more girl friends. And she perfectly
adores Christmas.
"She saves a dollar a week all the
year as her Christmas present fund.
She Keeps a memorandum OF tastes

mother says she var a new salad

dearest friend. Then, at Christmas
she has the delight of giving to those
whom she loves best the things they
really want. Sometimes she has to
deny herself a bit to do 1t, but I

ship. And she liked the gay shops
