Bob O'Neill of R.A. .-,O'Neill Antiques in Bowman- vIlle. Witquns By Mary Ann Warkman Having been n wholesnler before he opened his antique shop here three years ago, Mr. O'Neill says husbands and wives give antique gifts to each other. People who know of a friend's interest in antiques wili also give a relic of the past. There are aiso many books related to the subject of antiques that make special gifts. The two I mention here are only a sampie of a marvelous selection of books most suitable for Christmas giving or in fact, for any time of the year. THE COUNTRY DIARY 0F AN EDWARDIAN LADY by Edith Hoiden, pubiished in Great Britain and distributed exciusively in Canada by Thomas Nelson and Sons, Don Mîlis, 186 pages, hardcover, $14.95. Not many of us are fortun- ate enough to, inherit an ancestor's diary but it is in those diaries that we learn of former ways of life or receive confirmation of that which has not changed but perhaps altered through time. Rowena Scott, Edith Hold- en's great niece, was one of those lucky ones and she shared her inheritance with two British publishers who oversaw a publication of the naturalîst's diary for the year 1906. The journal-keeper, Edith Holden,' was born in 1871 in Worcester and attended art school subsequentiy working as an illustrator. She married a sculptor in 1911 after she had written and iilustrated her diary with paintings of the flora and fauna she encounter- ed on her daiiy waiks or bicycle rides. The book includes poems favored by the author and printed by hand aiong with her paintings. This facsimie re- production was prînted in Italy where ail such fine printing and binding is 50 expertly done. Even the time worn edges of the pages, are faithfully reproduced. The book is sewn rather than glued, for constant mean- derings. It is not a book to be rend at one sitting but for those moments of solitude when it will bring the feeling of cnlm desired and an apprecîntion of nature's ever- lasting beauty. A CHRISTMAS POSY by Celia Haddon, published in Great Britain nand distributed exclusively in Canada by Thomas Nelson and Sons, Don Milîs, 48 pages, hardcover, $4.95. This smaii, hardcovered book makes a weicome gift with its reproductions of Christmas cards from The Manseil Collection and the Mary Evans Picture Librnry (England) nlongside a select- ion of poems reiated to Christmas and the new year. Clement Clarke Moore's "A Visit from St. Nichoîns" is included, the popular poem- read at Christmasses since its composition by the poet for his ailîng dnughter. Robert Louis Stevenson's "Christmas at Sea" is the iongest of the poems compan- ioned by those of William Blake, William Shakespeare, John Milton and Alfred Tenny- son as well as anonymous poets of the l6th and l7th centuries. The book, resembling a l9th century work, is also sewn so the book won't be harmed by countless readings and hand- lîng after the initial sneak peaks between the gif t open- ing and feasting on Christmas Day. "Ring out old shapes of foui disease; Ring out the narrowing lust of gold; Ring out the thousand wars of old, Ring in the thousand years of peace." from "New Years Belîs" by Alfred Tennyson.
