in mourning are now permitted to re-
ceive all sorts of presents from men,
the idea being that their sorrow pre-
cludes all thoughts of a sentimental
character in connection with the gift.
The innovation is due to the duchess

They are, in many cases, superb OBJ
jects. jeweled and golden, sharp and
deadly. They are allowed to repose
upon the boudoir table. The fad
started in France and was at first OBJ
jected to. as leading to indulgence of
the suicidal mania among over-sensi-
tive maidens. Thereupon statistics
were consulted and it transpirea that

of poison. So the stiletto as present

grown in favor.

chased, might figure as exhibits in evil

Hence the three grand divisions Of
Christmas presents into first, those
which are useful without being appro-
pirate; secondly, those which are ap-
propriate without being useful, and
thirdly, those which are neither use
full nor appropriate. A theory has been
advanced in recent years having a
combination of utility with appropri-
ateLess in Christmas presents for its
foundation. The opponents of this
theory, however, are deemed super
fetal thinkers by the influential ma
jority of the gift-giving classes, as the
paucity of their adherents shows.
For, beginning with the presents
most numerously bestowed at Christ
