Addendum: The bibliography for last month was made up before the publication of the authoritati book, "John Sargent," by the Hon. Evan Charteris. It should certainly be listed as the latest and best book on Sargent.

DECEMBER

(Reg U. S. Pat. Of.)

1927

Very well, I shall gladly tell you again how to use the Fifth Avenue Section-
and get the most out of Christmas.

First read it carefully and then realize that everything illustrated is actually
five times more attractive-looking than the picture.

Look through recent numbers. They are also full of gift suggestions.

To order anything, write me, enclosing a money-order or check made payable
to "Virginia Walton."

If you wish me to shop for something not illustrated, please give full descrip-
tion and suggest about how much you wish to pay.

No jungle maze is more baffling than New York's shopping district to a stranger.
I know every crook and turn, and tracking down the elusive gift is all in the
day's work. Half the fun of Christmas is giving presents, but finding them is
not always so pleasant. Let me do as much for you as I can.

For generations epicures have preferred the exquisite flavor of
freshly ground pepper. These Silver Peppermills made in Lon-
don make distinguished gifts. Suitable for the engraving of
monogrammes or crests.
