PRESENTS FOR oLo PEOPLE.
What to Give Grandma and Grandpa 70,
Christmas.

Chr18tm8S.
1t is hard to select presents for those
who have passed the sunny side of life
and who no longer take an active inter-
est in its frivolities, its fads and its
changes of fashion. Grandma and
grandpa are dear old people, with
hearts as young as the youngest, and
minds capable of enjoying everything.
But one can scarcely expect grandpa to
in a new way, nor will grandma want
. set of the new-fangled hairpins.
SSuch things are pretty on young peo-
pie, (" says grandma and grandpa, with
9 smile and sigh. "But-the old way
is the best for us after ALL" What,
then, can one select for the occupants
of the armchair? What can one give
them which will be just the thing
needed for comfort and luxury?
Grandpa does not care for many orna.
ments, but he is fond of nice necktie.
Get him one or two, just like those he
usually wears, and give them to him
with gold-letter pin standing for his
last name, which can be used for q
scarf-pin if he fancies it. He probably
has cane. But has he nice black
silk umbrella? Has he q storm-coat?
Does he own pair of the new kind Of
high cloth overshoes? Has he pair
of lined gloves for cold weather? Has
he a cap which sits snugly on his head
when the wind blows? Notice the
styles in these things, gently sound his
tastes and buy accordingly. II he likes
to smoke notice the style of his favor.
ite pipe and get another just like it.
Get him pound of his favOrite tobacco
and put it in a fine tobacco jug. So
much for grandpa!
Grandma likes neck trimmings, il
they be after her style. Observe and
select the right things. If she has no
chair of her own in the dining-room,
give her one which shall be more COM
Portable, perhaps, than the dining
chair. Give her an individual set Of
pretty plates, cup and saucer and but
ter dish for her own use. Notice If she
has plenty Of cushions and footstools in
her room. There are little creature
comforts, too, of which grandma is very
fond. She could make use of tiny gas
stove for warming teas and broths.
And broth-cup, with saucer which
fits on top, is sure to be treasured.
Warm, soft slippers, gay to behold;
lambs wool petticoats, snug wooden
jackets and great downy robes for the
bath are deemed very delightful for
grandma, who should have every sim
pie luxury. Both grandma and grand
pa have foibles. You probably know
what they are. Watch for them and
then it will be easy to select your gift.

Christmas eve or Christmas day would
only take away that horrible dream it

Merrily pealed the new church bell
by the grove in which the prairie voy-
ayers had halted for the night. Every
window and the open doors sending
rays Of cheerful light into the sur
rounding gloom serves to guide fast
gathering throng Of young and old to
Sunday-school celebration of Christ
mas eve. Watching with longing eyes
this unwonted spectacle, two children
crept hand in hand toward the church,
and as the music Of q sweet Christmas
anthem floated out into the night It
drew them irresistibly to see for them
selves the wonders that were within.
Two wistful, childish faces, peering
with wide-eyed establishment at the
wonderfully lighted tree, bearing such
strange variety Of fruit, caught the At
tention Of kind-hearted observers. A
story soon went around: Camping
children-parents lost most everything
in the great Ford County prairie fire.

Christmas for them-Santa Claus only
went to houses that had chimneys TO

A sudden wave Of sympathy swept
over the room. Here were unexpeot-
cd visitors from the great expause, 1t
tie ones who expected no Santa C1aus,
whose parents could give them 10

send them on their way rejoicing.
Hurried consultations wore held. A
young voice said: "Give Them my pres
ent. "Give them mine, And NINE"
followed, until 1t seemed that giving
was indeed more blessed than receiv-
ing. Presents showered from the
wonderful tree. The choir broke out
in another anthem of praise, and the
parents, beginning to feel alarmed at
the unexpected length of absence, met
their children coming from the church
with a boy Juggling a basket of gifts
for them and bringing the message
direct from Santa Claus himself, whom
the children had seen in white fur and
a long white beard, Merry Christmas
to the family in the prairie schooner!"
Christmas Dav! The interminable
stretch of earth and sky, of half-white;
heritage, of road without beginning or
ending, of the tireless wind, of distance
everywhere. On the Western horizon
the faded housetops of receding town.
Again the canvas-covered craft creep
zon. Behind the seat the happy chat
ter of childish voices over undreamed-
of treasures. In front, snuggled to-
gether like pair of lovers beginning
their first journey, the husband and
wife smiled encouragement at each
other and the passing wind caught the
sweet-voiced words:
Robert, missed my dream last
night. The good Santa Claus who sent
the children back with SO many beauti-
full presents took away the horror of
the prairie fire SO that feel its spell is

The fond parent who objects to his boys
becoming acquainted with the water is dis
appearing, At least we do not hear about
him AZ often as we used to, and we hear a
good deal OF the boy who goes sailing on
the river or pond in a catboat. 1t may be
an attribute OF age not to hear Of mothers
who spend anxious hours while they are in
the country. where they should be enjoying
themselves, lrst their offspring should be
guilty Of the urpitude OF natation. AT amy
rate, that brief chronicler OF the times, the
funny paragrapher, is testing less and less
year by year about the mother who detects
her Maynard child by his wet hair and
subsequently, tries to teach him that the
water Is bad 'or growing youth.
Time was in this old town when the av-
erage boy wore tassels on his cap and walk
ed abroad holding the hand of an overcare-
iul parent. Then cigarette smoking was
looked upon as sure precursor OF intern.
perance, and the boy was taught TO regard
his vices rs manly because their practice
was rebellion. Fathers and mothers arc
more sensible than they were, much to the
advantage OF the youngsters, -Harper's
