For the Pleasure Of Others,

It is the desire and effort to con-
tribute to the happiness OF others that
makes Christmas the most delightful of
all our holidays. Children at first, per-
haps, think most OF the gifts that they
may receive, but every wise parent
teaches; the child to be giver as we'll
as receiver, and to find the deeper joy
OF the Christmas time, In doing some
thing for the pleasure for some one
else The maxim: TT is more blessed
to give than to receive" is one of those
beautiful statements that it is easy to
approve, but one never knows how true.
It is until he finds ii verified. In expert
ence.- Then a. new fountain of ioy
opens In the heart and new way e.
life is disclosed We often make tho
mistake OF thinking that q giving COL
sIstS IN the best0waI of some material
thing. But it really consists In devo-
ton to another OF what we have=; IL
may be money OF time or skill or
thonghtfuluess or patience. There Is
NO one SO poor that he cannot give
something That is the real Joy OF
Christmas time H we carried the
Christmas spirit into all the daysof the
year we should make life infinitely
ssveefer and happier-Rostsn Watch

TIE LITTLE ONES PRESENTS.
Santa Claus Furnishes the Trees,
But Fathers and Mothers Gifts
Should Be Plainly Marked

Ella Morris kretschmar writes enter
tainingiy Of The Christmas Tree in
the Woman's Home Companion, and IL
the course OF her article says:
do not make the mistake OF hanging
gifts on the tree. The tree is from
santa Claus, thergiffrs from family and
friends-a distinction which should be
made clear to each little mind. And
label each gift before placing it Under
the uee-the proper place for all Christ
mas gifts. Santa Claus is sure to be
given credit for anything anonymous
The writer once received d shock not
easily forgotten After much shopping.

uful tree, with numerous gifts ben=alh,
giaddened the eyes and heart Of her
one and only on Christmas morning.
Everything was duly enjoyed through
out the day. but in the twilight TWO lit
tie arms we're slipped about mothers
neck and a soft voice asked: Mother,
why is it that everybody gives me pref
t. things on Christmas but you and
father - Aunt Mary, Uncle Edwin,
Eloise, Mamie, all the rest OF the lam
lE, and even my friends-all but just
you? I would rather have something
from you than from anyone, even Santa
Claus.
Think Of it. After SO much effort,
and no explanations possible. Santa
Claus still gets credit for the tree, but
mothers and fathers gifts are plainly
marked
There are some parents whose con-
sciences are so painfully constructed
that to them the Santa Claus tcIion
seems a wicked faisehood not to be en-
couraged- We pity them and lament
their honesty Il consistent they must
frowu upon all that man Imagination
has done to adorn Life, to enbeilish the
world. As for Santa Claus. may he not
be regarded by the Christian as typical
CT the giver OF good gifts? And to the
honest nneeteenrh-centuryp pagan does
his coming not commemorate the birth
iof the acknowledged highest type of
earthly man? Santa Claus needs no
apologist He has made lives better
and brighter since his first coming.
do not regard the Christmas tree a
bother even If fatigue and sacrifice
are IT'S price Remember how rich yuu
are in having some one in your heart
and home who expecting Santa Claus.
And remember the splendid privilege ct
comforting So much happiness"
