parties, but of course the women have
/ a good deal to say about the invita-

In a Topeka family a Christmas pact
has been entered into which, If strictly
kept, will result in a really Happy New
Year The members of the family are
all sufferers from the financial panic
not the one the newspapers announce,
daily, is over-but the same old panic
that bothers Poor Folks all the time
and they have agreed not to give Christ
mas presents to one another or outside.
Christmas will be celebrated at their
house by modest decorations, a good
but not elaborate dinner, and the bliss
full feeling that they can think of the
first of the month without chill. d.
In another family everybody has decid-
ed to buy for him or herself the thing
he most wants, of price approximating
what he would ordinarily spend on
Christmas presents for the others, and
to call it a Merry Christmas from the
whole family.
