CHRISTMAS PRESENTS.
They Should Go Only Where Our Hearts
Prompt the Sending.

In the Ladies' Home journal Edward
Box writes in vigorous depreciation of the
complicating of Christmas. Much as we
need simplicity in all the phases of our liv-
ing" he contends, "its greatest need is
sometimes felt at Christmas. And it seems
a pity that we cannot make a beginning
there. We could if we would simplify this
question of presents; if we would cave out
of our consideration all but the natural
promptings of our hearts. If ever material
considerations should be dismissed from our
minds and lives it should be in connection
with Christmas. If ever our friends should
see our hearts-our real inner selves-it
should be on Christmas day. Not that we
should be other than our real selves on other
days. But as it is, we are not our actual
selves on the day of all days when we should
be. See how we strive that our present of
this year shall surpass the one We gave last
year! See how instinctively we think of the
material value of what we give, and actually
of what we receive! See how we wrong our
selves by leaving needful things undone and
inviting illness because we feel we must give
something of our own making to a friend,
when really a sigh goes into each stitch,
instead of being frank with ourselves, and
pleasing our friends infinitely more by being
frank with them, and purchasing something
at far less cost to our health. Every woman
knows what | mean by this; the great evil
of making things for Christmas presents
when really neither the time nor the
strength can be spared. In much the same
way we complicate Christmas at the table"

PAUL'S NEW YEARS GIFT
HE FOUND THE BABY YEAR IN THE
LIBRARY.

PauPs little visit at grandpa's was at an
end, and he had to come home. The butler
oepned the door quietly, and looked down
at him with a twinkling eye, writes Marion
Dickinson, in Youths Companion.
Happy New Year, Jenkins!" and the
small man skipped into the hall.
Happy New Year, sir!" answered the
big man.
Paul tugged away at his rubber boots,
but was glad of Jenkins help. See the
skates grandpa gave mel" he said, proudly
displaying the shining treasure. Where's
mamma? l want to show 'em to her right
away"
Your mother says you're to go into the
library and wait until nurse comes; then
you can go up to see her"
But | van to go now!" Paul objected.
Nevertheless, he went o~bediently into the
library.
Backing up to his fathers easy chair, he
was just about to make himself comfortable,
when there came a small shrek from the
hall and the rustic of garments, and some
body seized him by the coat collar.
Gracious goodness" nurse painted. "In
another second you would have sat down!
You gave me a turn, Master Paul"
whats the natter" asked Paul, rather
indignant at this unceremonious treatment
of a boy who was old enough to own skates.
Nurse laughed softly. Turn around and
look at the chair" she said. Its another
present"
A large pillow filled the seat of the great
chair, and on it lay a soft roll of flannel,
Paul backed away 'What is it," he asked,
sturdily.
Nurse carefully drew down a fold of the
flannel, and there was a tiny pink face, with
blinking blue eyes, a mouth like a round o,
and no hair to speak of.
For an instant Paul stared with wide
open eyes; then, with a whoop of delight,
he dashed into the hall and up the stairs.
Mamma, mamma" he shouted, come
down quick! The little New Years in the
library"

AN AMATEUR SANTA CLAUS
HIS LOT WAS NOT AN ENVIABLH ONE
BY ANY MEANS.

The man who had been selected to be the
Santa Claus sat out on the top of the roof
in the cold, cold night and looked ND at
the t~winkling stars.
I've got a nice job, l don't think"
growled Santa Claus. 81 think when it
comes to being a nice, obliging young man
l am certainly the easiest ever. The next
time | go to a Christmas house party, why,
l won't. o, yes. We just have to have
a Santa Claus, Mr.. Everts, to slide down
the great, wide chimney in the back hall.
There is a ladder fixed there, and you can
come down easy. The other men Just won't
do it, and l hate to ask you, but you are so
obliging.'
%, Pm obliging all right. I'm a real
sweet thing, and I'm just tickled to death
to sit up here like a north pole explorer on
the warm side of an iceberg. All nice and
warm downstairs and that idiot Fleming
is dancing all over the shop with Miss Rob-
erts. The other fellows are sitting on dark
stairs and making goo-goo eyes, and Pm on
top of the house playing Santa Claus.
80, this is just too lovely for any use. l
just dote on this game. But if anybody
ever comes up sudden like in the night
and asks me if it's nice to be a Santa Claus,
I'll tell them that when it comes to good
things being Santa Claus is certainly the
butt end.
81 wonder how many years l have to roost
up here on this perch anyhow. l was to sit
near the chimney so that l could near that
gang of trundle-bed trash low that song
about Welcome, welcome, dear old Santa
Claus Well, not a sound do / hear.
81 believe this is one of those snipe hunt
ing propositions. They get me up here and
then skip. Wonder they don't set fire to
the house to make it more pleasant for your
nice old uncle Santa. Wish they would.
It'd be warmer"
A voice from the trap door in the roof:
Mr.. Everts, Mr.. Everts, we've been wait
ing a half hour and the children have sung
until they're hoarse. Why, Mr.. Everts,
you're at the wrong chimney Chicago

A PLACE FOR SANTA CLAUS.
The Story of the Old Saint should Be
Told In Merry Mood.

With the approach of Christmas arises
the problem discussed by modern mothers
and child-students in regard to the fiction
of Santa Claus. Is it wrong to deceive a
child, and will he not lose faith in the par
ent when he finds out that Santa Claus
does not exist? The best advice we have
ever seen on the subject was an editorial
printed in that excellent magazine for moth
ers as well as teachers, the kindergarten
Review. The editor defends Santa Claus.
The trouble, where there is my, arises, she
says, from efforts to give the old story a
realistic setting and to reply to questions
with too ingenious fbs. eve put too little
fun and fantasy into our telling of the
Christmas tale" she writes; and again:
Told as such tales ought to be told-in a
merry mood, with laughing mien and won
der tone, with funny winks and shrugs as
p~arryings of difficult questions-the tale is
harmless enough" When the child dis
covers that Santa Claus is not real, he need
not feel a shock any more than when he
suspects that there are no fairies or COLLINS.
But the parents who raise this difficulty are
usually those who disapprove of fairy sto-
ries. We are glad that we have such au-
thority for retaining the Santa Claus
myth" for old and young enjoy the merry
'm~ake-believe." And when the child out
grows it we can afford to let it go. One
Christmas story more wonderful and super
natural he can never outgrow-that of the
Babe and the Star and the Angels.-Con-
gregationalist.

A Month of Celebration.

Perhaps no nation or religion enjoys New
Years day more than the Chinese. They
celebrate their feast in the early part of
February, and the festivities last a month.
in this day, when the people visit their
joss houses, worship their gods, and with
oriental ceremony shake hands with "a
Happy New Year" In preparation for this
event a Chinaman tries to square his ac-
counts with all the world, and a Chinaman
who owes debts at the beginning of the
New Year %forfeits his right to be called a
gentleman.

A Good New Years Resolution.

| have never been much of a hand at
making resolutions; still less at keeping
them; but if L were to throw some of my
ideals into that form for a New Years
something like this: Resolved, To live in
the active voice, intent on. what / can do,
rather than what happens to me in conse-
quence; in the indicative mood, concerned
with what is, rather than what might be
more to my liking; in the present tense,
with concentration ON immediate duty.
rather than regret for the past or anxiety
for the future; in the first person., criti-
cising myself, rather than condemning
others; in the singular number, obeying
my own conscience, rather than the de-
mands of the many.-William De Witt
Hyde, in Boston Congregationalist.
