fairness in the settlement of my
claim, and recommend them to the
public. A. A. HANLY.

What will make an appropriate
Christmas present." is an inquiry
frequently made. A satisfactory
answer should determine with equal
definiteness as respects the worthy
citizen of three-score and ten, as
well as the vivacious damsel of
"sweet sixteen" Neither age nor
beauty is barrier to a correct
solution. The appropriateness of a
present does not in any way con-
sist in the costly value of it. And
if this plain truth were only accept
ed as it deserves to be, how much
greater the appreciation of many
presents would bel The idea that
u present is of no worth unless it
involves extravaganza or exorbitant
cost, is not only erroneous, but
breach of good judgment; yet how
many are guided by such a notion
in the selection of what they hope
to prove acceptable and appropriate
presents. The great important OBJ
ject to be considered is the adapta-
bility of the gift to its intended
recipient. Hero you can exercise
your better judgment, and modify
your means accordingly.
