Tho American people are looking with
growing favor on the custom of giving
money for Christmas presents The for
eirners resident here have followed the
custom for years. They have, perhaps.
been accustomed to sending their savings

to send money to the old father or mother

of course. a new practice. but LIE rapidly
increasing extent to which in recent years
it has been employed by holiday gift
giyers is distinctly an innovation. Many
persons feel that, in the postal turmoil
at Christmas, it is we'll worth the cost
to make use of the special delivery
service to insure prompt delivery. and not
a few cautious folk not only send their
remembrances special delivery, but also
register them. Other postal patrons like
the special delivery plan. because Of the
individuality which it imparts to parcel
thus delivered. This is a view of the case
taken by many young men who send
flowers books or candy to the girls
back home" The delivery Of all Christmas
parcels bearing the special stamp is done
by boys on bicycles, and these youngsters
are among the hardest worked members
of the whole postal army at this joyous
season In addition to the long hours and
hard work there is the consideration that
ice-sheathed streets or snow and slush
make hard going for the mercuries on
wheels.
