at the present will soon by its own weight ex-
tinguish to some extent this pleasure. Ii all
would have the courage Of their convictions
on this subject and refuse to degenerate the
ancient custom, SO fraught with sacred
meaning, into one Of exchange and barter,
this danger would soon be overcome.
Even within the confines Of the family
circle the true significance Of the custom
is too often lost sight of, and the opportunity
the occasion offers is embraced to make some
necessary article Of clothing, furniture or the
like do duty for the Christmas gift. This is
a wrong Interpretation Of the festival. From
the head Of the family down to the tiny tod
der the Christmas gift should be some
thing, no matter how Insignificant in itself,
that can be treasured and preserved as a
memento Of the joyous occasion.
Make the season one of JOY supreme. Let
the Christmas spirit permeate everything,
from the vine-wreathed windows, the yule
log on the hearth, the tree laden with love
offerings, down to the specially prepared
dishes.

a BEAUTIFUL CUSTOM.
Christmas Giving It's True Significance
Often Lost Sight OF.

There is no more beautiful custom than
the time honored one Of Christmas giving,
when it is observed in the true spirit; that
is, when the gifts are those Of love, not Of
imagined obligation.
Present giving lat hristmas is Of heather
origin During the yuletide season onr
heather ancestors were wont to make concil
iatory offerings to their -deities, whose per-
sonal movements and direct interferences on
earth were supposed to be traceable at that
period. Later, when the church Christian
lied the custom, the giving Of reciprocal gifts

Christmas Advice for a Millionaire.

z Although handicapped by your circum-

tract some comfort from Christmas. One of
the best rules is not to allow yourself to
think about your condition. You would
gladly swap places and stomachs with some
poor devil who has to earn his own living,
but do not dwell upon this. Instead, ascer-
tain the address of some misguided philan-
thropist who is in the habit of giving a
Christmas dinner to lot of ragamufins.

THE FIRST CHRISTMAS.
The Town of Bethlehem Where the Wise Men

The Town of Bethlehem Where the Wise Men
p, Were Guided by Mysterious Star.
"The place is Bethlehem, but the Holy
Family are no longer at the inn, in which
there is no room for them" writes Rev.
Armory H. Bradford, D. D., in the Ladies'
Home Journal, of f'The First Christmas
Present" "They are now in house and
by themselves. The dwellings of the
poorer classes of that land and time were
of primitive simplicity The walls were of
stone, often without cement or plaster; the
roofs were of boughs or poles laid side by
side and covered with mud and straw; the
floors were of earth. They contained few
rooms, if, indeed, there were more than one,
and no windows such as are to be found
in modern houses. The best of these build
ings were hardly more sumptuous than the
dugouts of the American prairies or the
crofters' cottages of Scotland and Skye, but
because Of the dryness of the climate they
were not uncomfortable. Neither walls nor
floors were damp. Jesus and Mary were in
such a house, and were as we'll provided for
as most of the peasant people of their time
and their means. -:---
'The strangers who appeared in the
streets of that little town were wise men
from the east. They were guided by mys-
FERROUS star. They sought one who was
born king of the Jews When they found
Him, in true oriental fashion they first
bowed their heads to the ground in saluta-
ton and then presented to Him gold, frank
incense and myrrh. The phrase wise men,
or Magi, indicates that they came from
Persia or Arabia; that probably they were
followers of Zoroaster, and therefore that
they were fre-worshipers That is all that
the Gospels teach us, either directly or by in
ference, concerning them"
