Edward Box writes. in the December
Ladies Home Journal tina there
must be some radical and growing de-
parture from the right and best way Of
celebrating Christmas when each reeur~
ring year we hear a larger number of
men saying, Well. I'll be truly thankful
when this Christmas business is over
And they are led to this remark gem
orally by seeing their wives, mothers,
sisters or daughters reach Christmas Day
utterly tired out, with the prospect of a
siege Of illness as soon as Christmas is
over. And it m u be confessed that this
state Of affairs exists in thousands Of
homes. Women themselves frequently ac-
knowledge their satisfaction when the day
is over. Now, there is always something

pleasures. And II one OF our sources
of pleasure in the calendars greatest gala
day is derived from a feeling of thank
fulness that it is over, there is some
thing askew either in the way we pre-
pare for, or spend, the day
