HARRODS FOR CHRISTMAS SHOPPING
A cheerful-looking booklet, with a red cover bearing a portrait of Santa Claus, is the profusely illustrated Christmas Gifts catalogue of Messrs. Harrods. We open it with high expectations and soon discover that it contains details of a huge number of attractive things. It begins with a few pages devoted to the jewellery department, giving a selection of brooches , pendants, pearls and the new colour aquamarines , many of the examples being of considerable novelty in design. Watches and clocks follow , and soon we are in the domain of the silver and cutlery department. Leather goods, stationery and toys are also well represented , and in connection with the latter it should be noted that Messrs. Harrods Toy Fair , a fairyland of delight for small people , is now in full swing, with a doll's house big enough to enter, among other novelties. Messrs. Harrods will be pleased to send a copy of their catalogue to any reader of Country Life who can make practical use of it.

Re: Harrods of London
The Fashion for Regimental Badge Brooches
It will probably, and frequently, happen also that the absent men will commission you to choose, on their behalf, the belated Christmas or New Year gift which war conditions make it impossible for them to select and present to you in person as usual.
In which case—or, indeed, in any case —nothing could well be a happier choice than one of the regimental badge brooches of which a most interesting display is being shown in the splendid jewellery department at Harrod’s in the Brompton Road, S.W. Every regiment is represented by these beautifully-made things, the colourings being introduced by enamel and the use of diamonds sometimes making the device even more decorative. So that they are one and all things of beauty, though quite apart from this, I should think that every woman who has the right to wear such a badge brooch would be glad and proud to do so, seeing that it proclaims to the world that her man is doing his duty to his King and his country.
Naturally, too, the soldiers who have the opportunity to make their own choice of a parting gift will be specially glad to be able to secure something which is of both personal and patriotic interest, so that—as usual—Harrod’s have done the right thing in bringing out these military brooches.
Failing a visit to the showrooms, however, to see them, the next best thing will be to make application for the special list which shows the brooches in their actual size and colouring, the illustrations here, though necessarily lacking this latter and realistic charm, being helpful to choice as showing the decorativeness of the designs.
The prices may well be noted, and their moderation appreciated, that first brooch —the Bays—with its wreath of green laurel leaves and the touch of scarlet flaming through the golden crown at the top, costing only £5, and then the 9th Lancers badge and brooch being £7 15s., and cheap at that inasmuch as the figure 9 is ablaze in diamonds, and the rest of the design a bravery of scarlet and white and gold.
Next in their due order you have the Prince of Wales’s feathers surmounted by the crown for £4, and the entwined letters of diamonds and crown of gold for £7 ; and the legend of the Life Guards blazoned in letters of gold on the brilliant blue enamel, and the crown in its scarlet and gold surmounted by a lion, for £3 10s. The badge brooch of the 13th Hussars entails an expenditure of 8 guineas, as being rather more elaborate and again introducing diamond- lettered figures, the 2nd Life Guards, on the other hand, only costs £2 12s. 6d., and the King’s Royal Rifle Corps., in which blue is the dominant colour — though white and a flash of scarlet and a glint of gold are all there too —£4 5s.
As to the links, they are priced respectively at £6 2s. 6d. and £5 5s., and you may like to know that scarf pins are also available, one very effective thing being dedicated to the 16th Lancers, the figures in closely-set diamonds and the crossed pennants being ablaze in scarlet and white and gold.
Now if you want any further reason to go to Harrods (though the average woman can always offer a hundred and one, all equally good!) you will surely find it in the fact that the great one-week sale starts there on Monday, January 11th, and ends on Saturday, the 16th. For while the days are thus limited, the bargains are absolutely unlimited and altogether wonderful; so much so, indeed, that these eagerly-awaited half-yearly functions are always attended by hundreds of women who make special journeys from all parts of the country in order to lay in stores of provisions as well as clothes while prices are all so greatly and advantageously reduced. It has paid them well to do so in the past, but this year it will be a more profitable proceeding than ever before, the stock being larger and the reductions much greater, an inevitable result of the effect of the war on the trade of the past few months.
So, of course, if the sale is sufficiently magnetic to draw women all the way from the provinces, it must surely attract every woman in London and the suburbs.
Indeed, it would be impossible to stay away when once you are aware of what awaits you in the way of bargains, and as the necessary knowledge is ready to be imparted by a sale catalogue which you can all have for the asking, no one an plead ignorance as an excuse for missing one of the greatest sales and opportunities of a lifetime.

Re: Harrods of London
Derry and Toms, the big Kensington High St. department store, was raided last week and a quantity of jewelry taken from department show cases. It is about a year ago that Harrods store in the same district was broken into, while more recently Pontings, another department store, was visited by thieves. A similar procedure to that enacted at Harrods was followed, sliding steel doors being propped open, and suit cases being taken in which to pack the stolen goods. The thief or thieves enjoyed a meal from the restaurant and had a wash and brush up in the toilet saloon. The cases in the jewelry department were carefully pried open, and pearl necklets, brooches, gold watches, gold cigarette cases, and similar articles, removed from their containers. The jewelry department is on the ground floor, and the watchman making his early morning rounds found it in a state of confusion. On the way out a bundle of furs was made up and taken, but evidently proved too heavy since they were abandoned on the roof. The value of the jewelry is around $2,500. The fact that more valuable articles were left behind is taken to mean that the thieves were disturbed. The necklets taken were worth from $100 to $200 each.
