The Cheer-Ups arejhere. That merry little band of men that come
from Nogloom Land. “But where is itagloom Land?” say you. It is
in that warm country situated in the heart of Love, in the State of
Good Will on the Road to Kind Thoughts and Contentment. Santa
Claus is their ally and Distributing Agent.
Every little Cheer-Up has his billet—some are ensconced within your
very room; some circling around you all the time whispering mes
sages of kindness and generosity into your ear; tugging at your heart
strings; flashing messages to your mind — suggestions of gifts to
loved ones and even in your slumber chamber controlling your
dreams of gifts you hope for from others. And at the shops are
Cheer-Ups, too, deputized to see that just the happiest gifts that *
could be chosen go to the very person whom that gift wduld make
the happiest
Let’s take a trip around town and seek out these little Cheer-Ups.
Let’s bask in the warmth of their kindliness. Let’s see what they,
have to offer. Come on everyone of you. Let’s start now on the trail
of the Cheer-Ups.
Saucy curl and scarlet lip—
IA finished maiden, yes indeed,
From top of head to tip of toe!

wonderful place to eat. Such
marvellous food! Such splendid
service! Everything savory and
tasty. There are so many good
dishes that it’s quite exciting to
choose just what you most de
ar e.
Daddy says that it is so con
venient to drop in at Morrison’s
in the evening when he is too
rushed to take the time to go
dome. The food is really very
much like sure enough, honest
to- goodness home food.
1’lie busy housewife with her
bands so full of shopping and
planning for the Yuletide will
ind it a great relief to bring her
'amily to Morrison’s at this par
iculur time. She will find it a
’omfort and a saving.
