“I’ve always wondered why v;cmen
;itteiii)'t so niuch.”
‘•l);'r;L!:s<‘ everybody does. And if
• ru; poor, lone, st'usible woman sits
and liaily refu.ses to kiil iier'^elf
■wurkii'.u for Christmas, her family and
rit'mis will think she is a quitter—a
social slacker.”
‘ WVll,” susisested her husband, “why
liot let t!u' rich people have all the
lass and fiatliers, and let those in
medium circumstances realize they
can’t keep np that pace?”
“You don’t understand," said the
woman with the brown eyes; “as long
as rich folks do it, those less able will
.'train to do likewise. That’s why the
'ivealthy people will have to sec the
trend and institute a change.
“In place of so many mere ‘presents’
we must give such things as love, cour-
lige, kindness and generous impulses—
things which our present physical and
iuental strain forbids. Throughout the
rest of the year, if any one felt in-
ilined to send a regular gift to a
^■riend or rclr.tive, that could be Oone
very easily and the ncipieni «ould
icnow it was a voluntary, not a com
pulsory, remembrance.”
“It’s a gr’at idea,” said the brcwn-
«yed woman s husband, cheerfully. “A
bit of real ;!.i.'ection in place of some
of the monstrosities now exchanged
Vr’onld be a great improvement.”
“You can m:ike fun if you want to,"
che replied, “but when the world
wakes up to the real meaning of Christ
mas—and the war I believe has helped
to wake it up—you’ll see the effec-t
^spread over the entire year. Then
the first of January won’t be asso
ciated with bills and pills, but with j
'the genuine eagerness to live the next
.12 months better than those preced*
:ing.” I
“In the meantime,’* sighed her hns* ^
(tMnd dramatically, hope you havm't
ci your affair vntil tomoitow
ir 3hristmc.3 morn! 'Tis Christmas morn!
How swift the hours fly!
And winged'fleet on magic feel
They vanish like a sigh;
Now dreamy'dim o'er Orient rim
The gold'fringed eyes of morn
Shed loving light on drowsy night
Ere yet the day is born.
Now gleams the star whose beams afar
Weave Heavens silver hem.
How dove'demure, how seraph-pure,
Briglit Star of Bethlehem!
HEN let us be peaceful and joyous anc! gay.
And welcome the Princc with a sweet virelay;
V>/e'!i garner the holly and ever be jolly.
For blessed is He Who is coming today.
The bells we'll ring to prayer we'll cli.ng.
Our incense bring to praise the King,
For blessed is He Who is coming today;
Soulfuliy sing Him a sweet roundelay.
Merrily, merrily, merrily!

Verses,to Send With
Christmas Presents
With Embroidery or Any Needlework.
May all your years be glad and bright,
Deep flUed with pleasant days.

Of love that lives and stays!
With some such wishes, true and kind.
Each Cliristmas should begin.
Wiiile some of these must surely bind
Because they've been sewed in!
With a Gift to a Smoker.
When clouds of smoke around you float
Think sometimes of this loving (friend
ly) (cordial) note.
When pictures in the smoke you see
Waft now and then a thought to me.
But though you newer joys evoke.
Don’t let our triendship “end in smoke.”
' With a Box of Candy.
"Sweets to the sweet,” the wise old saw.
' I quote because ’tis fitting.
And tribute pay unto the law
With gladness unremitting,
“Uke unto like” is also true.
Therefore these candies haste to you.
With Music or Musical Instrument.
Because the very thought of you.
Makes music in my mind.
Pray let me share the music true.

To a Lady, With Slippers.
O pretty slippers, small and sligiit.
Be sure to lead her steps aright;
And when her dainty feet you hold.
Guard them alike from hurt and cold.
With Shaving Materials.
Should you cut yourself in shaving.
Don’t—blame—me!
Small effect has bitter raving
When the wound one may not see.
But should your razor smoothly glide.
Include me in your smile so wide.
With Picture of Some Rural Scene.
If your thoughts of town are weary.
Rest your eyes and dream,
Oazing on this picture cheery
Of woodland (rural) (springtime) (vei^
nal) vale and stream;
Remember that had I 'my way.
Such joys would greet you every day. '
With AAy Christmas Gift.
Here’s a thought of joyous cheer
For Christmas and for all the year!
The value of a gift is in its life and usefulness an
to the bestowed.
