The Art Of Giving Wisely.

The secret of success IN gift giving Is
not in the expending of large sums, out
in loving thought upon each gift proVi-
ded. Everything is usually successful IN
proportion to the amount of thought that
has been put into it, whether it be BAN
quet, a costume, book, or the making
of simple gift. If you are cramped for
money, do not think you need to spend
much for Christmas gifts. The thought
shown in a loving Christmas letter,
simple verse, or pen-and-ink SKETCH
may give as genuine pleasure as a pres
ent of pearls. Reflect we'll upon the Pc
