generally employ e0 aid money appears
&c be fairly abundant. This is q bright
feature Of the present Christmas, much
more promising than oN last Christ
mas, and this money Will be spent
freely in making gifts. This practice
Of gift making Is q good one and will
never wear out. A gift not only makes
the recipient OF it feel good, but the
siver also. All who can possibly give
gifts should do so. 1t does not req ulre
costly gift to make a person happy,
but one with a heart In it-one that is
glittering all over with love and friend
ship. There may be as much real heart
in toy wagon as there Is in snit OF
furniture or gold watch. The giver
and the receiver are the true sources
from which real happiness and pleasure
spring and not from the gift. Where q
family OF seven or eight persons all
make gifts TO each other lively, cheer.
mi Christmas is the consequence A
