|9our Cfjtltircn’S Christmas 
P ERHAPS you can remember when you 
ate your supper from a favorite plate— 
way back in your nursery days. Things 
tasted lots better when you saw the face of 
Humpty-Dumpty or Old King Cole smiling 
up at you. Your children, and the children 
of your friends, are just as much interested 
in the character of Mother Goose as you 
used to be. 
Nine-piece Set as illustrated—$8.50. Bread-and- 
Milk Set of four pieces, consisting of jug, bowl, 
6 in. plate and mug—$4.25. 
So we have prepared a new series of Mother 
Goose Nursery Sets. The important task of 
interpreting these characters in a modern 
way was entrusted to one of the best-known 
artists in the country—H. Hymer, whose de¬ 
signs and illustrations are familiar to all 
lovers of modern art. 
His designs were sent to England, where 
they were reproduced on each of the pieces 
of these four sets—Humpty-Dumpty, The 
Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe, Old King 
Cole and Mother Goose herself. 
Peter, Peter, Pumpkin Eater screen of wood, with three folds, hand 
painted—$28.50. 
Folding chair, white enamel, upholstered in figured cretonne—$2.00. 
Folding table to match—$2.75. 
Solid mahogany 
child’s rocker uphol¬ 
stered in hair cloth 
—$18.75. 
T HIS is the first year since 1914 when the 
spirit of Christmas is not shadowed by 
clouds in Europe. Let it be a merry one for 
every member of your family—and especially 
for the youngsters 
who have felt the 
effects of the war 
without knowing 
why. Every year 
we make provision 
for the gifts of 
grown-ups here at Lewis & Conger’s, but this 
year we have also taken special care to be ready 
for you when you come to find your children’s 
presents. 
Child’s tray for circular table— 
$2.25. Also made for square table. 
SMALL FURNITURE FOR SMALL PEOPLE 
W HEN your grandmother was a little 
girl, your great-grandfather made her 
a rocking chair, just her size. It was so 
sturdy and so comfortable and she liked it 
so much that big people have been making 
chairs like that for 
little people ever 
since. We have 
lots of them—for 
your little girl.
