NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
santa’s Great Fuvilee’s : 
Begun. 
* After plans which were commenced on, before pou 
$ were fairly through enjoping the surprises of one year 
ago, old Santa commenced the work of gathering up 
pretty things, first in one country, and then in another, 
one while studying out what would be best adapted to 
. mother’s sweet wishes, then starting offonthetaskot , 
pleasing Edward's sweetheart, and so on, thinking out 
what would be most pleasing to you all till at last bis 
task was done. 
2 Back some weeks ago the many things commenced arriving here, ° 
and it seemed before they stopped that it was allotted for us to do 
more than our share toward the distributing of the gifts for this 1905 
Xmastide. : 
: To still retain his preference as the store above all stores to re- 
ceive the prettiest things was truly quite a problem this year because 
you know he has a great memory and the successes of today, with 
him, must be o’ershadowed by greater ones tomorrow, and you know s 
how bewilderingly beautiful our Xmas store has been each succeed- 
ing year, so you may imagine we had to be up and thinking and doing. 
The task is finished. The beautiful Yuletide store satisfies Old Nic 
2 and now awaits your decision. ® 
* 
If the spirit of Xmas has not as yet o’ercome you, a sight of this 
store will at once instill into you an enthusiasm that will fairly make 
you grin and you will almost hear the tinker of his reindeers’ bells 
as you surely did when younger, as off he went just as you thought 
@ 
you were going to get a peep of him coming down the chimney. 
To say that the many things gathered are prettier than ever is 
being too modest. No two seasons before have shown such marked 
improvement. 
Even from the little rocker for baby, up to the most costly piece 
of furniture for papa, there are improvements and beauty that will 
fairly make you laugh; and in the decorative line, as for example, the 
bric-a-brac; the sight of it on our first floor will lead you to believe 
that you are in a veritable Fairy Land. This is sure to be a memor- N 
able Xmas. Everything more handsome and tke purse not made to . 
suffer. : 
Start the fun at once—now—come down and see the pretty tnd 
things. “Twill give you new ideas, and make your shopping the 
easier. Goods purchased now held for later delivery. 
Titus’, the store with always the prettiest things.
