Girls will know of some old uan or

Boys cannot knit such things, bu:
they can ask their father for basket
of those nice apples, to take, on
Christmas morning, to some poor peo'
pie who have no fruit. The value Of
the gift is of no Importance. 1t is to
make such people feel that they are
not forgotten. The day will not pass
