This Christmas Give Your Wife an Electric An Electric for her very own—what more enjoyable surprise could your wife receive on Christmas morning? Every woman longs to own an Electric. Every woman knows the comfort, convenience and heightened social prestige it gives. Why not make this the happiest Christmas ? Your wife would love to, drive about in her own Electric— quiet, fashionable, simple and safe. She can pay her social calls; do her shopping; attend the theatre and re- ception. You will enjoy the conve- nience of it, too. And Christmas is the season of seasons for an Electric. The cold, biting winds and snow flurries without make you feel all the cosier within an Electric. There is such exhilarating pleasure in gliding noiselessly down the boulevard, through the park, threading in and out of congested traffic—quickly, easily, without bother or effort. Driving an Electric is simplicity itself—notrouble whatever. Any woman—even a child—can op- erate an Electric efficiently. The first cost of an Electric is decidedly moderate when you consider its last- ing, satisfactory service. Mainten- ance expense and cost of power is far lower than that for other types of cars. Interesting literature about Electric Vehicles sent gladly. Write today.

One warm evening she leaned pen- sively over the flowers as though com- pletely worn out. Then she began her strange evolutions. It was so ex- tremely hot that such exercise seemed the height of folly, But in spite of the heat, or because of it, she seemed pos- sessed of a demon. She jumped higher than ever before and swung her arms with a ferocity that was actually un- pleasant. Now and then he heard her whoop in triumph and again a peal of horrid laughter rang out vibrantly. Suddenly a terrible conviction came to him. The young woman was af- fected by a day that had felled horses by the dozen. This was no dance but a maniacal frenzy! In another mo- ment probably she would fling herself out of the window! He waited not another second but rushed down the stairs. Up the street he hurried until he reached the en- trance to the other hou A boy sat at a switchboard. Billie broke out breathlessly. “There's a friend of patient—I should say—top st—flowers in the window!” “That's Miss Kirk—' id the boy, somewhat surprised by Billie’s hatless excitement. “She's home. You can go right up.” Billie climbed manfully. He would have to subdue her by force, maybe? His courage began to ebb. A voice hailed him on the sixth floor, “Is that you, doctor,” it asked. Billie took the cue. Doctor? What could be better. He stopped at an open door and confronted his poster lady. She looked at him smiling curiously. “Oh—” she said. “I thought—I can’t exactly place you? Do you come from the hospital? Sit down.” She was quiet now and seemed per- fectly sane. The room was neat and sanitary looking with white enamel and antiseptic glass furniture. He be- gan to feel desperately uncomfortable. Suddenly she broké out laughingly. “Now I know you. You're the man with the field glasses! I thought you were trying to flirt—but you were so solemn about it—I concluded —” “T was interested in your dance,” he blurted out; “I hope you'll excuse me? You are a wonderful dancer.” “I'm not a dancer,” she gurgled; ma trained nurse.” “T've seen you dancing about here evenings,” he stumbled awkwardly. 238 Winter Weather j is ; , Tirenew Weather Mad, Snow, Slush— this sneans that your tires are practically running in water—moisture is constantly soaking into the tire fabric through the cuts in the outside rubber coating, rotting the tire, shortening its life and inviting blow. outs and rim-cuts, Waterproofs and Protects A liquid, unvulcanized rubber compound with a base of pure gum; thoroughly waterproofs the fabric, protectsand preserves the whole tire—the liquid tire insurance against oil, moisture andair, Makestires look like new, trenew Betore Storing— don't store your car without first Tirenewing the tires InsIDE AND OUT—it will prevent stor- age deterioration.
