractively arranged that ho dared not atare too long as there was something in cach which was just what he want- ed."
A look into the windows of Lane, Crawford's and Whiteaway's whero there are wonderful displays of toys made one wish one wert M little boy again. There are things to please every kiddie-from `n few months old to `seventy""" years of nge! There are also every species of toy dogs-dogs with smiling faces, dogs with frowning faces, and dogs which have an appealing look in their cych, almost begging you to come in and take. them away.
There are also ideal presenta of all descriptions for both ladies and gentlemen at both these houses.
The first thing that strikes one of looking into the show-room of the Hong Kong Electric Company's window is a beautiful model of a railway scene not a detail has been forgotten. The engine and trucks are there, as, are numerous and cunningly-built tunnels, each one surmounted with minuto imitations of various types of trees and shub- berry. It was, indeed, a vory at- tractive display.
Mackintosh's and Powell's have Romo very nice dressing gown, neck-tits and handkerchiefs and, in fact, everything masculine to offer.
Ан regards the departmental stores-Sincere Co., Wing On Co., and Sun Co.-there is a host of beautiful things to choose from and

THE GOSPEL STORY.
Mary brought forth her first-born son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes; and laid him in a mangor, because there was"
10-rcom for them in the inn.
And there were, in the same country, shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shona round about them and they were soro afraid. And the angel. said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of grent joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you in born this day, in the city of David, a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you--Ye shall find the babe wrapped in 'awaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
And, suddenly, there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God and saying,
Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace,
Good will towards men.
And it care to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said ono to another,, Lot us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us. And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger. And when they had seen it, they made known abroad tho saying which was told them wooncerning this child.-St. Luke ii.
