The W0mans Club
Christmas All Year.
Edited BY The womsns Club


A spirit of generosity pervades the
Yuletide atmosphere. 1t is known and
practiced at no other season of the
year as at Christmas. 1t is felt in
every city. in every town. in every
village, in the entire country.
People are prone to be more thought
full. Men manifest desires to spread
good cheer; women weave little acts
of love, kindness and devotion into
Christmas good will; children cherish
their companions and fortunes. Per-
sons unconsciously instill into each
other a desire to distribute happiness
everywhere. 1t all comes on the
wings of that indefinsble thing under
stood by few, but referred to by many
as the Christmas spirit. 1t is invisible,
but can be seen; it is not material, but
can be felt. 1t comes every Christ
mas, but too often leaves to return
perhaps next year, when the real holt
day spirit again is felt.
Why does this fellowship of love and
good will depart from the souls Of 50
many persons on the wings of time?
Why does not the same spirit remain
in the atmosphere after men again as
sumo their routine Of work and women
become normal after their Christmas
cares and worries?
Would II not be a good thing If this
same Christmas spirit could continue
throughout the twelve months of the
yeai? Would it not be a good thing
for mankind il all stopped to think OF
others as they do during the Yuletide
sc ason. IL oil endesvorel to fill the
lives of their friends. acqusintances
and the less fortunate with good cheer
and happiness throughout winter and
summer. spring and autumn?
Try this for next year. Make it one
of your resolutions. and if one resolve
to do all in his power to make others
happy throughout the entire twelve
months no other resolution will be
necessary to assure one Of happiness.
After all is said and done the only real
happiness is derived from making
others happy.

is barely time to wonder at this strange

trough is again full The ebb and flow
continues with more or less marked effect
and the water is never at the same level

For an active farmer to quit the farm
