right my dear; you ought to have seen the
way Tom was acting with Ethel Collins at
the Meekman's dinner. They must be en-

picture of your mother. Molle." I met
Tom the day after that ana asked him
right out il he was engaged. He looked
very mysterious and wouldn't say any
thing, OF course, no one noticed It; but 1
lost five pounds during the next three days,
Then he wrote me this note:
Dear Mollie-I have an announcement TO
make to you, which, while II need not pre-
vent hope a continuance OF our friend

with my frequent Gala upon you. I don't

Il see the papers have commended to

Christmas shopping early" begins Bright
side Sc wise Willie canters in for the
getaway In the daily verbal handicap,
"I'll bet the guys that hand out that
cOme-early and avoid the-rush dope can't
get their long green together any sooner
than, the rest OF US" announces Son, with
considerable show OF irritation at the edi-
torial suggestion.
That appeals to me as being an ex-
cellent idea for the women folks" is
Fathers belief
Don't worry that the skirts won't get
an early start on the Christmas game"
admonishes Son. They begin to lay
their pipes for merry merry Xmas right
after the Fourth Of July. The first Thing
they make out is list OF those they are
sure will give them presents. Then they
figure out scheme to send each OF 'em

profit Of fifty per cent on the trade"
Il don't approve OF the system Of giving
where something is expected in return"
protests Father.
That's what they all say" reminds Son.

careful methods every year to pick out

Every married skirt has a string Of
relatives who seem to have more children
at Christmas than any other time" says
| Son, and all Of them have to be 'remem-
bered or there's trouble in the dear old
home"
This wholesale giving OF presents
doesn't seem necessary" continues Father
Nine out OF ten married men will tell
you it's case of give up the simoleons
for the Joyous Yletide or else fight It

and dreary with an argument when a few
bucks for foolish toys will make wife leap
