""he aim of thtse notes is to bring articles of present-dav use and interest

A Knitting 
Case.

Kingsway, W.C. Any other information will be given on request. 
Women who knit — and their name 
nowadays is Legion — will be delighted 
with some cases specially designed to hold 
their knitting needles. These 
are of soft leatlier and fold up 
into a compact roll, fastening 
with a secure clip. 
These cases are ready fitted 
with a goodly array of needles of 
different sizes, and the slots into 
wliich they fit are as a rule 
marked with the needle's 
number, so that its size can 
3e seen at a glance. There are bone needles for mufflers, 
itcel nwsdles for mittens and socks, while some crochet hooks 
ire generally included in this most complete affair. A case 
such as this is a boon to people finishing the article they are 
<nitting and not in immediate need again of their needles. 
■Ml they have to do then is to replace the needles in their case 
till next time they are wanted. It is also excellent for the 
traveller, for the case takes up no room in luggage and no 
better way of conveying knitting needles could be found. 
Some knitting needle cases are fitted with ordinary 
leedles as well, and their commencing price is 7s. 6d. Many 
jeople, however, will be better pleased with cases of knitting 
leedles for knitting needles only. They are all that could be 
.vished, are lined with moire silk, and whether made in soft 
'^reen morocco leather or in pigskin please to an equal extent. 
From all accounts the absence of fresh 
''*"h F'''°*t' '"^ ""'^^ ^* ^^^ ^''°"* '^ ^P* *° P^'^' ^^^ ^^^' 
t e ron . thing that can be sent in this way from 
England is more eagerly welcomed than any words can tell. 
This no doubt explains the immense popularity of the Christ- 
mas cases now being put up by a well-known dairy company, 
ready for sending at any moment to the Expeditionary Force. 
These cases can vary in quantity and kind, but one of the 
best liked contains six quart bottles of pure milk, 6 gill bottles 
of pure cream, 6 pots of finest preserved butter, 6 pots of 
ielicious honey, and half a dozen assorted packages of cream

CHRISTMAS AT 112, REGENT STREET. 
The Christmas Present question has been carefully considered 
It the Goldsmiths and Silversmiths, with the result that just the 
dcntical things most people are wanting can be found there. War 
las had its marked influence, and nearly everything to be seen at II2. 
<cgont Street shows it. Useless articles are in the background, and 
n thfir stead are many serviceable presents for the man on active 
icrvice, and other novelties particularly suited to the times. 
Regimental Badge jewellery is a feature here, which cannot be 
lightly passed over, for it is nothing short of perfect in both workman- 
ship and design. The same admirable taste distinguishes some ribbon 
'.jracelfts of narrow black ribbon moir6 fitted with a diamond slide 
rpresenting any initial letter. The diamonds look delightful on their 
Jark background, and the attractive article has a sentimental signifi- 
cance all its own. 
.\nother great success of the Goldsmiths and Silversmiths Com- 
pany is their Collapsible plated campaign cup. This when not in use 
telescopes one part inside another into a small pigskin case. When in 
use there is a detachable handle fitting into slots at the top and bottom 
af the cup, which keeps it absolutely extended and rigid. The price 
is but half a guinea. Officers at the F'roat are enthusiastic over this 
cup, and the firm have received many personal letters testifying to its 
worth. 
A specially-prepared Christmas Catalogue lias just been brought 
out and is well worth sending for. Small though it is, it lias never- 
theless a wealth of illustrations and is full of valuable hints from cover 
to cover. W'ith such a catalogue for guide suitable presents can be 
found in the twinkling of an eye to the infinite satisfaction of all con- 
rrned.

THE SUCCESS 
* of the Burberry has 
been : phenomenal. Its in- 
estimable value on Active

thousands of Officers who 
keenly appreciate its 
wet-resisting properties —

airy lightness — self-ventila- 
tion — freedom — workman-

strength and durabiUtv. 
fHE REPUTATION 
* won by the Burberry 
during the South African 
War has been more than 
justified during the present 
campaign, which has con- 
clusively proved it to be the 
most efficient safeguard 
available against the rain, 
snow, wind, cold, mud and 
water which are the everj'- 
day conditions under which 
our own and our gallant 
Allies' Armies are fighting.
