Blame Laid to Santa Claus.
"Of course, this practice may be under

gree to the crowding of the columns of the
newspapers with the announcements of

mas to the exclusion of so prosaic a sub
ject as real estate. Then again the dull

fact that pater familias has laid in his

not desire to have the same rehauled.
OF course. this consideration would not
eliminate the many happy pairs, -

likely to occur during the holiday season
