Here's Wiping. Christmas polllty! New Tear frivol ity! ... . All of a frolicking, rollicking quality t Moping Is nothing but treason! I hope that you'll blissfully, mirth fully kissfully Enjoy the holiday season." Just reading that made me feel cheerful so I pass it on to you and wish that it may trully describe your holiday season. Furthermore,' I hope that you re ceived all the Christmas presents that you "wanted, xi& wanted all that you received. "I hope you weren't disappointed in anything and still more that you didn't show your disappointment if you "were. For while it is a compar atively small and easily healed hurt to be disappointed in a gift It is a very deep and slow-healing wound to see that someone is disappointed in a gift that you tried hard to make please. I hope you wern't so worn out with buying and making Christmas gifts that you couldn't give those about you the all-important gift of sweetness and good cheer on Christmas day. I hope that in addition to the mirth of the holiday season or if need be in place of it; you also had in your heart that serene undercurrent of happiness that comes from know ing you have already done honor to the Lord of Christmas tiy making Christmas happier for some one less fortunate than you. I hope that if by any chance that is not- true, you will go straight out and do something like that right now, even as you lay this" paper down. Re member, the eleventh hour was not considered too late. . And now a. word for the future. Last year ' I received a letter from one of my reader friends containing this paragraph: "I have sent out several gifts to friends whom I hold in high esteem and have received gifts from them and acknowledged them at once, but it is now about four weeks since mine were sent, and I . have not received a word yet. This I consider to be a great breach of courtesy. Last year it was the same thing with the same people., I think the matter ought to be called to the attention of anyone so negligent." - As this letter came to me rather too late to be timely for last year I put it aside for this year. . To some people the necessity for acknowledging. Christmas gifts Is a very bitter drop in the cup of Christ mas cheer. I wonder if this habit, of procrastinating the duty does not make it loom much larger and more difficult than it really is. I have one friend from whom I always receive an acknowledgement, o my gift the day after Christmas. The note Is brief bu tis very cordial, and I lodk forward to It as a bright spot in the The new store wishes to extend their thanks and appreciation to all for a most liberal patronage during the holiday shopping days. We invite you to call and see us again for good goods, modest .prices and courteous treatment. , . : - B. F. liM':;' . 10. N.

'V Don't . try to write a long or elab orate 1 letter," just make it a word of thanks..
