How inadequate is the last-moment
present bought under such conditions
the usual conditions in cities--to
express the rightful Christmas senti-
ment. Instead of telling of Christmas
joy If it could but speak the gift
would say:
Il bring you a friends irritabilities,
and a sales-woman's white cheeks,
and little cash girls sobs, and wish
you miserable Christmas" In short,
this belated purchase, obtained with
such effort to all concerned, carries
with 1t the unheard tears and sighs
OF the Yuletide angels, those shining
spirits of gladness we turn from our
doors. There is way to escape this
very great annoyance to ourselves and
injustice to others. The shops are
never crowded in the early morning,
SO do the shopping then with the very
first hour Or If you are business
person and cannot spare the time,
write the friend whom you recall at
this late hour nice little note full
of Christmas feeling or else run
around the corner and buy her a
bunch of bright berries from any OF
the temporary stands, which if not
patronized would mean ruin to their
owners. At any rate. however, you
solve the problem, keep one thought
In your heart:
Peace on earth and good will tow
ard all the poor souls hired to sell
Christmas presents.
The next sinners against the Yule-
tide angels are the family ogres who
deny the home children their rightful
share Of Christmas joy. who fret
about having the little Christmas tree
with its trifiing gifts, who shatter In
fantile idols by revealing the sacred
mystery Of Santa Claus, and so and
so on. All. me, ah. me. could I not
tell weeping stories myself Of the
hardness OF grown-up hearts at this
time -stories of the dark and. dread
ful day when silly aunt OF seven
teen Knocked me for my belief in good
Kfiss Kringle and when, q little later.
the edict went forth that was too
old to sthink much of Christmas" any
more. Is anybody ever too old" to
think Of Christmas? Is the heart ever
too hardened not to suffer when the
dearest Of its saints IL ruthlessly tar
ken awayf
AS to this rubbishy talk Of the Christ
mas tree being too much trouble, Or
too much expense, It only means
that the grown-ups are thinking en-
tirely Of themselves. There are Christ
mas trees and Christmas trees, and
the cheapest and littIest may bring
Just Is much Joy to small hearts as

The Pleasantville press., 1912-12-25

have seen little Christmas trees bur
dened with tiny gifts, and gay with
candles, that cost no more than a
couple of dollars. They were set up
with love, and trimmed with love, and
revealed with love; and the children
and the grown-ups were all as happy
as happy could be because they had
invited every one of the Yuletide an
gels to the fun.
So don't rob the children OF their
good Christmas saint, Santa Claus,
but leave them to find out the facts
Of Christmas giving themselves. And.
be your home ever SO poor. save some
thing from the housekeeping money
to give the children their rightful
Christmas Joy in another way when
the tree cannot be managed. An
orange, big, rosy apple, and a walk
ing stick Of striped peppermint candy
cost but little. Yet the bunch Of cheap
things will seem like Christmas, the
real true-true Christmas, when it is
dumped out of the little stocking.
Concerning more important gifts
than these, they also may be of the
cheapest sort. All a little child ex-
poets is something new, so the tribes
bought at a reasonable hour at thu
ten-cent store, the cheap, home-dress-
ed doll, the nickel watch or fifteen
cent box OF paints. are all equally
priced. What the kiddies want is to
feel their Yuletide angels near them,
and q little extra bother, little ex-
ira patience, will achieve this bless
ing Remember, too, the child with
out the gates, for it needs share Of
your joy. Sit up little later for the
next six nights and see what you can
make out Of pretty scraps Of stun on
hand, the colored pictures In the old
fashion books, etc. Let all the chill
dren who cross your way feel some
Of the gladness that is In your own
heart. It is so easy. Don't grumble:
do what you can with enthusiasm and
give everything with love.
The worst sinners against Christ
mas peace are those who feel the
season is q nuisance and who do their
level best to make others feel the
same thing. They hate the excite
ment. the exchange OF presents. the
letters or cards they must send, the
idea Of having to give servants money,
the dinners they must get up, those
which they must attend. And in hat
ing these, and all the dozen and one
duties Of the Christmastide. they
hate everything the Joy that Is in
the air, the sweet church bells, the
cherubim and seraphim Of Bethlehem,
and even him whose coming the
prophet Micah foretold 90 long be-
fore.

To come down to plain, everyday
speaking, here are few Of the sins

NIT against the holiness, love and

Everybody knows that year by year
the shops make a strenuous effort to
encourage the early buying of gifts.
Christmas goods are put on sale quite
six weeks before they are needed,
