humanized it. He brought it down to
the present, and it has stayed there
ever since.
His Christmas Stories broke the
spell. Like the man who pronounced
the magic words in the Arabian
Nights and the dead city teemed with
life, SO these little tales of Dickens
awoke the sleeping sentiment, made
a new world at Christmas time, a
world of fun and frolic and feasting,
of gifts and good nature, of heart and
happiness.
What these Christmas Stories did
yesterday, they are doing today. Only
last week, the Kansas City Star, one
of the best edited papers in the coun-
try, wiped out all it's editorials to
print bits from these Stories, each I'M

that were necessary, good will to men
and glory to God.
And it urged, as we do today, that
each man and woman, no matter how
busy, on whom the hard truths of the
world press too heavily, read these
Stories over to lift the burden for
time, to blow the embers into a cheer
ing blaze again.

DICKENS AND CHRISTMAS.

"On the day before Christmas about
forty English lovers of Dickens will
undertake a journey in three coaches
yer the route supposed to have been
followed by Samuel Pickwick and his
friends. Everybody will dress in the
st lie of Dickens day, even to the
coachman and the employees of the
inn at Rochester, where, according to
the story, Pickwick and his friends
gathered. The party4wilI dine there in
the evening just as Pickwick might
have DONE"
what the English speaking world owes
to Dickens at Christmas time. If all
who have felt the real Dickens Christ
mas spirit-that feeling of love and
sympathy and charity for all the
world, that universal goodfellowship
which takes in prince and pauper-
were to take concerted action, the
Canterbury Pilgrimage would be a
mere circus procession in comparison
and the Crusades, which almost swept
lands bare of people. would sink back
in the mist.
Christmas was there when Dickens
began to write, but it was dull and
heavy. 1t moved on, not by its own
generous impulses and the quickening
of religious fervor but through the
momentum of the ages. Dickens put
life and color and feeling in it. He

EVENING CHAT
On Christmas Cards.
RT RUTH CANERoN.

|
| what use are you making of Christ
| mas cards?
Are you letting them help you solve
| the problem of how to remember all
tnose friends toward whom your heart
is warm at Christmas time, without
bankrupting yourself, soul and BODY
and pocketbook?
Or are you letting the Christmas
caro- hab1t impose an additional bur-
den upon you?
The other day 1 was standing in
front of one of those shops whose win
dows blaze with thousand veri-color-
eo Christmas cards, rejecting with
pleasure that these offered a blessed
solution OF our annual struggle, when
heard one woman say to another:
"Oh, dear, I've got to spend half the
afternoon in there picking out post
cards AS if it wasn't enough that
i've spent every spare moment for the
last six months on my Christmas work
and spent twice as much money as
can afford now I've got to put out a
lot more money and time on Christ
mas cards. I've got a list of thirty
two that 1 suppose I've got ii send to-
really think this Christmas card
business is the last straw
Now wasn't she a foolish woman?
And yet 1 don't doubt that there
are great many like her, who, in
stead of substituting a word of greet
ing on a pretty Christmas card for
gifts that they cannot afford to make
fore, and in edition build up a long
list of friends with whom they feel in
duty bound to exchange Christmas
cards.
Christmas gift giving has become a
r1diculously abnormal growth. 1t
needs to be reduced, not enlarged And
the pretty Christmas cards, with their
appropriate and beautiful sentiments
which fill our shops offer us an OPP
portunity to do this.
Are you going to accept it or not
A young woman who has been out
of school about five years was going
over her Christmas list. 'I actually
haven't seen Mildred for two years."
she said, naming one of her old
schoolmates, land I haven't heard
from her except when she thanked me
for my last years Christmas gift or
written her except to thank her for
what she sent me. 1t really seems alb
surd for us to keep on exchanging gifts
at Christmas and not having anything
to do with each other between times,
doesn't it?"
cit certainly does" responded
with fervor. why don't you send her
a card?'
81 think WILL she said.
Undoubtedly there are some people
on your Christmas list with whom
your exchange OF presents has become
as absurd and burdensome a formal
ity. Why don't you simply send them
a card?
I hope you are saying st will"
