ONE WOMAN TO ANOTHER
The True Christmas Spirit-Too Much HIercenary Swapping-Seek to
 Help Others.

Now that we are creeping up to the Christmas season. it is well to have 3 little talk on the spirit of giving publications are taking up this topic seriously. pleading for a sane, sensible and satisfactory Christmas.
 To many of us the Christnas-tide is the narrowing fear of forgettinS some one who will remember US. Like wise there is the feeling of obligation in the matter of giving to lots of peo- us even a little bit Tn conjunction. with this and the natural sequence of it. comes the tendency to overspend. epidemic The attendant reaction comes when bills are received. or we find that we must stint the family or and fnexcusable extravagance.
 While this Is a Christmas feature that we all wish to overcome, 1t is not so morally enervatinE as the mer- such an extent that it dominates our giving. even when we feel that we are putting into the seasons activities our very best motive.
 Take for example our rich friends to whom we feel we must give some thing. Instead mere remem brance indicating the sentiment of the season they, who can wee1 afford to buy the costliest gifts. are the ones for whom we scrimyp and to whom we give the expensive gift Those who would 
 never can afford are given a cheap ''remembrance.''
 If we were to remedy this we should try and cultivate better spirit, the real spirit of the Christ Child
 Nothing is more beautiful than the exquisite pleasure one derives from giving, if it is done as a. free will of fering, with a desire to select just what we know is the thing most wish ed for To give solely because it is Christmas, and to rush around and dispense something here, there and everywhere indiscriminately, and with no thought as to the suitability of the gift, Is forse than to not give atall. This is true even though you run the risk of being called A stingy Old Thing"
 Even a Christmas card with a thought that has a personal signif- canoe is peter than a hastily purchas- ed expensive trifle given only because of the feeling of obligation.
 We all must remember in Little Women how the March children gave up their Christmas breakfast to the poor family around the corner. and how much happier. all Christmas day was for this initial sacrifice.
 This is the sort of thing that makes Christmas real. that fosters and main fains the mea ming of Peace on Earth, Good Will to Men, This spirit in so many instances appears to have become only a saying with no signi- fcance.
