m HE CHRISTMAS PROBLEM th

months and who has been enter
tanned by so many OF the older resi-
cents is not by any means a small
enc. =s
II Is not considered good taste to
remember these ladies with gifts of
any kind and still the recipient of
favors cannot but wish to maxi her
many hostesses some sort of remem-
brance. -
A huge bouquet of roses is perhaps
appreciated more than anything else
and while they are not expensive they
express beautiful thoughts. A thr.j
tmas card can, however. be OF the
same import. for any slight expression
of gratitude Is appreciated by host
csc. There are any number Of little
cards with prettv sentiments embose-
ell upon them that are suitable Christ
mas remembrances.
When Z woman has been entertain
ed to any great extent by a hostess
who has little children another prob
should remember the children as well
as the mother. This need not be so
for almost anv mother would rather
fer children shoald be favored than
that she herself should be given pres
eflts.
Oftentimes a box OF candy Is just as
rccer'at'e as any other gift II is
foolish for one to try to remember all
OF the children in family separately.
A game in which thev can AL nartici-
rate H. far more sensible and the chill
dren themselves will as rule be more
pleased
Women are troubled hy these social
obIigationF. but most men who have
been guests at dinner seem To feel
that they are SO. greatly indebted to
hostess that they mist make her
come sort Of an expensive present
The majority of women feel that thew
cannot aceeptf nretentions gifts and
wcnid rather that q simple box OF
candy or A bunch of flowers had been
ser' IN their place.
Candy can be packed in all sorts Of
pretty baskets aud boxes that may be
kept as remembrance. and one can
easily saw that any woman would far
rather be the recipient OF simple
remembrance than an expensive pres
ent.
Presents that are usually left till
the last moment are those which a
young man Is to give the girl-or girls
to whom he has been attentive dur
ing the wear.
II Is. is as usually well known. Door
taste for eiri to accept iewelry from.
a man to whom she Is not ENGAGED. or
one who Is not relative. Still wear
after wear man will give jeweiry TO
girl and she as rule accepts the
Gift without q murmur
A good hook Is Sin far better iudg-
ment. or he may send her a box Of
writing paper or a box OF flowers.
When II Is time for a girl to select
a gift for the man. she is often at a
loss. The best way to solve this prob
lem is to send him Christmas card
She sends cards to her girl friends
and she should do no more for any
man -

Selecting Christmas Cards.
The time has come for the selection
of the Christmas cards. 1t, has been
the idea with great many people to
send these the smallest expression of
Christmas thoughts to their friends
alone. Then others take the opposite
standpoint and send cards to those
who, in their minds, will not have a
large Christmas or to people away
fIom home.
