TAKING CHRISTMAS HARD
BY ADA PATTERSON.

I carried home one of the fragrant
leaves. kept 1t on my desk for
week, and when II had faded | placed
it between the leaves Of the book /
oftenest read, as a reminder of the
true Christmas spirit
Those who say and mean that they
hate Christmas are chiefly those
who are self-centred. They hate
Christmas because they keep books
about 1t. They keep list of the
gifts received last Christmas. and try
To remember the donors in kind and
degree. II Mary spent five dollars for
her gifts to them they pay IS dollars
for their gift TO Mary. II Jane yield
ed up seven dollars they do the same
though with not always inward groan-
ings. If John forgot they forget.
Christmas would be a great deal
more fun II We would burn last Christ
mas list Sufficient unto last Christ
mas was last Christmas.
The JOY OF this holiday season Is its
spontaneity. Unwelcome is the gift
that is mere payment for the gift
made last Natal Day We make gifts
because We owe them. We send little
or large ribbon wrapped packages in
soft wrxppings Of tissue paper be-
cause We hold good will toward the
person to whom we send them. We
send these parcels first To our home
folk. and our heart folk. Then to the
persons who have served us during the
year. the bell boy, the seamstress the
paper carrier. Then to our friends SO
far as purse will allow, and leaving
a margin for those with whom the
year has not kindly dealt, or upon
whom lifs has turned a grim face.
That at least is what we should do.
and II we do and begin early enough.
Christmas will be what 1t was de-
sisned to be. tho great annual heart
warming VI humanity.
