Mr.. Wesche. living at the corner Of
Carson and North Pine streets. has
three fine pear trees, all loaded with
ripe fruit. The pears are so heavy

As the Christmas season begins to be
sonnet hing more than a DIM possibility Of
ttr future. the question OF present-giving
demands our attention. The peace and good
will Of the holy season are perhaps respon-
sible Tor the very general desire to give
scne Christmas tokens of our frien dship 60
those around us. Let us hope that de-
sire to receive gifts In return does not
,.ctaate us as well, for that would re the
worst of taste, and let us be caref ul to
give the tokens ia sucn tactful manner
that they may not be causes OF offense.
Present giving is at all times crucial
test of tact, for nothing Injuries tfe delicate
bloom Of friendship sooner than a brYsquely

in the right spirit is a great achievement.

No man, save a near relation, must offer
a woman expensive jewelry, or expensive
