antecedent 20 this joyous day, which Is
only fully realized with the blessed
sense OF overness and peace, which
crowns the day when Il is done, aud
those lines in the famous ST. Nicholas
poem:
"'Twas the night before Christmas, and
all through the house
Nota creature was stirring, not even a
mouse,
draws a picture OF mocEing contrast to
the week before Christmas, when all
through the house there was howl OF
confusion worse cOnfOunded.
There is a popular fallacy to the eff
feet that Christmas rightfully belongs
10 the children. Well, II is a sad case

the grown folks. then, for even II this
most sacred season OF sentiment re-
solves itself into mundane philosophy
OF give and take, 10 creates many fair
exchange OF very delecta0le and charm
ing household, as well as personal eff
fects, which Is altogether outside OF the
child's pop-cracker and sugar-plum
Christmas.

cult matter to decide than what shall
be bought, for the shops show every
