THE CHRISTMAS THOUGHT.
Ideas on Christmas giving are rapid
ly changing among the sensible. Those
who think as they give are looking for
a year-round service as tlSe important
thing. ?
In a week of shopping, with all its
Strain, you will not find a better gift
thap a year's subscription t?o Youth's
Companion. It offers its service, its
clean entertainment, its fine suggestive
ness week after week ; and the end of
the year, which finds many a gift in
the attic, dust-covered and forgotten,
brings The Companion again, with all
the charm of last Christmastide.
N'o American monthly at any price
offers the same amount of reading, and
-none can, offer better jpmlity.^ _ LftML
than four cents a week provides this
best of Christmas gifts ? $2.00 a year.
If you- subscril>e now. all the remain
ing issues of the year will l?e sent free,
and The Companion Home Calendar.
A copy of- the Calendar iS^ftlsosent to
those who make a gift subscription.
Send for sample copies, and the Fore
cast- for 101Q. The^ Youth's Compan
ion, 144 Berkeley St.* Boston, Mass.
