1t is useless to tell the big boys to
remember their best girl, but while
you are doing this, dear boys, how
many will remember mother, who
will appreciate the thought, not the
money invested, and who spends ey-
cry moment Of her life, unselfishly,
for those about her. And lastly,
husbands remember your wives! The
same sentiment applies in this case,
and the consideration shown, whe-
ther In the shape Of a paper of pins,
or brass fire set, will not fail of
proper appreciation, and the invest
ment will prove a safe one. With
additional hearty good wishes to
every reader of this, with
"A merry Christmas to all,
And to all a good night"
