There is one especially good thing about a Christmas present of The Youth's Companion. It shows that the giver thought enough of you to give you something worth while. It is easy to choose something costing a great deal more which is absolutely useless, but to choose a present costing only $1.75 that will provide a long year's entertainment and the uplifting companionship of the wise and great, is another matter. There is one present, however, which does just that—The Youth's Compauion. If you want to know' whether it is appropriate or welcome, just visit the home of some Companion subscriber on Companion day. Do not choose any Christmas present until you have examined the Companion. We will send you free sample copies and the beautiful prospectus for 1911, telling something of how The Companion has recently been enlarged and improved. The one to whom yon give the subscription will receive free all the numbers of 1910 issued after the money is received; also The Companion’s Art Calendar for 1911. lithographed in twelve colors and gold. These will be sent to reach the subscriber on Christmas morning, if desired. You, too, as giver of the subscription, will receive a copy of the Calendar. THE YOUTH’S COMPANION, 144 Berkeley St., Boston, Mass. New subscriptions received at this office.
