ONCE more Christmas, the season of celebration and joviality, is here.Un- fortunate will be the family which does not have a party of some sort, for it is this occasion of Christmas puddings, gifts, and good fun which is looked forward to most eagerly.Let us see what we can do to make the next Christmas party a greater success than ever. If you have a party at your house, some of the effects, stunts, or agames you can enjoy will be the making of your evening. This article will tell you how to enlist radio m the cause.No costly apparatus other than that usually available is required.No doubt any of your visitors may be able to supply an item you haven't on hand.

And they all loved their Prince, because he was just and kind and 'needful (so it,was said almost every day in the chief and most respectable newspapers). and he didn't tax them very heavily. Yet his revenues were sufficientforhis needs; his palace was the most gorgeous palace in the universe-not even excepting the local talkie theatres; his servants were the most respectful, handsome, and efficient; and every evening he dined off platinum dinner services setwith diamonds, sapphires. and rubies.Every modern labor-saving device, every modern time -passing machine found its place in his palace; for. of course. his artisans and merchants always presented him with the best of their new imporra,icns or inventions, which he always accepted with the utmost graciousness and civilitySuch as ever his manner to the meanest. no less than to the most powerful, of his subjects.

The soothsayer went up to the cabinet, fum.t.!ed, and drew a bolt. The whole front of the cabinet swung forward, and a girl stepped out into the light. To say she was beautiful would be foolish. Her face was a dream of fair faces; her body lithe and supple; her blonde hair gleamed-it was all youth and freshness and loveliness.

"To Dad from Bill"and wasn't Dad just tickled to death when he opened up a new set of Philips Valves for tl-at short-wave set of his. Mother was particularly pleased when she saw the beautiful new Philips Speaker which Uncle John had sent her. She had always quietly disliked that big horn speaker in the drawing -room. Nearly all of the family were radio enthusiasts and seemed to get radio presents, and of course only the best is good enough for Christmas, so they all got Philips.Dad was perhaps the most pleased when young Harry ope ned an interesting looking parcel and brought to light a Philips Trickle Charger and Pjwer Unit, for it meant that no more hard cash had to be laid out to supply Harry with batteries for his super -set.In fact, the whole family were delighted with their "Philips" Christmas.
