Write the letters of thanks before
1t gets too late.
The apology will be much more diff
ficult to pen than the thank you"
Anything that is nice enough to
accept is nice enough to be grateful
for.
How do you feel when somebody
fails to show appreciation at gift Of
your making?
1t is comfortable to at least know
that the present ;ou have given was
received.
Don't hurry the Christmas let

alone, and write letter that is
little more than line Of perfunctory
acceptance.
Get a little of yourself into the

for you enough to send the gift, she
will want to have little of you in
return.

CHOOSING BRIDES

With the Russian Christmas, which.
of course, is celebrated 13 days later
than the rest of Europe. Is connected
a curious custom, In which the young
men and maidens Of that country are
greatly interested. This is the choos-
ing of their brides by the young peas
ants of the land. The marriageable
girls of the district at the appointed
time gather in the house of the elder,
and, sitting in a row. have their heads
covered with wells or napkins When
all is ready the young men are ad-
mitted one by one to make their
choice of a wife.
While seemingly the young men
nick at random, yet really young
couples who are enamored of one an
other generally manage to become
mated, and thus prevent mistakes.
When she has been chosen the girl
uucoyers her head, and later on in
the evening conducts her lover to her
home, where her father puts the be-
ttothal ring upon her finger.
