VVYE lash our brains to chase up

like manner they lash their
brains to think of something to give
US. We say to ourselves, "Rich old
Aunt Rachel ought to put up some
thing handsome this year, the old cur
mudgeon" Rich old Aunt Rachel in
her turn says Of us: 81 suppose those
beggarly nieces Of mine will send me
some fool trash they themselves can
make and expect me to give them gifts
worth forty times as much. They're
nuisance. Every way l turn there's
somebody expecting me to put up
Christmas present. wish these hungry
hangers on were at the north pole."
The whole scheme of Christmas CIV
ing has been perverted till it now
means only one of three things-either
barter, unwilling almsgiving or tip
ping. Servants, deserving or other
wise; poor relatives, charity societies,
people too lazy and shiftless to earn
comfort for themselves, all expect"
something. The effort to fill these ex-
pectations causes a drain that makes

KSABEL was having it out with her
. s~rSK., ther-. IT was only a few days
before Christmas. and she should
have been at peace with herself
and all mankind in general, but she
wasn't. She had been telling herself
all this particular day that as soon as
her father came home she would put
her case before him in light so con-
vincing that he would be brought to
admit that he bad been little too ar
bitrary. Her scheme had not worked.
She was beginning to realize painfully
that her effort to gain her point had
resulted in confirming her father in his
opinion that it was a mans privilege
to rule in his own house. especially
when the woman of it was bis only
daughter, girl Of twenty, who could
not be expected to know her own mind.
"You know perfectly WELL" said Isa-
bel. with final heroic attempt to
snatch victory from the jaws Of de-
feat, ''that Jack and l have been

ken about ito you-is because he has
been waiting until he was in more Of
