Christmas Sentiment—Its Modern Expression
Christmas Sentiment—Its Modern Expression.
Readers of this Journal will be greatly interested in the seasonable suggestion of how they may best express Christmas sentiment and grood-will.
Much has been said recently of the growing interest of peoples of the world, in events—past and present in other spheres; in customs and life in strange countries; in acquiring a true appreciation of art in its many forms and in gaining knowledge, culture and broader vision.
This universal thirst for knowledge suggests to readers the thought that information on all these vitally interesting subjects can be easily given to those to whom they desire to give really appropriate gifts, in the form of gift works such as Universal History of the World; Lands and Peoples; The World's Famous Pictures; I-See-All Pictorial Dictionary. These works are available in handsomely bound sets of volumes and can be obtained on an easy payment method ' A gift of this nature will demonstrate discrimination and earn the utmost appreciation.
For full particulars see the announcement on page 3 of this issue.

The wonderful limestone formations in the Ruakuri Caves (Waitomo), North Island, New Zealand.
Waitomo Caves, seven miles from the North Island Main Trunk railway station of Hangatiki, are served by a spiendid accommodation house, and have a reputation equal to that of the famous Jenolan Caves of New South Wales. All the wonderful still life of limestone caves, the grottos, cathedral scenes, and other chaste designs—these the Waitomo Caves posses abundantly. And they have a novel feature in the glow-worms that “flsh” for insect life, which are at once a biological curiosity and a brilliant spectacle of the dark underground.
