THE CHRISTMAS WORKERS.

There are two sides to the Christ
mas season. The side ordinarily
presented to the public view is that
OF JOY and happiness the giving and
receiving of presents. the feasting and
Qualification, the unalloyed pleasure of
the children and the consequent sat-
isfaction of their elders. 1t is we'll
that this side is so widely portrayed.
The Christmas spirit is good one to
/ foster and the world would be a
pleasanter place to live in if that
spirit were extended in its operation
to other months in the year. But for
thousands of men, women and children
the Christmas season means something
far different from period of pleasure
To them it means weeks of hard labor,
long hours. little rest and sleep, ir-
regular meals or mere makeshifts for
meals. The great army of employees
who attend to the Christmas shoppers
and handle and deliver the presents
the sales clerks, change makers,
bundle wrappers, packers. drivers,
and delivery boys, find the holiday
season one OF bitter hardship. Many
of these employees become i'll rs a
result of irregular meals and over
work.
Here, then, is an opportunity for
every Christmas shopper co use the
Christmas spirit to good advantage.
A little thought by each shopper, a
little care tor the feelings of the clerk
little consideration for the bundle
boy, would mean great Tightening
of the burdens of those overworked
individuals. It is fact recognized
in all stores that large part of the
work, worry, and annoyance to the
clerks and other employees is caused
by small proportion OF the custom
ers. Some people find it necessary to
examine large quantity of the stock
in trade of several stores before max
ing a purchase, then they want it de-
livered at one place and after the
bundle is made up want it sent to
different one, and in every way pos
sible make trouble for ghose whose
duty it is to wait on them. Just re-
member that clerks and others are
human when making your purchases
for Christmas and make their labors
for you as light as possible.
