Oh, it is passing easy to choose gift

token of remembrance to a man is the
bette noire of giving.
In the first place, mans Christmas
wishes are too few; silver trifes like
matchboxes, key rings, paper weights
and penholders are pretty, but nearly
every man has liberal supply of them.
And besides it is such deep-seatad
feminine conviction that men prefer
something made by feminine fingers
that they will beribbon and beaower a
piece of silk until the masculine recipi-
ent doesn't know whether to acknowl-
edge it as a glove-case or photograph
holder; which ever it may be, he is sure
not to like it, and will tuck it away in d
forgotten nook.
1t is much more sensible to bestow
something a man can comprehend in
one glance, and use because it is con-
venient.
