Sacrifice Is Spirit OF Christmas

A curious thing comes to my mind
concerning which | have word to say
and that is apropos of honesty. No one
has right to give away anything except
What may be in excess of the Just de-
mands upon the income. The butcher the
baker the dry goods man, needs his
money as surely as does the enthusiastic
woman eager to make a pretty gift or
the lover to bestow upon his sweetheart
what he knows is her hearts desire Sue
cessful Christmas giving should mean
seif-sacrifice, and it is often a greater
sacrifice, to deny oneself the privilege of
expenditure than to do just what one
has in mind. | believe that from the
nursery days this theory should be in
culcated, and, as the coming to this
world of our blessed Lord was one great
act OF sacrifice, so IN planning for our
Christmas gifts each child in the family
should be encouraged to something of SET
sacrifice in the gathering together of the
money for h S gifts. | like to picture the
Cd fashioned Virginia home, where
round the library table through the fall
months the children of the household and
the kinsfolk and acquaintance who
might be within the doors busted them
selves in the preparation of dainty moth
ings which should carry on Christmas
morn the sweet words of loving remem-
brance.-Julia Holmes. Smith.

Christmas Don'ts

Don't let Christmas giving deteriorate
into trade
Don't let the money dominate your
Christmas giving.
Don't embarrass yourself by giving
more than you can afford
! Don't expect to receive as much as you
| give, as the odds are on the disappont-
ment.
Don't acquire your Yuletide before the
fun of Christmas actually begins. No
| Christmas is fulfilled when the celebrant
is filled full.
Don't be the first to tell a child there
is no Santa Claus. If you have to lie
J about it lie, and lie as attractively as
I your education will permit.
| Don't eat your Christmas dinner in a
restaurant If you can find any old home
that you may eat it in, for a Christmas
dinner in a home is worth two in the
| bush.
Don't let your Christmas go by with
out giving some sort of present to
child. The excuse that you know no chill
dren will not suffice. You can know
| plenty of them between now and the day
of days.
| Don't decide to abstain from giving
just because you cannot afford expensive
! presents The thoughtfulness of your
gift, the interest you take in those to
whom you give, are the principal things.
| The intrinsic value of your gift counts
| very little
Don't give things because they are
cheap and make a big show for the
money. AS a rule, it is a dangerous
thing to pick up a lot of all sorts of
things at bargain sa.es for Christmas
presents If you do there is always the
temptation to make inappropriate gifts

The Christmas Candle

Christmas games for Christmas day
should be just the jolliest and most roll
licking sort one can possibly find, and
one that will make everybody laugh in
spite of himself is the game of the Christ
mas candle. This should be played I'M
der the supervision OF, an older person.
To play it after the fashion of the little
English children of the time o. Queen
Elizabeth quite long, fat wax candle
should be provided, with one child chosen
to hold the lighted candle and another to
try to blow it out. The blower" is plac-
ed few feet away from the candle,
which is held at the height of his head,
and facing it. He is then blindfolded,
turned around three times and told to
take as many steps as he was required to
before, and in the same direction he
thinks the candle to be. Then he blows,
trying to put out the candles flame. Per
haps the child walked straight away
from the candle, Anyway his attempts
will be very funny indeed as he puffs out
his cheeks and s-prooably in the
wrong direction-and they will cause
much merriment among tine other child
rem. Another way of playing this can
die game is to use one of the tiny I'M
burnable Christmas trees which are to be
found in the stores now. Very small
co.ored candles are fastened to the tree
and lighted, and one child holds it. viii.

how many candles he can blow out at one

The three great forward steps in
woman's housework are:
The modern range in place of the
old fireplace and kettle;
The sewing machine in place of
laborions hand-sewlng:
Fels-Naptha soap, which makes it
easy to wash clothes in cool or lukewarm
water, without boiling or hard rubbing.
Of these three, Fels-Naptha saves the
woman more back-breaking labor, more
time, more money, and does more to
make life pleasanter than either of the
others.
At the very first. you can see how it
saves time and labor, but perhaps you'll
wonder how Fels-Naptha saves money.
In two ways: First it saves the cost of
coal or gas to heat water and boil the
clothes.
Then the clothes last longer when
washed with Fels-Naptha in cool or luke
warm water.
Their fibre isn't weakened by boil
ing nor strained BY hard rubbing.
You can't reaiize just what IA help
Fels-Naptha is until you've tried it in
your own washing.
Why not begin next washdayl
