EKEAT EXPECTATIONS.
T>nt> a' the firoprlet?rs of a leading do
ypunmtart s:r.r* s?id yesterday . that
?lie Kiicifipinc so f.v had been the largest
hi' stow tuja fT?r known, one of Sev?
ern! conttltions woisld readily explain that
ciriMimnaiTiet w33ib?nt any or.e them be
ilng that :-:e TUchTaond re-ople are spend?
ine mon? mnncr thin formerly.
iSlnr.y have 'esjawsssa the opinion that !
iti? upprrifi chine -ChriRims-s would not be !
up morry as last, axid not s? large an l
nmrnint n'. money would be spent, on ae
B?.117M <il the losses by those who held ?
pii>ci:s. mi? because pnme of the great
.Tnanuin-'uirmc jilLr.ts have been cutting
?lown tlnj;r for?es. But either the one or
ihs? nrhnr Will hB.rf.ly ?be felt except by the
.Individuals oonocraefl. Eichmond and Its
suburbs bosUt eia brae* UO.iTk? persons.
Th<- misfortune of s few or even of a
cIliks. is bin remotely fell by the great
body. WMli- some are poorer, others
ore rlchsir and the world "wags on" just
ti?'. SU.BI P..
ALL WILL CELEBRATE.
The desire for relebrat.ng, a hook?
worm, so to speak, seems to be worry
teg Richmond people more than ever
before anyway.
-Not for a decade, if ever before, was a
Thanksgiving Day so generally observed
as that just past. People work harder
hire now than ever before. Thoy are
responding more than over to the demand
of the limes for quickness of movement
and alertness of mind. When a season
of rest and recreation comes the domami
for the enjoyment of It Is Irresistible. A
genuinely merry Christmas may be ex
preted und preparation for It Is being
made on a large scale.
The Ingenuity of man Is mightily taxed
to prepare 'new things for Christmas
shopping. Something must be found to
catch the jiopular fancy. It Is a real
problem with thousands each year to
relcct articles they wish to give tbelr
friends. If the shop keepers secures at?
tractive novelties and thus helps to dis?
pel tho difficulty he has won many cus?
tomers. Each of tne big stores has
gotten some striking novelties. Ono
brought beautiful needle-work of rare
beauty, of the most delicate blendlngs
of color, of soft look and touch, from
foreign lands, scores of beautiful and
useful articles In agate from Denmark;
another brought celluloid novelties and
many other ingenuous small things from
Germany; yet another has searched the
marts of the old country and the new
burnt wood and leather goods whl.?u
were never so popular as now. A Gib?
son girl with her head on a leather cush?
ion is a thing often seen and very pleas?
ing.
JEWELRY NOVELTIES.
The etores _?eem*d to havo provided
themselves' m?re abundantly with books
this season than ever before. One ?lore
proudly claims It has every book one
may call for. It Is true that the stores
aie selling standard works from 5 cents
up.
Of course, the department stores pre
B(-ni the busiest appearance, because ot
the great variety of goods thoy carry
attracting almost every variety of
toste. The buyers of these stores have
done tbelr difficult work well. Richmond
shoppers are as well provided for, doubt?
less, as are those of the great Northern
eitles, where deiiartment stores occupy
a sQuare of ground space and pile aloft
to the clouds.
Indications are - that the people of
Richmond are going to give some very
handsome presents tills Christmas. The
jewelry uores are already doing an ex?
cellent bus.ness. They, loo, have novel?
ties to olfer. Chief of these Is tho sil?
ver deposit on cui glass. The eflect Is
very striking and perfume bottles, de
?.mere, fin ska, water bottles and a
oozen other articles promhe to to fa
vcrltc gifts. "TUnny gloss" ware also
promises to be favorites. The old Shef?
field wallers of copper, heavily plated
with silver, are again thrusting them?
selves upon public attention, after many
years of undisturbed slumber in garrets
of castles und ancient mansions.
Besides the sho; ping tor (.'l.rlstmus
there is Hie market man to be Interview?
eci. But It I? too early for this. No
fumino need he feared, though edibles
are going to be up In "e" prices.
